    We are officially in a slump.

    Sort it out Hughes!

    Thought he'd have made more changes, seems like our regular XI just isn't on it.

    Tedious.

    What a poor run of goalscoring this really is.

    These defenders are useless going forward.

    Hughes deserves the season and the start of next season regardless what league we are in but I can sense the morons are turning on him and the players

    Turning on Hughes?

    Definitely not.

    Questioning the lack of changes through poor form?

    Absolutely.

    And questioning the players?

    Well yeah. They're the ones letting us down.

    All we need is a performance.

    Spot on. We should by now be building towards something, but we are not really progressing as a formation at all.

    I don't see anyone turning on either. But there's justified criticism and frustration. Too many of our performances show the same flaws, and we're not getting the level of performance we should given the investment made in the squad.

    Our home form simply isn't good enough.

    Foulds, Platt, Smallwood, and Pereira are bang off form.

    Well, glad I had to work this morning now. Sounds shocking.

    Hughes' negative home tactics let's us down again?

    It's only a cup
    Who gives a ****
    We're super City and we're gonna keep trying to pass the ball sideways and backwards because it's the right way to play despite not being very good at it and looking toothless so we'll end up with another year in League 2 but at least we can blame the referees and time wasting opposition.

    Not sure it'll catch on to be fair...

    What a surprise, yet another poor showing at home. Perhaps we should move to Odsal after all!

    BBC says zero shots on target! Is that correct?

    Embarrassing

    Mark Hughes needs a rocket up his arse. Simply not good enough.

    EIGHTY-ONE minutes to equalise and we can't get a single shot on target.

    I think it's time to give up.

    I can't keep finding excuses for dross.

    I've already seen many "he's a great player but a rubbish manager" posts

    Exactly. We have a good squad and with the return of Walker and a tweak or two in January, we should be capable of getting into the auto spots ....

    BUT notwithstanding our skills within the squad, we lack drive and determination and a desire to win. We are predictable and have been found out by too many opposition teams particularly when playing at home. Hughes seems reluctant to change our style of play even when it can be seen by most to be not working. Having a Plan A as the preferred approach is great. But there is also a need for a Plan B (or even C) when it isn't working or when we need to upset the opposition thinking. That doesn't seem to be part of Hughes' thinking and is becoming our Achilles heel. Hughes and his current tactics shouldn't be beyond criticism if they are not working.
