Have to concur with this entirely.

Adams has had to try to cobble together a workable team from the mess hughton left behind. Correctly, he identified that the hopeless one had signed strikers that were entirely unfit for purpose. Having watched Sunderland scrape a lucky win, complete with shocking penalty award at a champions league obsessed Chelsea, taking all the sycophantic plaudits from the chuckleheads that infest our screens masquerading as pundits, it is rather annoying to see people rewriting history and comparing our display yesterday against a fully loaded Chelsea needing to win to go top with a week to go to that fluke win. The without the luxury of a forty million pound striker on the bench, we had no choice but to keep it tight and try to nick it at the end. Snodgrass and Redmond so nearly delivered this at the end. Fine margins indeed. As snodgrass bore down on goal, collecting a surprisingly niche perfect ball from Redmond in his stride, did you really think 'if only this was Ricky or hooper'? Me neither. I reiterate, hughton would have had absolutely no idea how to pick a team, motivate it, and set it up to take anything from Chelsea in the prevailing conditions. The proof is there over two seasons of his crap. Give Adams credit, he has had no transfer windows to work with and is ploughing through wreckage trying tomresuscitate a dead patient. Some of hughtons wretched apologists give the impression they were desperately praying snodgrass didn't net that chance or Johnson's later header didn't sneak beyond Schwarzer, to prove their man was best.
