i suppose tettey is flavour of the month right now. i personally don't see a great deal between him or johnson. i think tettey perhaps does the simple stuff a little better but when jonno sits in that holding role, rather than being asked to do more adventurous stuff, he is up to the task. either way, he's good back up at the very least!
I still have a lot of faith in CH, especially after the Chelsea performance. I think if CH does something similar with the substitutions against Cardiff it could actually work, do you guys think his impact subs would work better against them?
i think its important to differentiate between the section of fans who continuously give hughton stick, often for obscure reasons, with those who racially abuse him. people who criticise may be damaging the club in our opinion but people who racially abuse are scum. big difference.
impossible to tell until we know how the game pans out! i think he made all the correct calls against chelsea and we just got a little unlucky and made a careless error defensively but against arsenal i think hughton made the wrong call. it was ambitious certainly, and as has been said before, was exactly what many of the 'naysayers' were calling for, but it probably made things worse for us. nothing wrong with going for it though, if you think a result is possible - and he obviously did at the time to make that change! i think its the first proper mistake the manager has made since the tottenham game though. i can't see what else he could have done in the villa game and watford, stoke and chelsea were all positive. even arsenal was until the substitution of tettey. whether he was still feeling the head injury i don't know, but if he was, the right move would have been johnson on instead. easy with hindsight of course! i also would have been more tempted, if he wanted to change tettey, to put becchio on up front and play more long balls, just to mix it up and get hooper more involved.
It's tragic - as well as counter-productive, to have the club blasted all over the front pages of the tabloid press, rather than the sports pages at the back. It seems like a few mindless twats who want Hughton out (for whatever reasons) can't fault his ethos or tactics in the last few games so fall back on his ****ing colour, ffs. His colour wasn't so much of an issue back in May when we beat WBA 0-4 and Citeh 2-3, was it. The police must be able to trace the computer from which this ****e was sent through the ISP number. Let's hope they do - and make a scapegoat of the ****(s) responsible for the good of football at all levels in this country (Sorry about all the asterisks - you fill in the gaps as you think appropriate. I ****ing well did.)
I've no quarrel with your point about us not being quite there yet with the new style, but I question the bit about the new style being designed to accommodate the new strikers. I see it as the other way round; Hughton wanted RvW and Hooper because he wanted to shift us away from being a team basically dependent on wing play and crosses from wide. Cart before horse
to be fair, that is no doubt right that hughton brought players that could fit into the new style, i certainly wouldn't suggest anything other than that. my point was more about the current players adjusting to the new style. the new players weren't supposed to adjust to the old style but because we haven't quite nailed the new system and style, we've had a bit of a mish-mash and are just waiting for it to come together
I'm so pleased that most of you appear soo happy to watch Hughton take us back down to the Championship. Personally I CAN see 'the wood for the trees' and I'm totally pissed off. True, the next six games will define our season after which we will in all probability be well and truly in the doo doo.
I'd be really interested to learn what you'd have done differently so far this season which would have yielded more points. Or who you see as a realistic successor if /when your dreams reach fruition and what they'd bring to an obscenely cash-rich Premier League without seeing us up to the eyeballs in debt once again. I seriously would. Constructive criticism is valuable to the forum, whinging and being "totally pissed off" adds nothing. Just saying.
that's lovely, but why have you not answered my question about why neil adams is the right man to lead norwich city when chris hughton is not?
I was pretty 'pi55ed off' after the game at Hull, but have seen definite 'signs of improvement' in the last 2 games expecially.
yes, but JR, you do not have an agenda against the manager! kickitoff does. you are able to accept improvement or adjustments, even if we still don't get the result we all want - he cannot.
This is pretty much how I feel. I have to admit that I was wavering after the Hull game, but I've generally been satisfied with the performances since.
Oooh, hark at her ! No need for the personal abuse Beef, but if it makes you feel better carry on I've got broad shoulders
any chance of an answer with regards neil adams? i'd genuinely love to know why you think he's the man you'd replace hughton with
I purely suggested Neil Adams as it was the first name that came into my head. On reflection, I would probably offer it to Mike Phelan or Malky MacKay
why would you give it to phelan? malky i can understand more than the other two but there is no logical reason to bring up adams or phelan
