Yes - and those concerns have been answered.

The management of the club were responsible for a bewildering, incomprehensible appointment last time out, leaving Hughton in for too long and getting rid of him at a mad time, etc etc. But now the management of the club have done something bold, brave, ruthless and out of the box: in a very good way.

On Saturday night, Creo wrote that at times during the game, it was as though Hughton had never happened. I didn't just take from that that it was like being back under Lambert. The point is that in making this move, the whole ethos of the club has changed. The ruthless drive which we exhibited during Lambert's time - exemplified by McNally too - seemed to have completely vanished in the years since. I think it's back now. That's what excites me so much.
