AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Can't remember really, I always thought it was pointless though. Fair enough. Admittedly though, I think it's too soon to judge Pardew properly and I also think he might still do well, so I tend to pipe up in his defence more than in criticism.

He's been here 3 months which has included a transfer window and he's had both league and cup games. When will you start to judge him and what has he to do which he hasn't been able to do yet? He hasn't had a summer with the players and I haven't seen anything yet to suggest that a pre-season under him will provide any benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been manager for more than 3 months now, of course we can judge him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think 3 months is too short a time to judge a manager either way, it's no time at all in football and the influence of luck is huge. He needs all of next season at least IMO. I don't expect anyone to agree with me BTW, especially after a run of poor results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 The main point is that he doesn't have 2 games left to make up two points as you can work out points per game. It's a tad unfair though. Hughton gets 16 (19) games, whilst Pardew gets 14 (15). Whilst the number of games is taken into account in the average, the fact is that Hughton has had more opportunity to get points on the board than Pardew has. Adding cup games could be controversial but they are games played and part of our season. It could be argued that Hughton had easy games in the cup, so did Pardew. In all games Hughton has the better record of the two if you award points for draws and wins as you would in the league. Hughton Pl: 19 W: 7 D: 4 L: 8 Points - 25 PPG: 0.76 Pardew Pl: 15 W: 4 D: 5 L: 6 Points - 21 PPG: 0.71 If that is still the case in four games time, then I'll hold my hands up. But for me, as things stand, there's nothing between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
