how much credit does Hughton deserve for the tweaks he made at half time

for example, closing the space between defence and midfield, allowing the central midfielder to push further forward?

  - so if we settle for a narrow defeat like saturday it's ok (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:07:52
    - depends on the performance and events during the game. (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 25, 13:36:50

        no. (NCFC) - Pit, Nov 25, 14:03:25
        
        not neccessarily...... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 25, 13:41:01
  - If we concede 5 goals at home to Palace (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:07:20
    - thats your opinion. (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 25, 13:37:31
      - Eight-year contract (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:57:57
        
        ? (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 25, 15:02:40
        
        It's just all fucking ridiculous (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 15:23:28
- decision should not be made (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 25, 13:01:18
- Oh look, it's West Ham all over again, how refreshing (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 12:38:48
  - Oh look its a Sunday afternoon (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 25, 14:05:18
  - but it is going to be this way, if we beat Palace and then get stuffed at Liverpool it (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 12:41:53
    - which is absolutely ridiculous of course (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 12:42:59
      - what beating Crystal Palace is unrealistic expectation, if it is we really (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 12:44:31
        
        Beating Palace isn't unrealistic, but heaping pressure on our manager after a narrow loss (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 12:49:39
        
        Pants I presume you like Hughton as a manager, I was just wondering (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 12:59:45
        
        I think long term he brings total stability and quality. Where people see no fight (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 13:05:20
        
        I crave long term stability, I just don't think it happens to often these days. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 13:21:21
        
        It should at a club like Norwich, and how we ended up in League One should be remembered (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 13:45:25
        
        That is true. But, we not playing anywhere near as well as the squad suggests on paper. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Nov 25, 14:06:15
        
        what knee jerk reactions sent us to league one? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 14:10:55
        
        you know the answer (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 25, 14:14:19
        
        Drunk on a Monday lunchtime already? (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 14:20:04
        
        haha (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 14:16:37
        
        How did our league position change in signing Earnshaw (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 14:19:11
        
        I agree with Pants. Yes, we are pretty crap at the moment (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 25, 14:35:43
        
        not sure how you can have long term ability with a shit manager lol (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 14:38:24
        
        "shit" is objective (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 25, 14:40:14
        
        cue a load of pointless stats to back up a pointless remark (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 14:43:01
        
        subjective obviously (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 25, 14:41:10
        
        stability (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 14:38:46
        
        Buying Robert Earnshaw for 3.5m when we had one of the worst midfields and a crap defence (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 14:13:16
        
        this has all been debated several times, but here are a few reasons (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:04:00
        
        we hardly outplayed Stoke West Ham, or Southampton. (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:05:31
        
        defo didn't outplay saints! (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:09:01
        
        First half against West Ham was dreadful (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:10:06
        
        yep the worst first half at home i've ever seen (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:10:50
        
        pants moans at everyone for doing (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:00:50
        
        cock (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 25, 13:07:16
        
        Pressure has been built by not beating Cardiff or Villa or Hull, if (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 12:54:57
        
        Exactly, i'm afraid that (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 25, 13:06:44
        
        vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:09:52
        
        but you are assuming here that our away record can't and won't improve (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:09:28
        
        It won't unless we change our tactics and formation - see my review of Sat below! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Nov 25, 13:40:20
        
        agreed.. but i think we are changing.. albeit slowly (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:43:35
        
        I'm assuming that because this season we have already (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 25, 13:12:56
        
        We do keep the ball OK at times, BUT (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:12:49
        
        yep no creativity whatsoever (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:15:14
        
        it reminds me of Southampton at the end of last season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:15:04
        
        Their whole game plan is based on pressing the opposition (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:16:35
        
        Spot on Dukey, was the same on Sat; didn't press when we didn't have the ball..... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Nov 25, 13:44:29
        
        that's something we definitely need to be better at (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:20:03
        
        Are you sure you are watching tha same team as most of the rest of us! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Nov 25, 13:45:47
        
        I guess people see things differently (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:48:43
        
        We aren't doing anything well enough to win away games..... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Nov 25, 13:51:22
        
        what exactly are we doing well? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:49:29
        
        we've been through this already (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:50:32
        
        losing away from home? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:53:51
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:47:06
        
        what games are you watching... we sit back in the vast majority of games (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:22:44
        
        Hughton has specifically said you can't do that in this league (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:21:26
        
        When did "pressing" become such a cutting edge tactic (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 25, 13:29:38
        
        it's all about pressing as a team (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:37:29
        
        Spot on for once, so we don't press and we aren't organised to press as a team - CORRECT! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Nov 25, 13:49:48
        
        well, you obviously don't think so (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:51:50
        
        Like the Man City game, we let 'em have possession up to our penalty box... (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:31:20
        
        And Spurs. I could have looked world class in the spurs midfield that day (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 25, 13:36:08
        
        Eriksen said after the game, he couldn't believe how much space he had (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:40:17
        
        I missed it if he said that.. perhaps he has changed his approach since then (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:26:43
        
        No, that was quite recently (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:27:49
        
        do you have a link anywhere? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:28:49
        
        It was against West Ham (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:30:37
        
        ah ok.. well that's slightly different (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:35:47
        
        well... clearly pressing was the way to go because we were total dogshit in the first half (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:38:35
        
        how much credit does Hughton deserve for the tweaks he made at half time (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:39:54
        
        he made some decent tweaks for once. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:41:24
        
        we started the 2nd half shit so not much! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:40:25
        
        really it was the gift goal that changed the game (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:42:16
        
        indeed (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:45:16
        
        No, I don't (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:29:44
        
        ROLF (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:10:06
        
        we've not picked up any points against the big 6 this season so far (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:00:10
        
        Everton? (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 25, 13:02:24
        
        he said big 6... (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:03:19
        
        Everton or Spurs... We should probably be talking about a big 5 (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:04:24
        
        everton could well finish above spurs (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 25, 13:06:41
        
        SPurs ManC ManU Arse Liverpool Chelsea were my big 6 (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 25, 13:03:01
        
        no, that obviously isn't unrealistic (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 12:46:43
        
        I agree, I expect Liverpool to hump us, but it's a legacy of previous matches (NCFC) - lovely old job, Nov 25, 12:49:23
        
        But should he go if we lose to Palace? (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 12:48:27
        
        I don't know, but it could be difficult for him to stay I think (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 25, 13:00:59
        
        OK (NCFC) - duke of york, Nov 25, 13:08:25
- Yes (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 25, 12:37:40
- If we don't beat palace he will go I reckon (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Nov 25, 12:34:49
