[Football] Huge game and a huge test for Hughton Saturday

[gripper stebson]

So how will he set us up.

To win the game and all but survive... or to not lose and get a 0-0 and take it to the wire.

....I think we all know!

 

[Uh_huh_him]

He will set up to be solid.
How much we go for it will depend on he Cardiff result.

If They've won we will have to go for the win.
If not a draw will be first priority

 

[B-right-on]

The Fulham Cardiff gamne is on at 3 so we will know the result before kick off. Cardiff win and its a case of 'might as well go for it' because this is realisitically our only winnable game left. Might be forced out of his comfort zone by that result.

 

[hart's shirt]

We'll need more than the 22% possession and 1 shot on target that we had this evening.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Actually i fancy Fulham to beat Cardiff on Saturday. Theyve been playing more freely since they got relegated and won their last two games.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Wasn't the Spurs goal fest a lot of us feared. Shame with such a late goal but we have to move on.

Not to lose, it's engrained in his DNA

 

[NEASTGULL]

And the ref is.....Mike Dean

We won’t win and that’s all there is to it. In fact I might go all out on a limb here and say we won’t score either!!

Let’s get on with relegation, a new manager and a new team. I don’t want to watch this one any longer, it’s embarrassing. We shouldn’t be in the PL, it’s not in our DNA and has been the most hopeless, predictive football to watch (relative to the division) since 97/98. Can’t wait to get back into the Champ and see some entertainment again.

 

[beorhthelm]

has to go out to win. result at Fulham may determine how much.

 

[Nixonator]

Norwich sacked him before their critical game vs Fulham, which they lost (a win would have seen them survive).

I guess we will find out on Saturday if they were justified in chancing a dead cat bounce.

 

[Mancgull]

I think it will be more about our mentality than anything. We need to outwork and hassle Newcastle and hope that we can produce some quality. We must score the first goal too, so we won't go gun Ho. the crowd need to get behind the team like never before.

 

[zefarelly]

We've had 2 opportunities to seal the deal, and played like spasticated terrapins witht their legs stapled together.

Then 2 games where we've thrown everything and a B&Q full of sinks at defending, a valiant point and a harsh defeat, in some respects. The crux of the matter, of our football for the last 6 months, is a lack of attacking intent and creativity., no goals and no pressure relief for our defenders.

Having watched that pootube video of CH wandering forward and scoring goals for tottingham (I still hate them) it is clearly not in his DNA to just defend . . . . But he must have a lack of confidence in our players abilities to play like that . . . We could and should play a completely different game on Saturday and surprise Newcastle, they're not that good and Rafa ain't the sharpest tool in the PL box either.

My biggest fear is Cardiff lose and we don't nail it home .. . .thats most likely in my humble opinion.

Another cup final! How many do we need?

Not if we score with that one shot, and defend like we did tonight!

Well, apart from disagreeing with every single word, what a great post!

But will have to name the team before the final whistle in the Cardiff game

1-1 then? Don’t think that will be enough.

Yeah, like tonight (7 players started who most thought wouldn't). We know nothing.

 

[GT49er]

1-1 then? Don’t think that will be enough.

I'd take that now, especially if Cardiff had already lost!
