I think I’d give him at least until the end of the window!

Excuses!

SA.

That’s literally what you’ve been doing ad nauseum in relation to Chris’ management.

Yeahhhhh?  Like the posts blaming Hughton for results that Dane OWNs?  Ad nauseum.  It's ok as long as you are the one complaining, eh?  Blaming the manager for Forest's problems is like blaming Santa or the Tooth Fairy.

And just how many outfield permanent signings does Chris have to his name last Summer or this Summer?  Go on, I'll wait. :P

I'll spot you Cafu.  (Nope.  He was a loan from Jan made Permanent.  And was he a Hughton player brought in?)

SA.

Right now with Colbackward and Yates we don't have that. Jack's default is to play it back or sideways often without looking forward and Ryan just can't pass very well. It's either an inability or unwillingness to play the ball to our front 4 but even more dire than this is that we are set up in a way that hinders progressive passing. Yesterday when Mighten, Taylor or anyone in the front 4 tried to press, our DMs were playing so deep that Stoke could exploit huge gaps in the middle of the park.

It is this lack of cohesiveness between the lines that is the most disappointing and it's not a new thing. I expected much more from a seasoned manager like Hughton.

I hear what you're saying.

But do you think Hughton really wants to play Yates and Colback together?  We know it.  He knows it.  Who else has he got right now?  Well, we've signed Garner with rumours swirling about more coming in.  And I think Garner will...make that difference.  But we don't have Krov'.  And I don't think Car or Brennan are the no.10s who can hold it up though.

We only have to go back to last season and the successful combination of Cafu and Garner.  They worked?

SA.

Not sure if he really wants to or not but I get what you're saying. At this point Fornah may not be the worst choice. At least he can pass a ball. I'm not sure if we set up with our DMs so deep by design or they do it on their own. Either way, Hughton should have addressed it because it isn't working.

Addressed it how?! This attitude is so frustrating, he could've picked Fornah but we already look like we have too many kids in the team, plus if its anyone like Johnson he'd be abandoned after a few average games.

He just had to wait for the Garner deal to go through, I'm sure he was even more frustrated than the fans. The delay on Garner along with the lack of left back has basically cost Hughton his job.

Can we put this one to bed

Blackett is out injured until at least September anyway, then asked to leave for MLS
Ribeiro was out of contract and never had the slightest intention of coming back here.
Ioannou, something has clearly broken in terms of the relationship between him, CH and the club, who's fault we dont know but he isnt coming back.

None of them were “allowed to leave”.

The performance he gave at at Preston last season was one of if not the worst performance I have ever seen from any left back ever in a red shirt. He's gone and he was for the most part S**t so can we all get over it.

A new left back will be signing soon enough.

Was he better than the left back that wore the shirt on Saturday Sniff?
