As someone said above, they need all the conditions to

be favorable. Home field, good ref decisions, crowd on their side, good tea at halftime, good start to the match. If we survive, emphasis has to obviously on getting more talent, but also some captain material in the side.

  - Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 29, 22:03:22

  - It really does seem that it has that much influence (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 29, 21:59:57
    - Well yes. But did you see how someone like Clive Woodward was treated by Southampton? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 22:03:58
      - Exact (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 29, 22:04:41

        ha! (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 29, 22:09:55
    - Team desperately needs someone to take charge on (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 22:02:11
  - I think it is too late... Our attacking play has been poor since he arrived. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 21:57:24
  - I think you could be right with that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 21:52:02
- Lot of it comes down to basic personality, fear of failure (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 21:45:25
  - Yep it appears they want to play for him, but aren't inspired by him (NCFC) - Yellalee, Mar 29, 21:48:09
  - how does that explain the difference between home and away form (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 21:46:08
    - Hughton has shown himself to be cautious negative manager (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 21:51:52
    - Nope, but success at home feeds on itself, while failure on (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 21:51:39
      - I largely agree, but then how does a team with very little steel (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 21:53:37
        
        As someone said above, they need all the conditions to (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 21:57:24
        
        again, I kind of agree, but against West Ham (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 21:59:59
        
        Exception that proves the rule (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 22:04:02
        
        West Ham gave us a goal, which sparked our excellent comeback (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:06:08
        
        ... (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 22:08:16
        
        Yes, Hughton is responsible for the results on the pitch. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:10:15
        
        Agree about West Ham (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Mar 29, 22:03:48
        
        This is not meant divisively (NCFC) - norway, Mar 29, 21:56:05
        
        I think there's enough blame to go around (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Mar 29, 22:00:32
        
        I agree with that (NCFC) - norway, Mar 29, 22:03:05
        
        Thing is, we all know when we are on the verge of real trouble... (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 21:58:35
        
        it's a possibility, but Hughton's record at other clubs suggsets otherwise (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 21:58:34
        
        The manager signed, picks, and coaches the players. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:01:34
        
        so in that case the manager is 100% responsible for the wins against (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 22:03:43
        
        Yep, he is responsible. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:05:28
        
        No. We have one of the lowest wage bills in the division. We have players who can't do it (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Mar 29, 21:58:07
        
        Maybe we have good but mentally weak players (NCFC) - norway, Mar 29, 22:01:50
        
        meh, we have a far stronger squad than Palace who sit 1 point below us. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:01:09
        
        we don't (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 22:02:01
        
        yes we do, and if we don't, Hughton has criminally wasted our funds (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:04:38
        
        what are you on about? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Mar 29, 22:07:05
        
        Palace have the weakest squad in the league. (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 29, 22:09:51
