gazza ladra Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 inept, spineless, useless the guy is not a football manager he signed 6 players, and didn't do anything with our biggest weakness midfield, so as far as he see's it all is fine their I think the thinking was that Barton would return and having Barton back would be the same as signing two new players--- or something to that effect.

Midfield we have loads of players to cover should one of them get injured, not so much elsewhere. not disputing we need better CMs, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 In summer he needs to get rid of Nolan, Smith - i'm sure there are some Premier League clubs who kinda rate these two - thankfully Butt's contract is up .. Hughton should have really got someone in there in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 One thing which worries me about our defensive line ups away from home: I don't have any objection to sitting back and keeping a strong shape, but we don't seem to have any effective counter attack strategy. I don't know if this is down to lack of preparation or just poor execution by the players. Personally I just don't think the players are good enough. The ball bounces back off Carroll and Lovenkrands, and the midfield is generally run ragged by the fitter, faster opposition. I think Hughton could think a bit more out of the box for a solution. I think it was David28 who mentioned Keegan's use of Owen being a good example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He discovered a way to play such an attractive football that we maybe won't see here in the next years. The use of Owen there was an absolute masterstroke as well as Owen was unmarked in most parts of the game and could ghost into the box and score.

Guest Mantis Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Dont want to be accused of kneejerk but we have won 2 league games out of 8, haven't played great in more than half a dozen league games this season, been outplayed twice out of three meetings with West Brom and the teams in this league are abysmal. Sack! Wont happen, but we are in danger of throwing automatic promotion if he persists with his 'I'm looking for the team to show a reaction to the previous defeat' bullshit. 30 mins before they put in a challenge today. Gutless! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 how long before we bay forhis head bearing in mind ashley will still keep him regarless of results Calling for his head is pointless, I wouldn't trust Llambias and Ashley to replace him with anything better, he's not the only clueless one at the club.

Mr Logic Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I don't know how you can take 11 players who have trained to be footballers all their lives, (well, since about 11 or 12), and make them look like you took 11 guys out of the stand half an hour before kick-off.

macca888 Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 We all know that Ashley wont sack Hughton because he is yes man and does what he is told. We wont get a big name manager because we dont have the funds to give him to spend. Ashley's 5 year plan is basically to put the club on the market every year for the next 5 years and hope he sells. That is it. We are stuck with Hughton so dont expect much in the ensuing seasons, e4specially if we go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 We're at least 3 years from seeing a good manager here, between now and then we'll be managed by somebody who is seen as not wanting too much and will not rock the boat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
