Normal Service Appears To Have Been Resumed

[First Wazzock 902]

I must confess to being slightly fearful following Lamberts departure, after all we have been spoilt with the football we have seen over the last three years. It is a worry when you get a new manager, will there be a smooth transition or will it all end in tears?

Last week was a bit of a disaster, but today my faith was restored. We played well and deserved the three points, the normal attacking flair was there that we have been used to seeing. The new signings looked good and on this showing, with possibly more coming in, hopefully things will get better still.

After the positive showing today, we will have nothing to worry about this season.

By normal service are you alluding to the fact that our resident Doom-mongerer(s) are conspicuous by his/their absence(s) after a decent performance?

[Mr Brownstone 0]

My thoughts exactly Waz. Aside from not making a change earlier (understandable after last weeks results that both managers would settle for a point) I wouldn''t have known that Hughton was in the touchline instead of Lambert.

Well Fulham away is always a nightmare for us, I hate it when that fixture comes up and they played well against Man United today, so their form is quite good atm.I am glad we played well, I had a feeling we would (like it couldnt have gotten any worse) hopefully we can build on this performance and get even better, we just need to take our chances.

"the normal attacking flair was there that we have been used to seeing"

 

That is what pleased most I would suggest.

 

Talking to a few others in the pub before the game the consensus seemed to be one of more frustration than despair or even worry. We are better than what happened at Fulham and if there was any cause for concern was that maybe Chris Hughton is going to try and fit too many square pegs in round holes, play defensive, only play one up front etc ... pretty much all the things that ''weren''t us''.

 

But all that was blown away today ............we came good today, in so many ways

All doom and gloom on here for weeks until today[st]

 

But.....

 

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain [H]

 

Even Rickyyyyyyyyy''s glass has been topped up[B]

 

But was it Peroni[:^)]

Agreed! And now it''s possible that the changes in the summer could actually improve us.....

 

Who saw that coming[8-|]

The defence was too organised for a Lambert team [;)]

 Good point, but we still looked a big threat going forwards.

I doubt you would be able to tell the difference

Indeed, good to watch at times, I''d argue we actually kept the ball better than most Premier League games under Lambert.

[RvWs 4 year contract 0]

Agreed. I might have gone OTT in my reactions but I didnt call for Hoot to get sacked.Who''s going to Spurs next week then?!

[kingsway 94]

Much better today, albeit against one of the poorer Premiership teams!

 

One must remember a League season is a marathon not a sprint and also that we had two players making their debuts so the team is definatelty a work in progress!

[starman 0]

I disagree,we different to a Lambert side. Hughton has stamped a different Mark on the team and I feel we are not the same force going forward as last season..yet.

We did look solid at the back, much better than last week and that was encouraging.

However Wazzok, I didn''t see the match through the Rose coloured lenses you seem to have been wearing.

I am encouraged by today''s game and felt the new lads did a good job. Feel a new striker is essential before deadline day.

[Aggy 755]

I didn''t react too strongly last week, despite the woeful performance and result, and I won''t let me fears be fully allayed just yet either.

I''ll give it a few more weeks until we get an impression of which of these performances was the one off. I expect (and certainly hope) that the Fulham game was the one off and we''ll continue the same way as we played today.

Certainly a lot more reason to be positive now than the same time last Saturday night.

Never you mind about the Taddymeister i have just received a very disturbing report that Mrs.Nutty is currently in 6inner country this afternoon.[:^)]

work by it''s definition is ''in progress'', otherwise it is not work

That is just not true. A work (using the word, as kingsway did, as a noun) can be in progress or finished. Go to a museum and you can see hundreds of finished works. Buildings, once completed, are finished works.

Mrs nutty, Jellytot, Chloe and Eby don''t find it embarrassing and Jellytot saw them at FCR last year too. Have you ever seen a concert at FCR[:^)]
