What 'type' is that? The team aren't bothered about records, as Hughton has rightly said. One match at a time. I thought we would get beaten by Reading two months ago.

Say what you want about his record, but the guy showed class in getting his Huddersfield players to give Gus's League One champions a guard of honour in the final match at Withdean, unlike the highly unclassy Adkins and Southampton in the previous game.
To be fair, I know a guy who worked under Lee Clarke at Birmingham at the time, he said that Clarke was generally a decent manager but had a lot of incompetent staff members around him and no budget to work with because they were still paying some of their ex-prem players around 60k a week.

That was despite whinging at the Galpharm, that our management team were supposedly waving 'imaginary cards' at the referee, trying to get one of his players sent off.

In hindsight, he probably had a point. I wouldn't have put it past Gus and Tanno to buy their own cards and wave them around on the sidelines. We got about 78 penalties that season and had a number of extras from the cast of Platoon.

I was at that game and it was a horrendous tackle. There were arms up in the air, but no 'waving of imaginary cards'.
I was at that game too, and both Gus and Tanno were waving what most people thought were imaginary red cards, which incensed the Town fans. I thought that was a bit harsh though, and thought our own version of the Chuckle Brothers were only waving imaginary yellow cards instead.
