    now we know why Hughes had no offers all those years. Every other team knew he was crap.except us. even i was fooled by the big name. I will be amazed if he gets us anywhere near promotion.

    We’ve been the better team this half and Macdonald’s introduction has allowed Odour and Smith get into the game much more. But you can’t legislate for errors like Smallwoods just there - just not good enough.

    Too many passengers at the moment. Serious need to dig deep and step the F up.

    This is appalling and Hughes needs to drop Smallwood in fact if I never see him in a city shirt again it will be too soon.

    Stubbs was poor for it too.

    Just stood there and watched them score. Pathetic. He can leave now for me.

    Mark Hughes is a stubborn Pr@ck - I was sat with Critchlow at the POTY awards and he said that Pierera was on Fire in training last year and Hughes just wouldn’t pick him. Sounds like it’s similar with Young - he holds a grudge And won’t pick certain players he doesn’t like.

    You have to be professional and not hold grudges - select players on form.

    HUGHES OUT!!!!!!!

    Yeah that was as bad as it gets. This whole strategy of Hughes stinks at the moment. Feels like one huge unorganised mess.

    This is bad. Not a knee jerk reaction, just an observation about how slow, lacking drive, creation, intent, desire, skill, formation, game plan, passion we have.

    I'll back him until he fails, thanks all the same.

    Trust me: the next manager will be worse.

    Problem is we are just not slow enough for Hughes liking. If we can just be more slower his plan will work. Probably

    It doesn't need to be. Plenty of options, but we don't have the calibre of leadership at the very top of the club to make the right call.

    Sadly we will be stuck with Hughes for a while yet, it is his squad after all but just maybe he will ditch the back three and go with his best players in their right position-
    We shall see

    Asking Sparks for a quality replacement will be as successful as wandering into a lion's enclosure at the zoo and asking for a piece of the meat.

    Not getting carried away. 4 points from the first 4 games you need to expect some disquiet. I'll keep my thoughts to myself until October.
