I'm torn. I see genuine improvements. I love the zip in or play. The energy. The movement. But its a results business. 6 wins from 27 games is very bad. Even allowing for everything. And generally handy ish games too. He has potentially done as much good as he can do in that he has built a side. I think we need a more pragmatic tactically astute manager. No secret, I've long wanted Hughton. |

Jesus Christ what kind of sicko would want Hughton in charge? Turgid football where we might scrape draws with better teams and get one nils the odd time and maybe qualify for a Euros and get destroyed by the first decent team.
What's the point in that? I honestly would rather try and play ball like we are doing now and just see what happens, sooner or later we'll be a decent team. I am enjoying Kenny's reign more than anything since probably 2002.

Ah come on, thats a sh*t take tbh, a scots team that just spanked Ukraine with 2 PL midfielders and the Scots poty vs our 2 Ch'ship lads and a L1 fella. They were blessed. Parrott not squaring the ball to Knight, the Doherty chance, he f**king Parrott miss! I'd love to see the xg for the game!

Fine margins, Parrott finishes and we possibly go on & win. But 2 defensive mistakes leads to the loss. Disappointing but enough in it to still be encouraged.
Also was a great game to watch.

Eventually, we'll need results. And that means finishing above decent sides in a 10 game group. That kind of result eventually requires some form of pragmatism. I'm enjoying segments of our play. I'm not enjoying the results. 4 points from 5 games. Hes very lucky to have a side as weak as Armenia. We could be staring at relegation otherwise.

Exactly, on paper the Tartan gits should have been winning that every time given the level their players are at compared to ours.

Just seen Parrott's chance again. Got me thinking of his under 21's goal against Sweden when he lobbed the keeper. I thought we had this reliable goalscorer on our hands. Makes it look effortless, etc. Tonight's chance was bread and butter stuff to a clinical striker. My heart sank twice. For the Irish chance missed, and acceptance that Troy is not the 2nd coming. Fook you Robbie Keane.

We're 3 players short of being a real handful of a team, the 3 CB's work we've got bags a of talent there the 3 in midfield is young and hugely promising
we're lacking 2 out and out solid wing backs and a genuine attacking goal scorer |

None of this 'Premier League' midfielder nonsense means anything. Next season it's likely that at least one if not two out of Cullen, Molumby and Knight will be 'PL' players, it won't improve them over night.

I don't think Hughton's heart would be in it. He's never seemed enthusiastic when the subject has been broached.

They won their last 6 games in their qualifying group including a 2-0 win against Denmark. They have 4 four out of 5 in this group. The Ukraine game wasn't really an outlier was it? Losing to us was more of one.

Disagree, he f**k ed up our 2 best chances tonight, he might get the, but he sure as he'll ain't there yet. His touches were hit and miss also, 50 good 50 bad, he's far from the finished article and he is by no means indispensable, we have plenty of other options coming through.
