Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted February 1, 2020 I have never come closer to not renewing my season ticket than I was under Hughton. Miserable, negative, sleep-inducing football that paid far too much respect to the opposition every week. We are naive and we're not good enough for this level, but we'll flourish again next year. If you're pining for Hughton-style football, you're going to spend a long time pining. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted February 1, 2020 The style of play under Hughton was more or less what 12-14 other teams in this league play every week this year. Difference is we had no pace or outstanding individuals to make things happen. We didn't have the right type of players to survive in this league that year and we don't this season either, the difference between now and then is that the league has gotten more competitive and harder to survive in. I've absolutely hated this season, I don''t understand how anyone can enjoy seeing this team beaten every week, usually in such cheap circumstances by some very poor footballing teams. But overall for me things are better for us now than they were towards the end of Hughtons reign. Difference is we will be very competitive next year without the gamble of a complete squad overhaul and hopefully Farke and Webber will have learned lessons for next time we're promoted and we'll attack this league in a less idealistic and one dimensional way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wazzock 902 Posted February 1, 2020 We used to have this standing joke when Hughton was in charge. A supposed situation that we were 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go what should Hughton do? Put on two attackers on and try to salvage a point? The answer was take off your main goal threat and bring on another defender to make sure we don't let in another one!

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted February 1, 2020 The Thought of Colin Calderwood in the stands with his Ipad and Houghton so scared of every team !

Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Hughton managed to keep us up for a season, signing the wrong type of strikers for his second season was his biggest mistake.( Ironically, we signed three strikers who would have fitted a lot better in his system after he was sacked.) Nonetheless, even when he was sacked, we were four points clear of relegation. Edited February 1, 2020 by Budapest Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted February 2, 2020 Hughton had the benefit of 2 seasons in the premier league under his belt and the finances that brought...at the beginning of that summer he had £25m-£30m to spend ...when that was still considered a lot ...which was spent on the likes of RVW, Hooper,Fer, Olsson, instead of progressing us as an estsblished premier lge side he took us backwards and made us unwatchable , certainly away from home.
