Change it for what ????? Players that are even worse ????

 

Third choice left back, better to get him having games to help his development

 

Just one post but it's not hard to find others...

 

We can only hope the new guys are decent. Hughes is certainly not happy with his squad and is looking to sort it out. Let’s hope we see a side befitting his standard as a player and manager.

 

So now a player who has played 30 minutes all season is going to take his place lol.

 

Maybe he thought Foulds would improve and kick on-dunno but clearly he is not that happy with him right now.

 

Agree with the first part, first and foremost Foulds was good at his job in defending. Not bad in one on one’s, good at corners due to his height, and generally a steady defender.

Earlier this season he was good going forwards too and put some good crosses over. The modern full back is expected to overlap and be an attacking threat too, and the quality of his crosses in recent weeks has been woeful, Rochdale being a case in point.

I’m sure Hughes sees Bola as a stronger player and let’s hope he’s right.

 

Yeah we need a hard nosed no nonsense Abbot/Kennedy/Jones type in their for sure-would compliment Smallwood I think.

 

Absolutely agree. This is bizarre

 

I totally agree with you - let’s hope Hughes, Hodges and Gent know what they’re doing.

 

Unless he has a cunning plan Lord Blackadder

 

Got to agree - doesn't matter if it's Cook or Oliver in the box if we can't get a corner kick past the first defender, which currently Smallwood can't manage. I can't actually think of anybody in the team that can be trusted to supply a decent corner - Halliday? Chapman? Walker? Looks like we'll be taking them short

 

Pretty strong in the shit club badge position

 

Didn't see that coming. Gotta feel for the lad.

 

It's a tough business. Hughes obviously doesn't see him in his plans for the rest of the season and I suspect we won't see him again. I'd say he hasn't really developed much this season while he has he has been good in patches. I would like to think he has been given the choice to go or stay and fight for his place

 

To be fair Kev, based off this we could loan most of the side out lol.

 

Yes that's probably the case, at the start of the season he looked to have kicked on from last season but seems to have lost confidence going forward. Despite all the doom and gloom about the place we are in a decent position to kick on and I expected to see some changes during January, Mark Hughes may come over as stubborn but he is very experienced and no fool. He actually said at the start of the season that the aim for this season was promotion but it may be next season. Players out of contract at the end of this season plus players like Matty Foulds who he has given plenty of game time to but now feels he needs better.

 

This new left back from Rotherham has a history of being a bit of a sick note. Ridehalgh is also a bit dodgy fitness wise so don’t be surprised to see Gilliead at left back at times this season, but getting rid of a guy who’s rarely injured, has at least two assists this season, would have had one on Saturday had Oliver’s header not been cleared off the line,hasn’t really let us down despite the many fans now calling him poor is Hughes call and he will be judged by this.

 

I’m not Fordy, I have said for a number of weeks he ain’t performing. He won’t be the first!

 

As I said to Fordy a short while ago ….he won’t be the last. I can see another two or three….I’ll keep my powder dry!
