danielsroundabout 9 Posted February 8, 2014 Should we take it from your liberal use of punctuation that your comments are of a wind-up nature? I guess so, nobody could make them and mean them - could they? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Mass Debater 1,202 Posted February 8, 2014 Although I am a pretty firm Hughton outer, this is because of the typical approach to games and the below par performances of the players. Hughton got it spot on today. Whatever was different about today I hope he keeps doing it. Players played like their lives depended on it. If this keeps happening I will change my position on Hughton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 9, 2014 I am far from being his biggest fan but credit where credit is due great performance and valuable and unexpected point. It will be the 6 pointers though that decide our fate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,766 Posted February 9, 2014 Nah, you lose the right to criticise poor performances and managerial decisions if you can''t give credit when it''s due. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_norw 0 Posted February 9, 2014 I think the big difference yesterday was Yobo, the defence were a lot more solid and deserve the recognition for it, Sorry but Yobo''s name is now engraved on the team sheet as far as I''m concerned, his experience is invaluable to players in the squad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted February 9, 2014 I wasn''t at the match, but listened to the commentary on Canaries World. Adrian Forbes and Goreham were commenting on Redmond, and others looking tried after about 70 minutes - little surprise after all the energy spent by everyone. For several minutes they were surprised that Hughton was not preparing a substitute, especially for Redmond. Apparently he was looking at the management team as indicating that he was spent.As time went on , and Manchester really dominated, it was strange that Hughton did not bring on new legs, and it was absolutely amazing that Redmond somewhere found energy to make yet another run that nearly led to a goal. It worked out well in the end, but the refusal to make earlier substitutions could have cost us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 176 Posted February 9, 2014 Not a Hughton fan but have to admit he easily won the managerial contest yesterday. Certainly helped by Pellegrini''s ineptitude who in "typical Hughton style" did not have a Plan B. Man City started out as a practice match, and the result would be foregone conclusion, and never made any adjustment to ruffle a well organised defensive response from the Canaries. The visitors played the Barcelona/Swansea possession stuff without really looking to break down our defence. Little change of pace etc. Thought they would come out secondhalf with a more quicker and direct style of attack, but nothing changed. Pellegrini''s most amazing confession was that he instructed Toure, the best attacking midfielder in the league, to sit back in a more defensive role. Presumably he was aware that the Canaries have only scored 19 goals in 25 games and yesterday it was fairly obvious we would not break them down through the middle of the pitch. Have to say we were also helped by the appearance of Milner who does little for me.As for Hughton I suppose he started with Plan A and there was no need to change it. However Becchio should have been brought on near the end as he would have made an effort to chase down the defenders a bit and show a bit of fight and energy which Ricky failed to do. Arguably Ricky missed a great chance to win the game from Redmond''s late cross. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted February 10, 2014 claxtonfolly...you must be Wes? ............ I presume that I am not in the minority for thinking that this was a game definately not suited to bring Wes on??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It worked out well in the end, but the refusal to make earlier substitutions could have cost us.Redmond was our main attacking threat and to lose him would have put us under more pressure, Wes would not have coped with Toure, de Michaelis and Kompany I''m afraid and would have been brushed aside.Hughton often persists with Snoddy even when he''s not playing well as he believes he is most likely to create a goal scoring chance, I guess Redmond was Snoddy for this game.
