Last year we were not good enough. It wasn't Houghtons team but he git the defence sorted so we had a 10 game unbeaten run. We survived. This year we have spent big and brought in quality. No criticism there Hoots knows a good player. He was the same at Newcastle BUT now he knows we need to progress like Swansea and Southampton have done. He can't park the bus like last year. He has to show with HIS team that we can dominate and win a game. We can't. The players are trying hard for him but it is not working. He can coach defence but attack has him struggling. He has no plan B and cannot react during a game to recognise when plan A needs to change. He got booed yesterday by taking off Hooper who was doing really well and bringing on Elmander who has yet to demonstrate his striking ability. The crowd recognised Redmond was needed and should have come on when Cardiff brought on more defensive players. The frustration is he gets there but 20 mins too late to change the game.
