'After pressure from the fans'. If this is really the reason then he's probably the

weakest manager in the country. You make it sound like we were at him with pitchforks. Nothing to do with the awful results we'd seen away from home for the previous 18 months?

Do you go to away games? I do. Where did this huge pressure to change come from - such a pressure that forces a professional football manager to suddenly change his philosophy? Because it wasn't from the stands.

        No, that's your opinion. You or I don't have any idea why he was kept on. (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 3, 18:45:17
        
        of course it's my opinion (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 18:48:00
        
        Everyone WAS right behind him - there was so little pressure on him from the stands (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 3, 18:52:16
        
        disagree with that (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 18:56:41
        
        A negative atmosphere watching Hughton's negative team (NCFC) - phrankin, May 3, 19:02:33
        
        well, that comes down to the argument (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:05:04
        
        and indeed, our away fans were particularly bad right, what with the 14 defeats (NCFC) - phrankin, May 3, 19:07:12
        
        yep - we actually had a reasonable away record in the first half of the season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:10:48
        
        or indeed we just fluked a couple of early results and then fell back to the norm. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 3, 19:12:18
        
        you don't think there was a clear change in tactical approach away from home (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:13:43
        
        did we? Even that West Brom result was a bit of a fluke. (NCFC) - phrankin, May 3, 19:19:11
        
        yes, in the first half of the season (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:25:00

        this is the problem with some fans (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:41:23
        
        But it's true though. For that very reason, you shouldn't bend to the will of the fans. (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 3, 19:49:28
        
        yeah, I guess so to an extent (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 20:05:39
        
        A few pricks on message boards changed the managers away tactics... (NCFC) - phrankin, May 3, 20:13:24
        
        Ok, you're right. I'm wrong. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 3, 18:58:00
        
        that's a bit of a childish response (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, May 3, 19:02:39
        
        Truly? I've realised there's not a lot of point discussing it... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, May 3, 19:09:04
