I think 'looking to play for a point' is a statement open to argument, to be honest.

It's far more, 'have what we hold, don't risk anything going for the win.' We so rarely risked anything under Hughton, and when we did, in my opinion we weren't 'clever' enough to do so - and promptly get hammered. I always think back to Everton last year - the players clearly weren't playing to his tactics at the end - he admitted as much. With hindsight, warning bells rang loud and clear at that point. But it's all history, and only football

One thought about today. (NCFC) - Bungle, Apr 20, 17:23:11
- we've been like that at home for most of the last two seasons (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:26:10
  - We really really haven't been like that at home for two seasons. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 20, 17:27:34
    - agree that in style we haven't been the same (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:28:52
      - Have to disagree there. To concede though, we did HAVE to play like that today (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 20, 17:37:37
        
        we did have some similar performances under hughton (NCFC) - matt in london, Apr 20, 17:49:19
        
        Yep true. That's why I'm being a bit guarded about 'Adams v Hughton' teams - too early (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 20, 17:51:55
        
        given it's hughton's squad and no time to work with them (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 20, 17:54:18
        
        Yep, can only assume that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 20, 17:55:42
        
        Completely agree with most of that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:41:58

        hear hear. (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Apr 20, 17:41:16
      - i can't understand how you can be SO wrong about football under Hughton! (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Apr 20, 17:35:34

        vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 20, 17:39:20
      - erm... that is exactly what we did for the majority of home under Hughton (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:29:57
        
        Actually, I think you do as much as he does (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Apr 20, 17:34:59
        
        OK..... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Apr 20, 17:48:50
        
        how many times were we 2-0 down at home under Hughton? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:51:18
        
        STOP FUCKING DEFENDING HIM YOU FUCKING LOST (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 20, 17:52:44
        
        Sweary Mikey. Differing views are healthy. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Apr 20, 17:54:12
        
        he's losing the plot ;) (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 18:51:18
        
        lol (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 20, 17:54:42
        
        No striker under Hughton's Norwich has been able to score for toffee (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:48:14
        
        we didn't play for a draw at home (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:32:49
        
        oh dear.... (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Apr 20, 17:54:19
        
        You have the most selective memory ever. (NCFC) - Bungle, Apr 20, 17:41:31
        
        we didn't play for the draw in any of those (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:42:57
        
        Don't you remember Hughton's comments after the Everton win last season (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:44:34
        
        was that the one when his substitution changed the game? (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:47:28
        
        Yep, it was the one where he told everyone he "would have settled for that" (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:49:07
        
        I think this underlines how much of a hiding to nothing Hughton was on (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 20, 17:52:42
        
        No, the post match remark was an insight into his mind (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:57:21
        
        HE WAS FUCKING SHIT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Apr 20, 17:53:08

        aside from the whole of last season... where we settled for draws game after game (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 20, 17:39:19
        
        Yup (n/m) (NCFC) - Bungle, Apr 20, 17:43:03
    - Agree completely, Lee. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Apr 20, 17:28:25
