[twranger]

It has a K in it!!

well dont you've passed the test my friend

[lymehoop]

facto pretty well spot on imo, not saying Hughes will get the boot but all close season fans have been screaming out for a CB and saying our defence is leaking like a sieve

[MattyRangers]

Must say, I hold Hughes responsible for the defeat yesterday. Poor tactics, and that's more worrying than a poor performance.

That being said, he didn't become a bad manager overnight. We need to give him time. It's a bad day at the office, but we have to stick together now more than ever.

I tell you if we had a proper holding midfielder and Bobby Z playing yesterday we'd have won by a big score yesterday.

Well said that man.

Will 1 point out of the first 15 be enough for the fans?

1st game of the season. And we get this thread?!

Thing is, the writing was on the wall pre-season. A few people on here consistently questioned the business we did over the summer, so it isn't a question of hindsight. GK and CB are key, key positions and not to have addressed them by 3.00 yesterday does seem a tad inefficient. Hughes should be judged in exactly the same way Warnock was over the next couple of months. But for contractual reasons that wont happen...

Will 1 point out of the first 15 be enough for the fans?

For me, personally, no way.

So some think that Hughes having spent god knows how much,... installed Mike Rigg along with his coaching staff and various scouts should be gone by Christmas? Then what? Oh let's get Harry Redknapp in, and I hope Tony does the decent thing and backs Harry properly in the window, otherwise what's the point in hiring him, and tying his hands behind his back?
This is unsustainable we'll have a squad of about 50 players on prem wages that we can't get rid of and back to square one with a new squad and a manager trying to get over his ideas

[Will M]

Let's not forget that after the Chelsea mauling Hughes came up with a plan to nearly derail Manchester City.

[hal9thou]

So some think that Hughes having spent god knows how much,...

Dave, powers that be were larging it the other day on the basis of how little they'd actually spent....

The proof of the pudding is on the pitch. Let's see how matters progress.

Nope and I would guess TF might start to doubt him

yeah I saw that fair enough, but we still have what?.... a dozen players here now because of Mark Hughes? All managers have their own favourites

Many years ago Alex Ferguson was a cup final away from getting the sack. Had he lost that he'd have been gone. He didn't and Man Utd proceeded to become the most successful club in the English game. For his endeavours he was knighted.

MH is rebuilding the club from top to bottom and all that takes time. Although at times, like many, I've questioned his tactics, but he's the football man not any of us. I'm sure he'll get it right soon. We just need to be a little patient. I think we're just a few players short of having a superb squad. Maybe MH has tried to get certain players in but they wouldn't come. Remember the saga over Alex last season?

Time for cool heads guys.
