the most concerning for me yesterday wasn't

The fact that we lost away from home to a team that narrowly missed top 4.

Or even the way we set up for a draw from the outset against a team that's just speant ?100mil on new players.

It was the inability of the management team to change things up during the match when things clearly aren't working.

It must be frustrating as hell for the players to be getting a message from the bench that seems to say "we accept this performance, it's all we're capable of, they're just too good."

It would seem to me that as a fan under this management we can hope for about 10/12 games a season where we will do anything other than set up happily to try and not get beaten. Namely home games against teams such as Fulham, Hull, Cardiff etc. I just can't see anything else from this management.

Ultimately 10 wins, 10 draws may keep us up but christ it's painful.

Hope I'm wrong, but I just can't see it. This isn't based on the result yesterday it's just my honest feelings based on the start of the season andnlast seas

        Actually Hoot has the problem. We are just fans expressing our views. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:13:29
        
        much more like ysterday (and I don't mean the result) and Hull. .. (NCFC) - avid_canary, Sep 15, 09:13:11
        
        It was worse than that yesterday, Hoot gave up at 2-0. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:07:50
        
        So what should he have done? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 15, 09:14:04
        
        Hoot did nothing, gave up. And now his fear is your fear of Spurs. Coward. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:21:09

        Hughton is a premiership manager. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:38:42
        
        A little unfair picking on Elmander as other than Bassong the whole team under performed (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Sep 15, 09:28:14
        
        22% aerial duels won, 44% passing accuracy. He had a mare. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:30:56
