I'd have gone for either Poyet or Curbishley, and said so at the time

Neither would've approached this season as Hughton has.

Incidentally, amid a smattering of constructive posts attempting to debate the game and what I said, there's far more abuse for abuse's sake. Quite revealing, that. "You don't see the game as I did - therefore, you clearly want Norwich to fail!"

No. I want Norwich to succeed. I don't believe we will under the present management team, and nothing tonight changed my view on that at all.
