Would mean a complete change in Hughton's philosophy

Whittaker by himself on the right flank in a diamond to provide width with Olsson doing the same job on the other. Nothing to say that it couldn't work, but it won't happen because that's not Hughton's style...if it was then it would have probably been tried a few times already.

I really rate Wessi, but I could definitely see why he would want to play for Lambert again, knowing that he's willing to mold the team around him, at least in certain games. That's not a dig at Hughton, just the comparison of two very different approaches.

        very true - I think Elmander brings a lot to the team (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 6, 13:13:17
        
        isn't that our main problem? (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 6, 13:38:08
        
        Agree which is ironic considering... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 6, 13:11:46
        
        No that's Hughton (n/m) (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Jan 6, 13:21:10
- I thought Wes played his best football last season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 6, 12:54:38
  - Strongly disagree with that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 6, 13:25:14
    - I think of all the players in our squad (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 6, 13:29:49
      - what a load of rubbish (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 6, 14:16:48
      - He does that, as long as opponents don't bully him out of games. (NCFC) - Arganth, Jan 6, 13:34:45
      - That's clearly nonsense seeing as he's a creative player (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 6, 13:34:36
        
        Yes but an assist is the final pass before a goal. Wes is involved more than that. (NCFC) - megson, Jan 6, 13:40:43
        
        I agree in an overall sense, but for me his play was directed more to the wings (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 6, 13:44:44
        
        I can see where you're coming from, I'd love to see him in the same 11 as GH and RvW (NCFC) - megson, Jan 6, 14:17:17

        ...and I said before, his OVERALL play was fairly similar (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Jan 6, 13:48:47
