You are every bit as bad as Archant in failing to acknowledge the reality of our position. With a general acceptance that we are unlikely to gain points from our last 4 or 5 games, we need at this stage, a buffer of a lot more than 2 points. The window has closed with no additions of note (a couple of squad number boosters) while other teams have been actively trying to bring in newcomers who will make a difference. Throughout this time, our management spent all their time on the subject of Hughton''s continuation in his role and issuing statements about Hoolahan and Aston Villa. It''s not a case of negativity, more one of frustration at not addressing the shortcomings in the team and performance levels. Don''t be swayed by the EDP/EEN reporting, it is all part of the mutual dependency that exists between NCFC and Archant.
