Who was the captain tonight

Yes this is what we need looking forward not backwards.

Shameful Thread any body who puts this thread title must be ashamed of and change it just " Hughton"

Yes Walking in HOGHTON Wonderland

I was so worried about this game..... so happy now.....

Good job Houghton

NO smith and no Butt also no Colo it should be intersting...

LOL

Very tough game. We met lots of inform side this season and Cardiff is firing in all cylinder.

You need to take anger management class to have a meaningful life in the future. Can you describe long ball and short ball for me...

I think it's ridiculous how much Hughton's tactics are being criticised tbh. I laughed at the naivety of it before, but it really does seem like a lot of people think it's as simple as putting (what they think is) the best 11 players on the pitch at the same time all the time. This gives absolutely no consideration to the fact that the manager has far more information about the players to go on than we do. He sees how they perform in training, no doubt trying different formations, he gets fitness reports on them, he should even give consideration to their mental state and what's going on in their personal life. He also has to try and balance playing the best team every week with rotating things to make sure the same players don't wear themselves out over a long season and that fringe players are not frozen out. We've got 5 games in 16 days coming up next, but I guess that won't come into the equation when people convince themselves the 11 players they put in a formation on a message board would have played beautiful flowing football and won every game 4-0. The fact is Hughton has very limited options to change things in any significant way as the players we have are limited in their ability. We've been very limited in terms of numbers in wide players, and in central midfield they are all much of a muchness except that Nolan has a knack of scoring goals. The players are good enough to get results in this league in the style we've been playing, but no way in the world is it going to be pretty no matter who plays or how they line up, and if we did try to change it there's absolutely no guarantee that "better" football would even maintain the same level of results let alone improve them. Here's some of my favourites from the crap that comes out: "He'll never drop Butt" changed immediately to "he'll never drop Smith/Nolan" once he did in fact drop Butt. I'm not sure who exactly is supposed to play in midfield once we drop Butt, Nolan and Smith. Guthrie and Vuckic I suppose, even though Guthrie's been equally poor when played central and hardly anyone's seen anything of Vuckic so he obviously "must be better". Lovenkrands dad died and because soon after he played one game and scored, that's all gone away and he should be playing week in week out again without a care in the world. "Why didn't he play <insert recently or even currently injured player>?" which of course would turn into "Why did he play <insert previously injured player> rushing him back too soon?" if any player who's been injured in the last month gets injured again. "When player X came on he changed the game". Of course this is used not as a compliment of a good substitution that a player was saved to be fresh coming on against a tired defence/midfield, but as a criticism that the player should have played from the start (where he may well have been far less effective pacing himself for a full game and up against a fresh defence). I swear even if Wenger or Ferguson were manager half of you would be criticising their tactics week in week out. Thanks UV it is great post this....

Voted NO

His Bullshit afterwords was spot on many levels. This club needed a complete surgery and it got it in May 2009.

This is for Ronaldo

Well when was the last time he lost a game in the league. Remember that and ask yourself inside your head if you are a fair and reasonable person. I doubt you are either if them.

This Thread convince me there are lots of low IQ people in this forum. Blaming the current manager for all the problems this club have is beyond imagination.

He can not say bad stuff about Butt publicly. No one wants to buy him right now so he have to say nice things about him until the summer. If he offer him new contract then I would be mad but he didn't do any of that so far.

Shame on you Ronaldo...... I wish you can describe things about him and make reasonable argument but u are a fluff. What was his choice in the summer when he was not able to sign any players but to sold all. Also have he done any bad signign this month? when was the last time we say at this football club the manger sign good players?

Who would be this new manager then? Jose Mourniho?

You think he can cut it as a PL manager? Yes he can cut in PL ..... Even if he doesn't he deserve the chance after what he have done this year.... why ppl forget how he fix everything this season is beyond my imagination.

I can not imagin how some ppl here don't give any credit for Houghton.

I am not unhappy at all. It would have been nice if he would be in charge but Houghton did great job and he deserve his chance for now
