You're not alone, I agree. We dont need knee jerk reactions, we have to give him time. I've had enough of playing musical managers. I just hope I don't regret saying it.
He has shown repeatedly this season he does not learn from mistakes. Eg today played Clint at LB after the disaster Monday. Persists in playing Park and SWP when they are clearly way off their best now. He got 1 thing right today in playing Adel, but I think we'd have been better off if he'd played for us more earlier.
I totally understand those who want Hughes out, but we cannot do it this 'early' into the season/long term project. A plan has been put in place, and yes its not working at the moment but whats the point in a long term plan if we chuck the towel in so early into it? I couldnt criticise TF if he did sack Hughes, but for me we need to give it a bit more time. I agree we cant leave it until January to sack him (that is far too late) but if say by the end of november it hasnt improved then I wont be able to argue against it. Last year january was too late, we just got away with it. We cant let it happen again if things are not looking good.
Judo I went today It's not working now under Hughes and it won't be working at the end of the season under him either Sometimes you've got to put your hands up and say it was the wrong decision Now is that time
I'm with you on this Judo Give him more time...he has been battling with a defence injury problem We have played some great football but only for half matches...when it clicks and I am sure it will....we will haul ourselves up the table Come on u RRRRRRRRRRRRs
Yap,Yap,Yap................Yappy out now please he is a totally clueless a man (???) who should never manage to get on a forum again !!!!!!!!! Every time you come on here to post you make Victor bloody Meldrew sound positive, OK we get the message, you are a negative thinking person.The sort of person who can never see anything good in anything they look at.
I didn't want him in the first place, but these players are his team. If they aren't playing for him why should they play for Redknapp or solskaejer or whoever. It's not like we're playing piss poor like the run we had with hartford or phart, let's panic around Christmas time not now
We are playing worse than we did under Hart. Hart = 5 points from 5 games Hughes = 22 points from 26 games You have to go back to John Gregory to find a manager with a record as bad as Hughes.
Well based on the fact he's had 10 months to get an away win and has failed I think that's time enough! What would your measure be? When we're relegated? Another few games? At this rate a quarter of the season be gone
It is pretty unfair to add last seasons games to that total - that was a horrible scenario to enter a club at and it wasnt his team. Although even taking them out of the equation he still has a worse record than Hart!
Last season we survived sacking Warnock in January, just. So if by the end of november things havent improved then sack him. That gives us more time, and time to plan our approach in Jan with a new manager.
Then we risk losing 6 points in "easy" homes games against Reading and Saints. The latest it can be done is after Arsenal which really means he should go if we lose to Everton because we have no hope against Arsenal.
Col, for me, I just feel the 'nearly' that is going against us at every turn, will shift in our favour just by the law of averages. I gather Bosingwa missed a sitter at the end to go 3 all. Great pity cos we would have viewed that as some progress. Ultimately, it is not my millions that are at stake. Safeguarding those millions will be what drives any decision re the manager. If they were my millions, I am sure I would have a different view. I don't envy TF's position at all.
