Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

Can't blame everything negative on the manager for fucks sake, there are somethings out of his control. The amount of bile being spewed Hughes' way is a joke. The way we came back each time shows real grit and determination, especially after being harshly sent down to 10 men.

This kneejerk reactionism is blind.

No but I can blame him for not recognising that Kompany is not a DM not in a million years and leaving him out to dry for at least 30 minutes longer than he should. I can blame him for playing Barry who has looked out of touch for some time including the Chelsea game. And I can definitely blame him for the training our defense gets. They have trained together every week, 5 days a week for 4 months, cost a fortune and our defense is worse than the one we had under Pearce.

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

For all you inners, i admire your acceptance of mediocrity. Cus we will win f*ck all with Hughes in charge.

How is top 6 and first major semi in 28 years mediocrity??? guessing by your logic Spuds fans should be calling for the spiv to be sacked after getting beat by Wolves or Chelsea having dropped 5 points in the last 2 games should send Carlo Ancelotti packing back to Italy???

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

Their also not given out this early in the season

But titles (and in our case) top 4 spots are lost this early in the season.

And my fear is that come the end of the season we'll be looking at games like this and think they were the ones that will cost us a top 4 spot. It's just so frustrating to think where we could have been, I just hope this is our blip because we could have had a real gap on the chasing pack that could have been essential later in the season.

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

Oh and welcome back hughes outers. Where have you been for the last 2 games?

Did you expect criticism of the last two performances?

When we get poor performances and poor results there will be criticism, when we don't there won't.

And this was unquestionably a poor result (won't comment on the performance)

Every team has poor performances over a season. Calling for the manager to be sacked every time we don't win is just pathetic.

Beaten just once all season, semi-final in Carling cup. We are progressing - not just as fast as the spoilt little babies would like.

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

Still here.

I can gaurentee you mate that at the end of the season, medals and trophies are not given out because we beat Arsenal's kids and Chelsea one week!

Their also not given out this early in the season

No, but they can be won or lost!

Im a Hughes outer but how about this. Not much wrong going forward and im convinced that the defenders at the club are good one's. How about Bowen out?

Something is not right and someone isnt doing their job. If Hughes is a man that will not settle for second best, maybe he should do what needs doing and look at changing his backroom team?

Wont happen though will it!

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

So I take it that all you inners are happy with a point from the 2nd from bottom team who only managed 17 goals in 14 games before today. It sounds as though that level of performance is acceptable to you. I rather hoped when ADUG came in we would be winning something.

When you put it like that, HUGHES OUT!

BUT, one offside goal and a red card that shouldn't have been changes it up a bit.

If anything, we don't so much need Hughes out, as we do a good defensive coach in. We'd probably be top of the league if our defense weren't so shit.

Give Hughes the rest of the season, see how January goes and the cup run.

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

Seemed to be one of those games where we had nothing going for us - the offside, defenders scoring from 25 yards, Bellamys sending off, being kicked all over the park... but despite all that I felt it was actually a decent performance from us. Created lots of chances, some excellent passing, showed character to come from behind 3 times. Bitterly disappointed to have not come away with three points sure because we shoud be picking up win more often than not against these teams, but I think some perspective is needed from some folks in the thread.

Still firmly in the Hughes In camp.

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

As you are so eloquent perhaps you could explain that defensive performance

First goal was blindingly offside, and the second goal was just outstanding. The third one was down to Ireland, who wasn't a defender the last time I looked. Perhaps you should go and support Liverpool; their forums are full of 'fans' like you.

Thats because they enjoy playing well and winning games. Especially against relegation fodder

Re: Any Hughes inners left after that?

All of us are unhappy at not winning, but any City fans not proud on their teams performance (yet again) today are a bunch of jokers, and have no idea what it is to support their team.

well, the carling cup semi final is something, but the unbeaten run is a bit of a red herring. today wasn't a disaster, but, really, the only progress that means anything is looking like a balanced, organised team, and I just don't see it.
