That Mick Dennis article..some good debate, no doubt some fans need winning over but

I take what he writes with a pinch of salt..he's so far behind whatever the club does its embarrassing and his backing of Roeder was laughable. But Hughton is not Roeder, he is a very good manager and coach and a perfect fit for us currently. He was left with players that were not going to keep us up and our defence was poor, he had a budget and has spent it remarkably well mainly on improving that defence and what a great job he has done too. Now I guess when we stay up he'll add quality in midfield and up front, then we will see his team, the current one is not and he's making do.
