lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted March 24, 2014 God reading your posts LDC just make me want Hughton out even more! I honestly don''t believe you support Hughton as much as you make out. You enjoy the conflict you create. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]The point was about "boring football away from home". There is no other analysis than to say we were not "boring" away at Cardiff or West Ham and should have won both games if the strikers had put away their chances. Villa we started well, but had no answer to their strength and pace once they got going. Southampton was poor - if you want analysis on that one you''ll have to ask someone else - but whatever happened there we got the required reaction on Saturday to make ammends.

Marchant 5 Posted March 24, 2014 [quote user="sgncfc"]" This gave us a little bit more confidence but, trust me, if Wes Brown''s header had gone in, it would have been a completely different game[/quote]I always thought that defending was part of the game, that''s why we have defenders and a goalkeeper, to help keep the ball out of the net! To cite this as the reason that we won is frankly ludicrous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Cottee Woz Ere . . . 0 Posted March 24, 2014 [quote user="grefstad"]As much as I want to believe your rallting cry, LDC, I would like to see the Swansea game first. If we get something, after playing well, I am inclined to belive we have finally turned the corner.Chances are, though, that we will be "overrun" by a hungry Swans side, we will play our usual dour away game, Hughton will select Johnson in a defensive midfield 5, and your excuses here will be: "Swans were just to good, support the manager".[/quote]Exactly. You just know we will revert to type on Saturday. Under Hughton, we always do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think in most cases we''re rubbish. I do take your point about Cardiff and West ham though. West Ham were more boring than we were that night. We played all the football but failed to score and then conceded two late goals. However Big Sam knew they''d got out of jail that night and he assured me "Norwich will be fine". If I find he''s lied to me I''ll be after hi...... I mean send Tilly after him[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
