Really does know his stuff. As time goes on, becomes more and more clear why we brought him in. I was 1 of the bunch that was pretty pro-Warnock tbh and abit disappointed when he went but I have to admit I'm glad we made the change when we did.

Cant help but think but NW would have just sent the lads out with a motivational speech telling them to get in amongst spurs without any proper "Homework" done on them.

Sparkie certainly the right man for the job, IMO.

i was a little disapointed today. i thought we should have tried a bit harder to get the second goal.i think we should have tried to attack more. maybe brought cisse on at 6o mins. i also thought he should have taken adel off as walker had his number. he should not have been sent off for what he did, but there was a risk that he would get sent off with a lose tackle. in the whole i think mark has been a saving grace at the club and has put together a team that looks like we will stay up

why change whats working.we only have to win 1 nil for all 3 points

[EYR]

stay up this season and under MH and his staff we really could go places as a club. Tactically he is very astute and has made a mockery of our run in by overseeing wins against Spurs,Lpool,Ars when nobody gave us a chance.

[Shania]

Regarding tactics; Against Stoke we have to avoid to many set pieces against (Ricardo Fuller and Peter Crouch´s pressence up front etc). Hence, I hope we will attack more.
Just my take at it, but If need be, I´m sure Mark H. will suss their tactics out.

[stainrodisalegend]

Wd hope against Stoke we will play Cisse and Zamora and go for it but full credit to Hughes - he recognised against these silky passing clubs you have to pack the midfield. One of the few times this season we've been able to take a 1-0 goal lead and sit back and defend it. V impressive.

[MYU]

This is why he was our number one target, the most important buy we have made.

[80sCasual]

Let's just hope we can keep 11 players on the pitch this time, god how many times have i been saying that this season.
