    He's 2 years in. We're playing exactly how he wants and its 100% his squad.

    Its strange, especially as he was talking of more attacking football this season, but reverts to type from the off.

    If he thinks this style is attack minded, I'm lost for words. It's awful to watch.

    He won't see the season out in my opinion.

    Then play to the players strength and dont ask something they are not capable of. Its as easy as that,

    Its probably due to his managerial career being at clubs who were often underdogs?

    Blackburn were an exception, but Man City were a nothing club back then and then stoke, fulham, southampton, the remit was survival first and then kick on for top 10 if you can.

    its a long time since he was at a club asked to go of the offensive!

    This is a rotated Accrington side that bookies have to be mid table at best. The signs from our opening 2 games aren't great.

    Gone before Christmas. Fans won’t let him see in the new year if we don’t change

    It is reminding me of City under PP early in the 12/13 season.
    Boring to watch and creating nothing.

    If we persist with the three centrebacks and utilising wing backs, then we need to sign a RWB and a LWB. Neither Halliday or Ridehalgh are good enough as wingbacks. Fullbacks, they're fine! But the provide no goal threat at all

    Defensive wing backs
    If he wants to attack play Gilliead or Odour as wing backs

    Gilliead provides no goals or assists and it's bizarre we offered him a new deal

    I do find it odd that neither Smith or Derbyshire are given a run out late on,

    Freshness?

    Only 2 subs used, neither with a goal in them, really going for it Mr Hughes.
    My patience is wearing thin already

    Apparently we are going to give the cups a right good go this season. It's utterly bizarre.

    Would imagine they could take a penalty as well or is AG the spot kick king

    I hope I'm wrong and we improve but I agree.Hughes has had an extended honeymoon period which is in danger of ending rapidly.
