- It was because they had clearly been told (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 15, 11:04:51
  - but surely the only way to string passes together (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 15, 11:10:46
    - Pplaying so deep as we do away from home (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 11:16:03

        sheepy (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:21:57
        
        Actually Hoot has the problem. We are just fans expressing our views. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:13:29
        
        much more like ysterday (and I don't mean the result) and Hull. .. (NCFC) - avid_canary, Sep 15, 09:13:11
        
        It was worse than that yesterday, Hoot gave up at 2-0. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:07:50
        
        So what should he have done? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 15, 09:14:04
        
        Hoot did nothing, gave up. And now his fear is your fear of Spurs. Coward. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:21:09
        
        Answer the question (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 15, 09:30:43
        
        Hughton is a premiership manager. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:38:42
        
        A little unfair picking on Elmander as other than Bassong the whole team under performed (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Sep 15, 09:28:14
        
        22% aerial duels won, 44% passing accuracy. He had a mare. (NCFC) - phrankin, Sep 15, 09:30:56
  - Perhaps he is earmarked for a u21 game... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 15, 08:52:42
- A lot of the players simply weren't doing their jobs though. (NCFC) - lurd, Sep 15, 08:36:46
  - What you do to combat a midfield like spurs is (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 15, 09:26:27
  - like I say this isn't just about yesterday, I really supported Hughton last year and.. (NCFC) - avid_canary, Sep 15, 08:43:15
