madras Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If Hughton plays Smith ahead of Barton he should be sacked. tbf over their time here its a close call,however barton has looked very good in that position a while back so gets the nod.

Skirge Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If its say Chelski away I can see it being Smith --Tiote, I am sure if we had signed him for our first game it would have been then two as well. Barton is much more attack minded a box to box sort of player. Smith is now more the DCM type and I bet there will be away games where Hughton wants both.

TRon Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If Hughton plays Smith ahead of Barton he should be sacked. Smith will only play in the defensive midfield role. Barton should only play as a playmaker as his tackling is atrocious. I can't see how one can play instead of the other, it'll be Barton and Tiote with Smith as a stand in.

Yep. Steven Taylor is also bad for doing that, but he's a defender, so he has an excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I agree Smith has no REAL position but h is maybe our best DCM option and that's why Hughton wanted a more suited player IE: Tiote. Its why Tiote play will more than Smith IF he turns out to be as good as we hope or at least better than Smith, but tough away games will see Hughton play them both.

Skirge Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 So lets say Tiote turns out to be class and starts every game in CM as a DCM who along side him.. Barton ? with Nolan as 2nd striker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EthiGeordie Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If Hughton plays Smith ahead of Barton he should be sacked. Very harsh on Chrissy. He bought him to be a direct compition for Smith it develop we have a direct players for each postion the other midfield birth will be a direct fight between Barton and Guthri.

David28 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Did he arrive on Friday at the airport? Just a random question, because I did so, and I saw some kind of bodyguard/agent who was wearing black sunglasses despite it was around 10 in the morning and raining. Was thinking if that might had something to do with it. I was probably reading too much into it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Dunno if it's been mentioned but in his press conference yesterday Hughton said this wouldn't be through in time for Saturday's game, but things are progressing well and they don't anticipate any problems. I'm sure your an ITK with all your info Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to see Hughton against Wolves this weekend if he is ready. After 60 min of war at the pitch, he screams "Unleash the Cheick!!" The ref is giving him red when entering the pitch, for the other players safety Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
