[Football] Chris Hughton: 'It’s a good feeling to be the manager of a big club'
- Thread starter TomandJerry
- Start date
Don’t recall that many of those at championship level. Perhaps he’s taken over a poor team, and needs to get points any way possible.
Bit like us in the PL for the first two years.....

Or like us when Hughton was appointed.
Quite.
The first thing a sensible manager does is make a team hard to beat.

My only concern with that would be that the media would probably go with it - no more Brighton on MOTD, ever, and the likes of SSN and Talksport, which heaven knows are pretty fond of the big six(ish) anyway would no longer have any interest for us at all.

Difficult to disagree, but those last c10 games of the 2015/16 were so uninspiring. Got the job done though. And then things got exciting thereafter.
Seem to recall we had 1 win in 11 and hardly scored at all. It was awful........

I seem to remember just two goals scored in that period too (and not too many more conceded), but that might be explained by the forward options available: CMS, COG, and the only player I've witnessed at the Amex that didn't put a shift in.

Sure. Could swing the other way though, the BBC would probably get left behind with a European super league so, much like they try to push the FA cup these days, they might find themselves with a new look premier league on their hands. Plus, we're spoilt for choice with media these days.
Genuinely think a Euro super league would become quite dull once the novelty wore off though. Would alienate loads of local fans too so might make for a very healthy new national league.
I tend to agree. I would imagine that many Top 6 fans would feel like they were doing the wrong thing. They want to go and see their team play again in England (and Wales) and have no rivalries or history with Donetsk etc.
Anyhow, who are this top 6? They appear to be scattered across the premier league.
I would be delighted if you turn out to be right - sadly I'm not very hopeful though.

Not scored a goal in 4 games...
I saw some Nottingham fan writing that he never thought he would see his team score or make a substitution again. In the 88th minute his day was saved though as CH subbed Lolley for Ameobi.

The situation Hughton finds himself in is similar in a number of ways to the one when he took over at the Albion - a team that had been around the play-offs but had made some bad signing, a few injuries and all of a sudden they're in tbe Championship shit.
3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats is not a bad haul because Forest are seriously lacking in quality. He desperately needs to bring in 3 or 4 players in January because Derby and Wednesday below them could turn things around.

Yeah, probably wishful thinking on my part.

5, but hughton needs time. When he first came in for Hyypia, he had won less points in that half of the season than hyypia did.

Next 3 games
Away at Reading & Norwich
Then at home to Brentford
The Championship as tough as it ever was
Reading v Forest is the early kick off Saturday
Think I might watch that instead of Burnley v Everton
Cheer Chris on

It is worth noting that Forest fans believe that he is doing a good job - and are praising the quality of the football that he has the team playing. Forest have dominated many games for long periods and have been unlucky to lose and draw games - as Pavilionaire said, the Forest squad is lacking quality (and has some injuries which haven't helped) - they are particularly lacking a striker (and I'd say Hughton would have loved to have got his hands on Glenn Murray).
