Greenridge

Let’s hope he doesn’t march out and home never to be seen again.

Let's hope so. It seems like an awesome appointment. Fingers and everything else crossed! Blackmore was saying that we talked to four people about RaHa and they all said we had no chance of getting him!

For most, yes. For some, no chance.

1. Win 2. Win 3. Win 4. Win 5. Win

But what about Puel. You didn't mention Puel. Should he be more Puel-like than the recent managers. Should he change his name to Puel? Do you have any thoughts on Puel?

Their forum makes interesting reading. Striking parallels with this one when he was here. With recent events at the club and some better results he’s got a stay of execution for now but mutterings pretty much all season that he’s been one or two games away from getting fired.

He’s received something like £18m in compo from his sackings at Citeh, QPR, Stoke and Saints. Not bad eh.

Can’t help there but apparently his surname translates to Rabbit Hutch. No joke.

Interesting read. Thanks for posting.

I expect they have.

Strange that no one else appears to have heard this....

Ralph is taking temporary charge. #roster.

So, by that token, he should be commended wrt Ings, Armstrong (and potentially Gunn), no? I’m not defending Hughes, I’m saying be objective with the criticism.

Hughes made it very clear in an interview a couple of weeks back that he had nothing to do with the summer signings. Now whether he was being completely truthful about that we don’t know. We do know however that Reed got sacked and not Hughes so you can read into that what you will.

I didn’t see any fitness issues out there today. We were the better and stronger team and running hard right till the end. The manager can’t influence the concentration of the players. That’s their responsibility. And he didn’t sign any of the CB’s either. Let’s critique Hughes by all means but let’s be objective about it.

And Vestergaard. And Stephens. All three had the opportunity to effect both goals.

It’s nothing to do with protection. It’s defenders not doing, or not being capable, of doing their job.

The three CB’s are, not surprisingly, having a shocker. The rest are doing OK.

Yeah that’s exactly what I said.

Hughes seems to be adopting the Puel Team Tombola approach.

Hoedt will score at both ends and PEH or Lemina (I like to leave my options open) will score a 25 yard screamer as we run out 2-1 winners. Word.

Maybe he’s upset our sensitive Manager.

Not heard that Romeu is injured but he’s not been anywhere near the squad in recent weeks has he?

and Roy Keane. Dream team of Keane and Hughes here we come!
