[quote user="FenwayFrank"]Bjorn, how is Adeyemi doing ?[/quote]yeah he''s doing ok''ish, played 15 scored 3...a lot better than some put it that way. aint you got rid of Hughton yet?  LOL   must admit the Hammers result surprised me some what.  when you went one down the writing was on the wall, but a stunning come back has possibly saved Chris''s bacon! add to that you have some winnable games coming up and he could be ok til New Year.   good luck anyway for the rest of the season.

[quote user="Yellowbeagle"]I can recall seeing the Birmingham v Blackpool Play off semi final both legs, in the away leg Birmingham were terrible didn''t want to get out of their own half and rightly lost. second leg with Birmingham at home it was like a different team and I can remember saying why the F*** didn''t they play abit more adventurous in the away leg and they would have gone through. Trouble is that is exactly what has happened on a week to week basis with his management of us and that put such a stupid amount of pressure on home form, your basically saying we''ll play season of 19 home games while everyone else plays a full season. I have no confidence that he has a clue how to set up attacking wise for away games other than to sneak a result.[/quote]spot on mate, except we was 2-0 down in the home leg before we woke up and got two back but it was too late by then.one of Chris''s failures and some might agree, tactics are not his strong point they never have been and in the Premiership you''ll be ripped apart without some.  Chris''s substitutions always seemed labored to me at Blues, like they was happening 10 to 20 minutes  tolate, when fans all around we shouting out to change something. If you can identify with that then I think Hughton is the same now as he was back then.

[quote user="Le Juge"]smacks of sour grapes.[/quote]you having a laugh.  I wish Nathan Redmond the very best in his career and future.  He was almost forced out the door because of the finances at Blues.   Players are players, they come and go, I personally never get attached to players and I would think a few Norwich fans are the same..back onto Hughton I''m gobsmacked you haven''t let him go yet, The only thing I can think is holding an announcement up is a few things, the international break, the severance package (lets be honest it would be substantial). Certain quarters on the board giving him support. Or your directors are looking around at who''s available to make an announcement sooner rather than later after Hughton has goneI don''t really see how he stay,  you''ve scored one goal in the league in every 150 minutes of football and conceeded, with Sunderland seemingly on the up with new management and Palace about to name someone new., surely its prudent to do the same to give yourselves a chance of staying up.

I agree we did have something going forward, a font line of Zigic King, Burke ( all McLeish Signings) a young Nathan Redmond and various others.  But here''s a stat you may want to consider.  In the 37 ghames Nathan Redmond played in for Birmingham that season, we won only 15 of them.  admittedly he had some hardship to deal with, no money for transfers.  however he was still able to bring in some players and he brought in some dire rubbish.  The most endering stat of all was they we limped home into the play offs, sure we was undefeated in 9 games but 5 were draws,  wins against Doncaster (Relegated) Burnley, Palace and an already crowned champions Reading.our opening 11 games were won 3 Lost 5 draw 3we had two purple patches were we won 6 in a row in October and Januarybetween feb - mar we won 3 in 14 games!How we got into those play offs we always remain a mystery to me.basically Hughton for me will always remain the kind of manager who is a yes man, ordinary and uninspiring and with little emotion.  How you going to seriously going to get player motivated with that kind ethos.I''m not looking for Norwich fans to all agree with me, hell who am I.  I do however keep a watchful eye on Norwich''s results and I''d say something thats plainly obvious.  Hughton is out of his depth,I really hope you sort yourselves out and stay up, with hughton or a new manager. Good Luck.

I have read some threads on here and I get the general feeling you all want him gone? but have I got that wrong.. what is the main overall feeling on Hughton, do you want him gone?personally and I must add I don''t speak for all Birmingham fans, But I never rated the guy.  He signed some horrendous players on loan for us, Peter Ramage being one, another Adam Rooney and there''s more.  We played some Horrible football, worse now I grant you but under Hughton there was no conviction in the play.  We''d basically go through motions in most matches and you couldn''t really put your finger on specific reasons why we bottled it in Europe and then the play offs.   Some Birmingham fans will say he did a wonderful job.  I would argue that although he lost around 4 or 5 Premiership players in that first summer, the squad was basically the same and but for a few personnel he had a squad easily capable of at least reaching the play offs and thats what he did.    For some unexplained reason the media fall over themselves for quiet Chris, I myself see him for what he''s been all his career, a professional ordinary player who has carried this trait into being very ordinary manager.thoughts?
