lake district canary 4,531 Posted November 28, 2013 ....to redress the balance. Lets have a petition to keep Hughton in. He takes on a team on the bounce from a legend, addresses the leaky defence, takes us on to the second best run in Europe, beats ManU, Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham, takes us to our best position in the league for twenty odd years, recruits some excellent players who came here specifically because of him, starts the second season buying some more excellent players, has a mixed start, but with evidence of increased attacking potential in some matches and three goals scored in the last home match, putting us within one win of mid-table. Can you dispute any of that? I know things aren''t great, but win or lose on Saturday the above record stands up. We are not yet the fluent footballing team Hughton would like, but sometimes you have to be strong and ride the storm and I''d rather have Hughton than anyone new coming in.

hazza9 0 Posted November 28, 2013 I''ll dispute that he hasn''t sorted out the leaky defence and we have evidence of that in our goals against stat. Also I don''t want to see potential evidence of attacking football, I want to see some attacking football from the off and it not being just ''potential''. Also not just at the end of the second half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted November 28, 2013 I stopped reading when you said he has sorted out the leaky defence. You are completely deluded if you believe that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Catbeard The Old 0 Posted November 28, 2013 Packing the team with more defensive players and completely destroying the teams attacking ability is not improving a leaky defense. Lamberts defense full of championship players, playing an extremely high line with no real defensive midfield cover was only slightly worse despite him apparently being a poor defensive manager and Hughton apparently being a good one. Even if we try to just play balanced football with only one DM under Hughton we look a shambles. He does not know how to organize a defense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its well over the top and become a bandwagon devoid of any balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,717 Posted November 28, 2013 Sorry Wiz, but you were calling for his head after the Fulham mauling. That is why I get annoyed with you. There was never any chance for Hughton from the start.Sorry LDC for veering off topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted November 28, 2013 I was roundly castigated in some quarters for starting a thread asking a perfectly simple question as to whether people thought CH would survive a defeat on Sat.I know that it''s tongue in cheek, Lakey, and you are basically a good sort of bloke, but do we really need another petition thread ?

Warren Hill 0 Posted November 28, 2013 But those 4 are disagreeing with Wiz...if I suddenly found like minded people included Wiz and Smudger, I''d reconsider my position. Not because they''re definitely wrong but because they''ve been SOOOOOOO wrong in the past and so polarized to my own views. Still, that MacNamee was some player.

Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted November 28, 2013 For me it''s not a question of Hughton in or Hughton out, but rather one of what''s best for the future of the club. Clearly the Board feel that Hughton is the right man to do that or he would be gone by now. What happens now will be determined by performances and results, not by some emotional outbursts on this or any other messageboard. Palace will be the next test, but any decision made will be made in the interest of the club, and I am happy with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,501 Posted November 28, 2013 Wiz, what on Earth has happened? You''ve stopped abusing Hughton as if he were the Antichrist & adopting the (perfectly reasonable) position that he''a not a good enough manager.That''s fine. That''s not just me being self-appointed forum police or anything, it''s just civilised, it''s sane.It''s no fun being so consumed with hatred & bitterness; very few people set out to fail in their career, but sometimes they just can''t hack it for one reason or another. I would never hold their failure at NCFC against Peter Grant, Bryan Gunn - or even Roeder - as human beings.Far better to criticise Hughton over his managerial failures - there''s plenty of ammunition out there after all!

Izaak Hunt 0 Posted November 29, 2013 I''ve come to the conclusion your in ipsh1t fan L.D.C, anyone who wants who-ton in charge still can''t honestly want what''s best for this club. "Fixed the leaky defence" do shut up you pillock everyday you just talk more 5hite, by the bucket load at that.enjoy Portman road this season and next time you go on opposition fans boards. Try getting the facts right whilst pretending to be "one of them"............ now F**K OFF. that be all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,325 Posted November 29, 2013 Let''s check the table. Twelve games in and sixteenth position, one win off the eleventh placed team.Would I take that at the end of the season? I would hope for better but not disappointed, given the league in which we play. So yes I would take it.Would I want this manager sacked for finishing in sixteenth. Nope, the best we can ever hope for is somewhere between 11-17th. Wanting more is unreasonable. Hoping for more, sure that''s why we follow the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted November 29, 2013 I think every poster (well almost every poster) will read the post from PLMT and despair, this is totally unacceptable and I suggest that an apology to LDC is due. This board reflects both sides of any argument and when looking at the CH situation the views are as broad as LDC on one side, who many agree with and Wiz on the other side who also reflects the views of other posters albeit in a colourful way, lets just accept the views and opinions of each other without being insulting and abusive.

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted November 29, 2013 Couldn''t agree more, Mark. Though I do not agree with Lakey''s opinion, he''s a decent sort of chap, and I respect his view and modus operanda. He also tries to see the bigger picture.However, you single out PLMT and Wiz for criticism, but I have to say that there are one or two others (particularly one of the leaing lights of the Hughton In campaign,) who are not as broad minded, and when people on here quote facts that do not fit into their very narrow pov, start to lash out and dish out the names/ insults.In essence , what I''m saying is that I agree there is no place for this kind of stuff, but let''s not be too selectiive in who the culprits are ?
