"when we were at Walsall, we would never have dreamt we'd be in the prem"

This may well be true. But doesn't mean that whatever the manager does now is OK.

Hughton inherited what he inherited, and has spent what he has been given to spend. He now has to be judged against those criteria, not the situation Lambert was in four years ago.
