Took over club drifting towards the drop zone; kept them up

then play off final, 8th place, and 1st place. Last day of the season in the premiership. All went downhill then.

Hughton, took over Lambert's side, did very well to keep us mid table with a reduced points tally, spent 25 mil and the side collapsed.

  - that's a different point (n/m) (NCFC) - Dirty Delia, Apr 26, 19:44:23

        Because we played well and lost (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 26, 19:51:03
        
        we played well when we were already 2-0 down (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 19:55:11

        have to agree to disagree - always felt we had a chance of a point or 3 at home (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Apr 26, 19:53:33
        
        and it was the same on the day against Liverpool? (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 26, 19:55:30
        
        I and I think most were baffled with how we set up & it ultimately cost us (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Apr 26, 19:57:43
        
        Well, I don't deny I was unhappy with Adam's appointment. (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 26, 19:59:36
      - That's a prediction. You can't state that you know the future (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Apr 26, 19:45:47
  - You genuinely don't know that. If it makes you happier thinking it, or thinking you'd know (NCFC) - pants, Apr 26, 19:39:39
    - completely agree - the only thing we know for sure (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 19:41:38

        we didn't go 2-0 down at home all season under Hughton (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 19:44:44
        
        firstly that is not true, and why is it doubtful Liverpool would have stuffed us (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Apr 26, 19:45:45
        
        exactly (NCFC) - bullsch, Apr 26, 19:48:03
        
        i think it's doubtful because (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Apr 26, 19:47:17

    - We all knew Adams only chance was to beat Fulham (NCFC) - Ben, Apr 26, 19:41:30
