Yes, with trains running and the team NOT playing like shit in the corresponding fixture like last season.

I don’t really think it’s what CH actually said, I would expect the manager to be diplomatic in public. It’s because we then went out and played liked we were scared of every side we were up against and the players believed the opposition were much better than themselves.

One has to hope that a gem is unearthed in recruiting the new manager.

I’ve now boringly gone through Wales Online archives and can reassure you Icy that Potter is just as good at bigging up the opposition in pre match interviews as Hughton.
As I said before this really has to be the most ridiculous thing to be irked with Hughton about.

I totally agree. But having read about him and his background, career to date, qualifications and so on, everything seems to FIT and I believe it's all genuine.
He will be good at motivating people and getting the best out of them. It may all go horribly wrong, but I have a feeling we'll be ok.

No . It’s because laughably people actually think the two are connected. I mean come on., and every manager does it anyway including Potter .
It really has to be the most ludicrous explanation for Hughton,s flaws as as a manager.

The good news is, that the Hughton critics will soon shut up when they realise the team is still playing to avoid relegation as they have been over the last two years and will be until relegated.
It’s our level - unless we invest big - it’s just a fact
No it isn't.

Dangerous Idiot
I believe as TB does the squad is better than what we witnessed last season, the belief was drained from the players especially in the run in. We often played well until we conceded then heads dropped for some reason, I can only think the way CH set the team up they knew they had little chance of getting back in the game let alone win it. Obviously time will tell and I’m expecting some decent football with GP in charge.

I believe I said the three managers irked or bored me, not just CH. We’ll see with Potter, I’m not holding my breath though. I quite enjoyed Oscar’s press conferences

No problem calling out Hughton , he had a difficult season last year to say the least and there’s lots of factors to explain that - but arguing the players didn’t perform because of his pre match press conference or because he didn’t say “we” enough !! And that Potter is somehow different in that regard (clue: he isn’t ) is frankly ludicrous.

Really quite excited for this coming season mainly because with Chris still at the helm you pretty much knew how we'd set up and play. With GP in charge I don't think any of us know how he'll go but the sounds he's making are that we are going to take a more offensive approach. Will he go two up top, a back 3 as some have suggested - who knows, but I'm genuienly excited to see someone else have a go with different ideas.
Hopefully the likes of Andone, Ali J, Hemed, and Locadia will all benefit from a clean slate and new management style. Bring it on. Really looking forward to our first game at Watford and hopefully a different outcome to last season!

I don't remember this one. Is the ginger kid in it?

We have had Hyppia who was just plain boring to listen to and CH who said the same thing in every pre match interview, which also made it mostly boring. Before that we had Gus who touted himself at most of them
Maybe Potter will talk more about us than bigging up the opposition and make pre match press conferences interesting again. In fairness to Gus he was always worth a listen even if he pissed me off with what he said
What actually matters is how we perform though so I guess it’s all just bollocks anyway.
Nailed
True but the hope is we play a bit more exciting football. In theory no reason we can't play like Watford, Bournemouth or dare I say Palace. Unfortunately I'm not convinced we have the players to do it and Hughton just did the best with what we have.

So everybody who has criticised CH thinks we won't be playing to avoid relegation this year? These generalisations are comical.
Never been much of a critic myself since I have a pragmatic viewpoint, but I have friends who have been/are. They have no illusions as to where we are as a club.
The club lives on, I really wish we could all just look back fondly and move the **** on.
