Always makes me laugh. Pompey should/could have had a draw, maybe Wolves as well. We have been lucky in a few games and now it's starting to show.Grand Master Ram Rod said:

Hughes has to go...

He's finally got his side together and it still needs time to gel, we've had loads of injuries so far which has meant a lot of chopping and changing and we've improved on nearly every result from last year. This is our bad patch and we're still getting points so open your eyes and see what actually is happening, get behind the team and the manager.
I agree, and even if Hughes were to go it would have to be at the end of the season unless we are in relegation form. Top6 is the target and we are not doing that bad considering.

anymore than 2sheiks said:My worst fear is that if this slide in form and abject performances continue,our owners might just see the "project" as a pointless exercise and a waste of their money.Hughes bought only players with premiership experience and wasn't prepared to gamble.Some posters are saying "name a manager who could do better".I am asking what gives you so much confidence in the man to suggest he can bring us success.Don't give me "give the team time to gel" bollocks.A centre-back shouldn't need to be told how to play centre-back.
I think we are all still learning, as fans, as a club, as a manager, as a tea lady. Hughes has made some mistakes, the wingers point today an example. Also, where he has laid out defensive formations at home against weaker teams. The players and club also, who did not learn from the previous two results against Fulham at home in past seasons. The tea lady i hear is still using budget Asda teabags from the Swales era, you would have thought with the money in the coffers they would have gone upto PG Tips pyramid bags by now.
I'm happy to sit on it until the end of this season. I think after 2 years, the players brought in and the fact they are proven premiership players would have had enough time to bed in and if it still isn't working, then it stops at the manager i'm afraid. I think changing anything now, or in the next month, won't get us anywhere. But that's just my opinion.
Spot on imo.Grand Master Ram Rod said:The money's gone to a lot of the fans heads it seems, the target for this season was/is top 6, which we currently are with a game in hand + we're the only team to have lost only one game (which shouldn't have been a loss) and we're in the quarter finals of the Carling Cup.

Cheltblue said:The fact is virtually every poster on here agreed that Hughes made some excellent signings, players with true PL pedigree. They were already proven.
All that had to happen then was for the manager to prove himself. He is failing and it is wrong to now blame the players that we all were delighted to get.
im going to jump on a bandwagon and say

Someone with a bit of sanity! FFS HAD we held on we would have been 3 points behind the rags, hardly what I would call dire, some people forget the target laid out by the owners. The likes of Chelsea, Man U have been spending the sort of money we have for 10 years plus, we've had two transfer windows and we all know what a dire point we were starting from.
Just think back to where we were the back end of 07/08 season and before that under Pearse and where we are now. Its like comparing night and day.
I believe it needed this type of investment MINUMUM to have a chance of breaking the top 4 and at the moment its a real possibility.
Admittedly we need to break the run and get a win on our belts and we will be looking up again.

Chelsea have lost 2 and they are top.
Dont get the point posters make that losing 1 game is such a fantastic thing. If we draw every game between now and end of season we will still have only lost 1 game, but be very much lower half of the table.
Grand Master Ram Rod said:the target for this season was/is top 6
Personally I'll find 9th to 6th in two seasons given the resources we have available an embarrassing underperformance.
We need to do better IMO.

I repeat, 11 games, 8 bottom half opponents
