    Pleased about Pattison
    Said it from him signing that I think he could make the difference this season.

    Not really happened yet due to injury but I’m still convinced he will come good.

    We cannot lose this, you can tell why they are in the bottom two. Started well here.

    Due to poor positioning… it was unnecessary. 70+ minutes on a yellow

    Looks like he misjudged the ball. His hands were too low.

    Everyone makes mistakes but it was disappointing that no one went to him to pick him up a but and support him. Maybe an indication of the lack of team spirit.

    Would it hurt Hughes to actually look like he’s interested?

    Do you know what, I’m past caring. I don’t care whether Hughes stays or goes. 35 years going to VP. I’m done.

    Manager deserves sacking for thinking he's a centre midfielder

    This is the really worrying thing. If Hughes goes, whoever replaces him will inherit a badly unbalanced squad containing far too many has-beens or never-will-be’s.

    These players accepted defeat tonight.

    Last few mins messing about side to side instead of getting it forward said it all.

    Better players in pre season not even got a sniff. The better players not even in squad or allowed to leave.
    Poor tactics.
    Players not trying.
    Poor recruitment.
    Players downing tools.
    Manager downing tools.

    What a freaking mess.
    The thing is Vlad the Impaler we have a decent team in there... just need someone to come in and get this club by the scruff of the neck and sort out this guff

    Well that was so poor. There were some decent points, but they always fall short. Hit the post, two inches to the left and it’s in. Head to the keeper at chest height rather than down at their feet level. So many missed placed passes. No fluid movement. So slow getting it forward in time added on.
    I despair.

    A summary of Mark Hughes Tenure

    •Played Chapman (a LW) at CAM for half a season an shot his confidence
    •Signed Oliver, when we don't even suit his style of play
    •Signed a bunch of players on 3 year contracts, when half of them havent made more than 20 appearances for the club, combined
    •Bought a bunch of useless wingers last January
    Alienated Jake Young an several others
    •Brought on a CB for our only winger in a Play-Off Semi Final, just to concede from a cross 2 minutes later
    •Parked the bus at home to shit teams
    •Played shit football throughout
    •Signs players on loan an never uses them
    •Plays players in the wrong positions an persists with it
    •Changes formation, only to get rid of the players that are actually suited to said formation (Odusina)
    •Has his favourites who are dog shit (osadebe)
    •Parks the bus when we arent even winning
    •Wastes a shit load of cash on players an then turns them dog shit over night
    •Takes a club from being 3 points off automatic promotion last season, to just above the bottom of the entire fecking football league


    He's had 3 transfer windows, unlimited backing from the club, the fans, upper management, recruitment, the works

    His football puts you to sleep. Passing the ball between defenders for 75% of the game. No urgency, no consistency, no pressure, no willingness to actually attack

    its time to go. Give him his P45 tonight an send him back to Wales. The man is a walking disaster an needs to retire from management
