Whilst never a ''Hoots out'' I was/am not sure about his two coaches, but has anyone noticed that for the last three games Calderwood has been sitting up in the stand.

Coincidence or not results wise but this seems to me a damn good idea, giving an alternative view of how the game is panning out.

My comment on last nights game is, what do we do when Holty''s not available? Once again our talisman was everywhere. getting stuck in with a smile on his face and a fantastic header leading to Jacko''s goal. Fantastic!

[paul moy 235]

He''s definitely improved in my estimation as one of his alleged favourites, Chris Martin, was thankfully IMO not anywhere near the team last night. He appears to be getting more adventurous as he realises the quality of the squad in attack and benefits of pace, so if he continues in that vein and goes for wins instead of draws he won''t go far wrong.

City 2nd is talking absolute nonsense. Whereas we did make 10 changes, Spurs started the game with four players who started against Southampton plus Dawson. They finished with three more players who started against Southampton. So 8 first teamers not a second string at all. For 80 minutes they also had a 12th man in their 4,000 fans who totally outsung the home crowd until we scored.

Errrr, think you missed the actual point made sonny. Probably why you only have 29 posts!

Can i suggest 1st Jan, by then we will be mid table and Villa will be propping up the league at which point there will be no need for a poll.

Your jury perhaps. Mine and many other people''s has delivered the verdict that Hughton is the right man for City now to take us to the next level. Aside from his coaching and management skills, we need a calm quiet head whilst we consolidate our Premier League status. Calmness is not a Lambert quality which is why Villa was a wrong move for him. Hughton is very much the right move for us in our present position.

You can let us know when your jury reports but I suspect it will be old news by thdn

[paul moy 235]

It''s far too premature to judge Hughton a success after one win in nine league games. The odds are now in his favour but I''d still swap him and his backroom team for Lambert and his staff.

[Yorkshire Canary 118]

He had a poor start but his experience and reputation always suggested he could turn it around. He has shown that in the last 3 games and also we have deserved that bit of luck that has been missing inother fixtures this season. It is still early days but the performances have picked up significantly and his signings are settling in very well by and large

[paul moy 235]

.. and it looks like my preferred alternative, Holloway, is off to Crystal Palace, according to Trollsport.

I''m happy to say that apart from a little bit of a panic after the Fulham game (on my part) I''ve fully been behind Hootun.He''ll keep us up this year. Easily.

[Surfbird 1]

Sorry Old Man - it is quite obvious to discerning fans that thanks to Hughton''s purchases we have a much stronger squad that is also far better organised particularly in defence.

[quote user="lincoln canary"]Don''t panic I''m here!! I still firmly believe Hughton, Calderwood & Trollope are not right for us and will take us down. Yes we beat arsenal, scored early then parked the bus, and yes we took a point against 10 men Villa, of whom most agree appear to be the poorest team in the league right now. And last night another win, wow! Look at the league table, we''ve along to go before we can eradicate our poor start. The next two games will be critical to our season, lets see how Hughton does when he actually has to send a team out to win![/quote]

[Jacko 0]

For me he was the outstanding candidate in the summer once it became clear that Lambert was leaving. So I was delighted to get him on board. I was surprised we didn''t have competition to appoint him to be honest.

However I wouldn''t go overboard ye Mortyt. The signs of improvement are very welcome and encouraging.But there is still a long way to go. Saturday remains a very important fixture and with QPR going head to head with Reading, a win is absolutely essential for us. Otherwise the picture changes again.

I also think he still needs to be a little more proactive in his substitutions at times. I felt that as soon as Villa were reduced to 10 men the situation demanded an extra striker being introduced. Instead we opted to wait an extra 10-15 mins and we eventually ran out of time to get a winner.

But at the moment I am very confident there are 3 worse teams in this division than us. This would allow to enjoy the benefits of a new TV deal and the club being debt free. I could see Hughton leading us for many years to come if that were to be the case this season.
