Because they don't fit into his sytem

the system that has produced far worse results this season.

Whose fault is it for fixing what wasn't broken?

Build the tactics around the players, not the other way round.

You also have to consider the fact that he has dropped players (Bennett, Hoolahan) when they've had good spells in the starting XI. Hughton's management is quite frankly bizarre at times, so I wouldn't assume that he is a perfect judge of talent either.

    - In what sense? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 15:42:11
      - Much as I liked Tierney and Fox last season (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 15:51:39
        
        Tierney 1 leahues start, Fox 2 league subs... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 15:55:47
        
        I'm not judging them, I already know they're both very good, but their (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 15:59:21
        
        We are bloody lucky you were not judging Turner. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:32:38
        
        Very much this, apparently it doesn't matter how they played though (n/m) (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 7, 16:31:46
        
        They didn't really play at all, that's the point. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:35:08
        
        So why can't it just be down to what the manager sees in training? (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 7, 16:37:55
        
        Because they don't fit into his sytem (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:50:51
        
        If that's the case then Turner should'nt have played another league game after Liverpool (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:06:11
        
        you can't give everyone a run of games though, there are too many players (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 16:13:30
        
        We have not even played the same First XI (aside from the injured Ruddy) since.... (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:37:18
        
        Garrido has been terrible since December (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:20:56
        
        obviously, just saying that Hughton probably doesn't think that way (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 16:10:20
        
        Thanks for backing up my point (intentionally or not) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:14:49
        
        oh I agree with that of course. Maybe there's some other reason (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 16:20:41
        
        Exactly (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:25:36
        
        with hindsight no, perhaps it wasn't worth changing the system (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 16:32:22
        
        My issue with the system is that we sit sooooo deep (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:41:34
        
        I thought Tierney was poor (defensively) last season (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 16:21:32
        
        he was our best player pre injury which kept him out for the majority of the season (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:34:15
        
        the ease with which Royston Drenthe (?) beat him (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, May 7, 16:35:43
        
        Again, this is cherry picking one or two incidents (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:45:43
        
        Tierney's stats are almost identical to Garrido... (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:38:18
        
        Sorry pal, Tierney's shit and not on Garrido's level... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:43:03
        
        Royston Royston Drenthe (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, May 7, 16:40:31
        
        The general consesus on here was that he was one of our best players. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:27:13
        
        which presumably is why he hasn't been picked again (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, May 7, 16:26:42
      - Moro wasn't great though, he looked disinterested, and seemed to carry this on to Leeds... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, May 7, 15:50:25
        
        Obviously needs a good man manager to get him going then (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 15:56:30
        
        Or he needs to sort his stupidly bad attitude out and realise how lucky he is (n/m) (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 7, 16:29:51
        
        You could view it like that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:33:00
        
        Well Millwall called him lazy and unmotivated most of the season (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 7, 16:36:21
        
        We had a good manager last season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:47:44
        
        and he was poor in games last year, it wasn't a new thing this season... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, May 7, 16:53:50
        
        Still managed to score 9 prem goals... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:17:52
        
        and only 1 in 19 this season for us in the league... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, May 7, 17:27:04
        
        4 league starts.... + 15 5 minute cameos. whoop dee wooo (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:35:09
        
        Only had 4 league starts... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:30:36
        
        2 more than Becchio who replaced him. becchio hasn't even played 180 minutes footy (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, May 7, 17:39:12
        
        Poor Hughton, using all of his resources and getting as much out of them as possible! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:41:53
        
        Just seems like a lazy argument to me, "he needs a good manager to make him not lazy" (NCFC) - mrleelee, May 7, 16:51:10
        
        So you're saying those other managers are on Lambert's level? (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:54:03
        
        If he worked as hard as he could; he'd still be playing for a Premier League team. (NCFC) - lurd, May 7, 17:11:02
        
        Yeah, I agree. Hence why he needs a good man manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:12:54
      - I didn't say he had used his resources well (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 15:48:48
        
        See, this is what I don't understand... (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 15:53:26
        
        I just a lot of our players played above themselves last season (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 15:58:42
        
        Like I said, a lot look out of their depth because they're not being used correctly. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:02:57
        
        that's what I mean about Agbonlahor (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 16:08:08
        
        Nah, I'm not buying that (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:12:09
        
        and I could have probably saved that Snoddy shot, which he scuffed (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 16:22:51
        
        Thanks for backing up my point (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:43:32
        
        Oh come on, a scuff FFS? (NCFC) - lurd, May 7, 17:12:16
        
        It rolled past Bunn, fuckern hell! (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 17:24:28
        
        my argument is that he's an average Prem player (NCFC) - mr carra, May 7, 16:20:41
        
        He's not an average prem player, a record of 1 in 3 is an average prem player (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, May 7, 16:31:53
- At last (NCFC) - Grans_Canary, May 7, 15:25:29
  - Huh? (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, May 7, 16:36:15
