    I wish he’d proven me wrong Rog, but things have only got worse since.

    just not been excited to go this season. I think, mentally, I never forgave him for Carlisle.

    excited about what a new manager could do with the group though. We have untapped potential with wingers, going more direct and getting balls into the box. We have failed to use our pace men under Hughes. I think we are capable of much better under a manager who understands L2

    I think it's all over, but Sparks has to have the guts to call Hughes into his office and explain - while Hughes completely disagrees - that's it time.

    I'd understand Hughes' position, because it's only 2 league defeat in a row... but that's not the problem.

    Awful performance against Grimsby and Harrogate where our massive squad looked like a complete waste of money.
    Out of the cup (fair enough).
    Shocking defeat to Walsall, and a loss against an abysmal Tranmere side who didn't even play well.

    Sorry, Mark, even if you think it's harsh (like Derek Adams thought his dismissal was harsh), it's not.

    a fitting epitaph to an amazingly average manager given his overall footballing career.

    If you’ve listened to any Hughes post match interview after we’ve lost,tonight’s is just the same.

    Word for word.

    You know when Derek Adams uttered the immortal words…..


    He might have been right. Mark Hughes is equally arrogant, thick skinned, boring and competent as DA!

    I sensed that as well, listening to raynor. They normally latch onto any slight positive to spin, but even he questioned if MH’s time was up.

    they must have been fed something!

    to be fair to him changing managers hasn't worked. He will find it hard to come back from here, this season has been pretty shambolic from the very first game and the sending off and defeat.

    As much as I am not convinced abut Hughes, i'm not convinced we would recruit anyone better

    We all should be worried the position we are in,that second half again was really poor and we made a poor tranmere team look half decent.

    I have a feeling there will be some very disappointed Bradford City fans tomorrow I don't think we'll sack him.
    Just a gut feeling.

    How many of the “injured” players will all of a sudden be fit for a new manager?

    Yes and my guess is that Smallwood is not putting it in for the team. There is something about him I don’t like. He will be livid on being dropped from the team and captaincy.
