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!

Les has been fired. I can appreciate that.

Roster

Hughes distancing himself from the summer signings in an interview with Blackmore...

Blackmore has liked a reply highlighting the ‘today’ in his his ‘no more departures today’ comment. Suggests more to follow.

The DE saying he hasn’t but maybe they’re not up-to-speed on developments? Blackmore also saying no further departures expected....today...

It’s going to be one-sided to the extreme. A united fan base for once.

Long hat-trick

The clubs latest tweet is going down well Act quick to 'secure yours' !

Yes, maybe it was harsh but the trend was there. His 18 month pursuit of McCann, who turned out to one of our worst signings, was an indication that his judgement was in question. We won only one of his last 8 games with us before departing with his Harry Redknappesque excuse of a bad hip. His heart wasn’t in it and it showed in the teams performances. The decline continued and we finished 12th although Sturrock was a big part of that.

It’s got absolutely nothing to do with being PC. It’s about respect.

WGS' last season with us was awful in just about all areas.

Yes you've posted that elsewhere and it didn't stack up then either. Of course it's subjective but you could argue we have replaced like-for-like but the bottom line is they haven't been of the same quality. For Pelle you have (eventually) Carillo. For Vic we already had Romeu. For Virgil you have Hoedt and Vestergaard. For Mane you had Boufal. Largely similar types of player just cr@p.

And therein lies the problem. We have issues throughout every element of the club. We have systemic problems not isolated fixable problems.

Thank God they've got no one else to come in and replace him.

Drop PEH and replace with Gunn (as well as McCarthy).

Les, Ralph and Ross have been given fairly significant funding and support but the players they have brought in have not been up to the job. I won't bore you with the list but we have multiple players in the £15-£20M purchase price bracket that are either out on loan or not getting into the starting 11 as they haven't been good enough. How is that the owners fault?!

Puel was the master at this. Hughes is just an apprentice. #teamtombola

We have made exceptions (depending on the definition of young / old). Pelle, Pied, McCarthy

Pretend you’ve got cancer, seriously? Not that I think he benefited financially anyway. Wasn’t it just attention seeking? A sorry state of affairs whatever the motivation was.

It’s really not.
