Personally, I find his tactics straight off the schoolyard, and I only thank God we have quality players with Premiership experience, because we are playuing in a numpty league full of third-rate teams.
I don't go along with those who say it is a "class league because 15 teams are capable of getting promoted" ... that is because Newcastle and Albion (possibly Forest) are streets above the rest!
Have we bought well this January transfer window ... or have we picked up third-rate players from the 'Bargin Bin'?
Mike Williamson was one of Hughton’s key January signings - along with Fitz Hall, Wayne Routledge, Danny Simpson, Leon Best and Patrick van Aanholt – and he has been impressed by the calibre of the players.
Mike Williamson: “This is a massive club and everyone knows the aim for the season. The club has shown its determination over the last few days in the transfer market and they are setting their stall out.
“You want stability in your life on and off the field.
“I just wanted to be playing – some players are the opposite of that, they will pick up the pay check and do not care about playing. I just want to play as many games as possible.
“It was difficult at Portsmouth. They were good, they were getting on with it and they are coming together as a team. They are cracking on - I hope they stabilise and stay up. It was difficult, but at the end of the day we did get paid.
“It was tough not playing, but it was just one of those things. I had not played for five months and have now have played two games in four days. I am finding my feet and I am going to feel stronger the more games I play.
“I have a nice rest now until tomorrow, but the games come thick and fast in February.”
