Elliottman Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I like how he defends his players also. It doesn't matter if you're Wenger or Hughton, a bit of praise and support always helps. I would far rather we were united and f***ing everyone else off than letting other people run our business. Hughton will drop Nolan when he sees fit, but for now I don't think we have to worry too much. We'll get 13 points from our next 6 games and everyone will be happy again... dont have to worry? you saw the game on saturday right? we were very very lucky to come away with a point. One of the main reasons, not the sole reason, but one of the main reasons was because of Nolan. The amount of times he got dallying on the ball was incredible. Some of his passes were incredibly erratic. If these draws that we are sneaking start turning into defeats away from home, then we do need to start worrying.

Lotus Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 This year he's got better players than the opposition but the team performances on the whole haven't been very good. Next year he certainly won't have better players than the opposition in most games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Praise from Hughton means nowt man. And? Do you suggest he slates them? Or just stay quiet when asked a question? Honestly, anything other than praise will get picked up by the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Exactly my point, basically. Praise from him shouldn't be taken seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, anything other than praise will get picked up by the press. I see your point but I think if a player is genuinely interested in playing then knowing you have the managers support is a huge motivation. In terms of Nolan, the last thing I want to do is defend him, but from what iread he seems to be a decent bloke who genuinely wants to play and do well - he is just slow and fat. He knows he had a bad game and He knows that everyone is saying he crap he was. In such circumstances if the boss comes out and says he supports you it surely has to give him further motivation to try harder. If not, then he is a thankless b@stard and should be dropped to the youth team. I guess we will the answer in a few hours time. Howay the lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay the lads sorry, but if he wanted to do well, and really wanted to help this club and is such a nice guy, then he wouldnt be slow and fat. he a professional footballer ffs.

summerof69 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think telling nloan he is undroppable is a mistake however showing his support for the player is a good thing, hopefully against swansea he was just having a bad day and this form is only temporary. On the subject of Hughton imo he is doing a good job, we should keep him next season aswell because i'm not sure we could get any one better also i'm sick of people having a go at us for changing managers all the time. The thing that concerns me is the style of play , i like to see good passing football i realise we''ll never get it as good as what we had it when kk and sbr was here but that doesn't mean we still can't play some decent football.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Nothing about the way Nolan is playing is temporary. Unless he commits to a complete diet and fitness regime change, he'll never be a good player again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine you will be thinking Nolan has no where near the ability and you would be right, but he is plaing in the ccc does he need the same amount off ability ?

Went he went to Boro he piled on the beef. And, just because Nolan is playing in the Championship doesnt mean he is allowed to be fat and unfit. He's playing for arguably one of the biggest clubs in the Country, he is representing our team. He is being paid an amazing amount of money to be an athlete. There are no excuses.

eaststar Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 In a nutshell, my view is that hughton has said the right things - just said the right things about the wrong person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Nolan's fitness isn't going to make him capable of passing, he's clearly weak in this area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I reckon it was was alot easier to be a fatty footballer in the 80s/90s. I reckon the bottom line is Hughton is Nolan's bitch. I've seen Enrique in the club shop wearing a tight top with his muscles bursting out. Surely Nolan's shame in the showers should be enough encouragement to lose some pounds. Edit: Unless he's hung like Ron Jeremy, compensating for his shite physique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The bottom line is that as long as we are heading for promotion Hughton can justify his selection policy by pointing to the table. Personally I think Nolan is the worst example of a football professional and I don't agree with him being picked automatically for every game - makes the whole idea of resting other footballers a joke. With a bigger squad available it is going to be a test of Hughton's mettle whether he can keep everyone firing and the results favourable. There are signs that this new found team spirit is fading in some of the last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, not as a footballer though. He should consider a career as a doorman or something, he loves a night out. He could get tips from Mike Hooper.
