Chris Hughton

well done chris well deserved

[Ritchie]

Did Nolan get the player of the month?

 

He came second behind Leon Best.

[Willow]

Hats off to the man, doing a great job filling in

 

:clap:

[Jayson]

Well we've had a better month than all the rest so in that sense he deserves it. Havent been that impressed compared to last month though, thought he was doing a better job then.

[Delima]

WELL DONE MISTER HUGHTON

[bealios]

Perhaps the only person who will come through the whole debacle of the Ashley era with his reputation improved as a result of his association with NUFC.

 

[Dave]

Dropped Butt again.

Nice

[Skirge]

Dropped Butt and its the RIGHT thing to do but then why the fk is he still our first team Captain? take the armband off Butt and give it to Smith on a perminant basis.

I'm sure I read the decision to give the armband to Butt was Smith's and not Hughton's.

[Yorkie]

Finished the game with four strikers on the pitch today. Fair play.

[Pilko]

Correctly replaced Jonas.

[Frazzle]

He's still a crap manager Hughton, no matter how many manager awards he wins. 

 

The squad he has is head and shoulders above any other in the league so we should be bloody top.  The problem we've got is that things such as Jonas' motivation problems, Ranger/Carroll naivety, Taylor/Colo rushes of blood to the head will never be remedied under Hughton.  All this talk about giving him to the end of the season is rubbish in my opinion, AND I KNOW IT WONT HAPPEN, but we a manager a.s.a.p.  I don't know what's going to happen next season (Ashley and Hughton here? Ashley and A.N.Other? Shearer and Moat?) but whatever the scenario a new manager should be given as much time to sort out his team and tactics for the PL.  No doubt Ashley will leave an appointment to the last minute, if he makes one at all.

 

What a mess.

 

PS: keep up the good work Chris! 

[TRon]

Don't think he's doing a lot wrong tbh. These are the players we've got and the results are probably as good as could be expected from them.

- today was just the players underperforming a bit, nothing really to do with his team selection imo. He made decentish subs (if maybe 10 mins later than my liking) as well.

[Frazzle]

Being a manager is more than team selection and subs though, it's his job to make sure the players don't underperform!

Was no shortage of effort though (bar Jonas).

Agreed. Jonas was the weak link today and was taken off. Butt was the weak link on Wednesday and Hughton took him off, and in the programme today Butt says he wasn't happy to be taken off, so I bet he wasn't happy being left out today but at least Hughton has the cajones to drop an underperforming captain, unlike the manager last season who allowed our captain then to take the piss effort wise.

You've got to admit that, whilst Hughton is doing alright in difficult circumstances, he isn't a good manager though?  You wouldn't him him full time would you?  And there's gotta be a reason for that.

Aye, I agree with all of that. I think in the circumstances, he's doing okay (better than I thought) and it's fair enough he gets praise for that. Having said that, I'm probably the biggest Hughton sympathiser on here.

Has anyone said that they want him for our permanant manager?

 

He is doing a grand job considering the state of the club, but you, me and he knows that no-one wants him as permanant manager. He is far happier being an assistant, but until Ashley sorts something out by way of a manager he isn't doing too bad a job.

[Dave]

Hughton deserves all the credit coming his way considering the circumstances, but a decent manager would certainly have this set of players beating the likes of QPR and Bristol City at home.

 

As cp40 has said a number of times, we really could piss this league if we sorted ourselves out. Unfortunately that looks distant at present.

I'm not sure about that tbh. Is any manager going to give Gutierrez a good delivery? Or Butt and Nolan a new pair of legs? The players who are turning in consistently good performances are the likes of Steve Taylor, Colo and Smith and that's because they are better than the opposition at this level. The rest of them I'm not sure it's possible to get much more from them. Guthrie maybe, but his lack of authority is worrying.
