Yes. With Hughton in charge and the negative football we''re playing its inevitable. Those below us and around us are starring to pick up points in games they should be picking points up in. We''re not. I think we have the players to dig us out of this mess but not using the tactics Hughton deploys.

Couldn''t agree more.   And I''ll add that his lack of awareness means that he is unable (or perhaps unwilling?) to make alterations when his initial approach goes pear shaped.   Hughton OUT................................NOW

Hoddle, Solskjaer, Been. If not, one of the circus clowns from the hippodrome. Won''t do any worse than the 3 clowns currently in charge

I think we''ll be lucky to get NIL

I think I''d rather play with 10 than include Johnson.  A truly awful player.   10 + Johnson or 10?  No difference

A manager who has the ability to read a game and alter tactics as and when required.  Not to make 2 substitutions, neither of which were bringing on strikers, in the 89th minute chasing a game 2-1 down.

As much as I feel Hughton''s time should be up, I think he''ll be given 3 more games by the board, with a minimum of 7 points needed to avoid the chop. Next 3 are WHU and Palace at home with a trip to Newcastle I think? Not unrealistic to expect 7 points from those games, despite Newcastle''s win over Chelsea

Glenn Hoddle

We may well do Mr B, but not with Hughton at the helm

[quote user="Ketts Rebel"]Come on people. I know we have had better days out but; Surely its just been a tough few games against world class teams - Chelsea, Arsenal, Man U, Man City ? [/quote] Yea with a hard fought 0-0 draw against the mighty Cardiff at home in between. Not panicking. Might be if the board decides to give Hughton and the other 2 clowns more games. Get him out now

I''ve often wondered exactly what Calderwood and Trollope do for their money. Harping back to the Lambert era, I believe Culverhouse and Karsa took charge of training and Lambert focused on being the manager. Now, as has been said somewhere before on this board, I''m sure Hughton takes charge of everything. So other than being "yes" men, what do these two do? Maybe get rid of these two and promote Neil Adams to No.2?

As much as I have lost all faith in Hughton, replacing him with Adams is absurd. This has to be the worst suggestion as a replacement yet

Out

On MOTD quote "at 2-1 down you have a decision to make. Do you stick with what you''ve got or go for it". That Hughton had to think about whether or not to try and get a result is indicative of the negativity shown by this man. OK he ''went for it'' and made changes which didn''t pay off. But to consider it? This man is a clown and must go.

[quote user="First Wizard"]I will not judge Hughton too much on this game, unless its a major foul up.........but I will against Cardiff.[/quote] I guess with a statement like that you will need to be at the match v Cardiff to judge Hughton. Will you be there, Wiz?

Jog on. [/quote] Go on then - you asked the questions.  What are your answers?  [/quote] OK, firstly I don''t think that Hughton and his cohorts'' position is untenable, yet, but a defeat and increased sections of the crowd will be calling for his head.  I''ve never been entirely convinced about Hughton''s credentials.  OK, 11th is the highest position since the days of Mike Walker in the 90s, but that''s not a correct reflection of the season.  Until 3 games to go, we were still in a relegation scrap and came up against 2 teams who were in effect "on the beach" in WBA and Man City.  I''ve looked at Hughton''s record as a manager.  Discounting his time at Newcastle when he won the Championship at a canter with a Premier League side, his win ratio is not impressive.   On reflection, I don''t believe that the board will knee-jerk react to a defeat by Bury, but it will certainly heap an awful amount of pressure on Hughton and Co. and if he loses the fans, it won''t be long before he loses the board and is out.

[quote user="Dubai Mark"]I see Mark Fotheringham our ex legend has signed for Notts County today. I actually didnt think he was as bad as some make out, that said, its another example of just how far the club has come in such a few years![/quote] Not as bad as some make out? He was sh1te. One of the worst players I''ve ever seen in my 40 years of following Norwich. Made captain too, but by an absolute cretin

[quote user="Joanna Grey"]You are covering old ground here, your points have been mentioned a few times in the other threads about him. And it''s Ginkel ;-) .[/quote] Whoo, whoo, it''s the pedantic forum police. Move on, nothing to see here

That''s 3 times this season as far as I''m aware. Hughtons line up suggested he was content with a point. These negative tactics aren''t good enough. Stay up or go down, hughton out

[quote user="Jimmy Smith"]Surely worth a go. Try get in early vs Arsenal, if we endup losing 3-0, we gave it a go at least. I reckon if we went along with that tactic for the last 6 games, we''d at least win 1 or 2[/quote]   I can see this working.  When the Arsenal team and management see the line up with both Holt and Kamara in it, they''ll be besides themselves with laughter and mirth and lose all focus on the 90 minutes ahead!!
