Well that does it for me, He has been quick to record a video of his aftermatch views following all matches this year, however in true Fergie style, didn't after the embarrassing maulingt at Spuds.
This in my mind shows clearly that the performance was inexcuseable and he knows the blame must be placed at his own door.
Generally he talks a good game, but the team selection along with some weak and unworkmanlike personal performances by several players reflect very badly on Hughes ability to motivate.
Adebayor has allowed his workrate to lesson to such a degree he is in my opinion not worth a starting place. I have serious doubts about his temperament, which is likely to stand in the way of any possitive reaction from him anytime soon.
If there was any game where the opportunity was there to blood weiss for his first full game without fear of any criticism, it was against Spuds, but Hughes, unlike Eriksson, couldn't see the woods for trees. Weiss would without doubt have at the very least given a garuantee of a hard working ethic, in a chance to really impress, but instead Hughes on a cold wet and dismall away trip, chose Robinho?
I have not been ready to jump on the Hughes out bandwaggon, preferring to wait and see if his apparent lack of tactical nouse, may show signs of improving, but enough is enough.
I am now satisfied that we can only keep giving Hughes our full support if the next 6 games are all filled with performances showing a winning ambition and signs of a real upturn in our results, but I feel it's more likely to be a case of just more of the same.
I know many blinkered Hughes supporters will refute much of what I am saying, but if that's how they feel, fine, but at least explain what it is you disagree with and justify your responses.
To me he is nearing the point of no return, and any possitive constructive insight as to why he should remain at the helm would make interesting reading.
