Mr Logic Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Yep, my opinion cannot settle one way or the other either. Maybe he's a 'middle of the road' manager? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think he's already proven he's a good manager. We're obviously going to lose games and have bad runs, you can't always say that means the manager is crap, take Ancelotti as an example at the moment. On the other hand you could argue the opposite with the good runs but I think Hughton has shown enough in the last year and a half, with our rapid rise, to show he's a good manager. Mick, you seem to be basing your opinion on Hughton's ability entirely down to our results (thinking he's good after and few wins and bad after a few defeats), surely there comes a point where you have to accept that a manager is doing the best with the players he has got. You could argue Hughton isn't doing this it but that would be difficult IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I get the feeling that we'll turn up for almost every game with Hughton. In recent years, with Roeder, Souness, Kinnear, Fat Sam etc. there were games where you could see from the first minute that we were going to get battered, but this side is different, much down to the work of CH. I don't know what he is doing but this team has so much more fight in it than many of the other Newcastle sides that I've seen. It is going to become incredibly important come the end of the season.

Ketsbaia Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I don't think Hughton would be a success anywhere other than here tbh. Although he's clearly the right man for us at the moment. He should get a 2 year extension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Had it wrong today so far like. We've not been able to cope with their one man advantage in CM, needs sorting. Not his fault that his players can't pass mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 He wont get a new contract if he doesnt sign a new striker and possibly make another couple of signings. A few injuries and suspensions and we are absolutely awful, the results just wont come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 He's consistently awful with mid game tactical changes and substitutions. Fair enough he recognised Shola was dreadful today and subbed him at half time, but to bring on the flimsy Lovenkrnads with two more fitting replacements sitting on the bench is just crazy. I like Hughton but for every one thing he's done well this year, there's another where he's made a glaring error. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 He really does need to bring in an exceptional No2 in the next week or we might as well sack him now and bring in someone with experience, we can't afford to babysit the fuker any more.

Dave Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'm a fan but these huge swings in form are very worrying. We desperately need to bring in a #2 to help him out and get the contract situations sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 You have to look at the players as well. At the end of the day there was a decent side out there today and they just didnt turn up. They were gutless and pathetic, smacks of the relegation season and its no surprised most of this lot played for us that year too. Hughton has his share of the blame for not getting the players going of course, but at the end of the day they are 11 grown men and professional footballers, to walk out there and not even bother is ridiculous.

Ronaldo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 There's no excuse for today. There were alternatives to that joke alongside Carroll. Nobody forced us to play defensively against a team who got dicked 3-0 against Stoke in their last home game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 When you're a relegation struggler you're going to have some terrible losses. At the beginning of the season, Hughton himself mentioned the need to stay strong through these inevitable poor patches. We just have to accept that some degree of fluctuation is natural. There's still a lot of football to be played and there's no point in labeling him yet. Just in general principle, you shouldn't even consider sacking your manager unless he's a. lost the dressing room, or b. persists on making the same mistakes. We've seen none of that from Hughton.

AlanSkÃrare Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The balance today was nowhere to be seen, they played the same throughball in the middle all the time. We need Barton and Nolan back asap. Due an upturn in form now to avoid the drop zone before Christmas. Very important to get something from Liverpool and Birmingham. It should also be obvious to him that Shola offers far less than Ranger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attitude of some the players walking about the pitch today was sickening - Hughton isn't exempt from criticism on that point, but the difference in attitude was a major factor today. Four big players out today (five if you include old Benny) and man did it ever show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
