I have very little faith that Hughton has continued the one-to-one coaching that Shearer and Dowie started.
Caulkin claimed in a lengthy article the other day that Shearer's idea of them all eating together (as they did under Sir Bobby) had already gone out of the window, as had the series of fines for being late to training and stuff.
That's very disappointing if true
Everyone has to manage their own way. Even with half the team out, we're still top of the league, so Hughton must be doing something right.
Let's also bear in mind that Shearer won 1 out of 8, and we failed to score in 6 of those 8. He was still very much on the learning curve.
Nail on head to be honest
