Why why why??? Current Squad? Don't we all agree that Houghton has strengthened it

at least defensively anyway.
So if we have a better squad now, why will finishing lower with less points this season be

"a far bigger achievement than anything Lambert ever did."

I just do not understand why so many people are determined to insist this.

        Except he does as we scored more points in the second half of each season he was here. He (NCFC) - megson, Apr 4, 18:19:53
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Apr 4, 20:02:38
