Some dreadful decisions by the ref tonight, really bizarre 

Brill is atrocious with the ball at his feet 

Better side and creating chances 

yesss cracking goal and no less than we deserved 

Lucky there Tremarco could easily have seen red 

To be the most alarming thing is his most recent interview in todays P&J .

He is going to persevere with his "vision" no matter what.  "I'm in it with the supporters, but I have to put cotton wool in my ears and keep with my beliefs" well Yogi I am afraid not so many of the supporters are with you now.

Another quote " I hear so often about there being no Plan B, well someone tell me what Plan B is? Is it to get the centre half up to him and hope you get the the second ball, no its pass the ball quicker and get moving " So Yogi it appears no matter the opposition, no matter the circumstances, doesn't matter if we are chasing a late equaliser, lets just keep tapping it about the midfield.

I was in the doubtful camp, I have now moved to the lets get rid of the man before he does more damage. 

I turned on the Europa cup quarter final between Lyon and Juventus only to find that Collum is the ref, really!!! how can that incompetent fool of a man get a match of this profile 

There are a few problems with what Hughes is trying to introduce - this is a system which is unknown to ICT fans. We are more used to wingers and playing on the break. Most managers have their own systems and usually try to stick to it. To me Butcher stuck by his system put tried to put square pegs in round holes and had his clear favourites and stubbornly and arrogantly stuck by them. Hughes has his own system and again he is presently having to put square pegs in to round holes. His folly is by changing it so abruptly and he needs to sign 3-4 newbies who fit neater in to his system. At least he has a Plan B but will he use it. He is also beginning to demonstrate who he values and who he doesn't.

Personally I prefer playing with width and the 4-2-2-1-1 system. To play the Hughes way in my opinion requires 6 players who concentrate on defending, two forwards in a combination of target man and pace plus a pacy,mobile in the hole player.

I agree with what you say about Butcher but on the other hand it worked, he got us to a our first top six and we were sitting pretty again this season before he left.

After about 6 months into the final season of Brewsters ill-fated second spell in charge the supporters trust called a meeting over the fans concerns about Brewster, I am curious if CJT are considering a meeting to discuss Hughes? The strength of feeling about Hughes, not only from fans on here but a vast majority I speak to is probably is as strong as it was about Brewster

Butcher

Pele

Robbo

Christie

Brewster

Baltacha

I feel that although it leaves a sour taste in the way he left Butcher was our most successful manager at the highest level.

With regards to Brewster I have just lumped his 1st and 2nd period together as I believe his success in his first spell had a lot to do with "Brewster" the player rather than just manager.

I have not ranked Hughes, while I may have my doubts about him I don't think its fair to compare him to guys that had a lot longer in the job and had the chance to add their own players to the squad.

Ultras!?

That also cheered me up

I understand him aging, Yogi is making me age

I think if we continue with this style of football Billy will want to go whether we want it or not

What is the difference between Russell Latapy and Malaysia Air Flight 370 ?

Flight 370 has only been missing for 25 days 

Notice in match thread that another bust up between useless manager and a player, he is now losing dressing room, he has to go before it gets serious.

 

Do you have any details of the bust up to come to the assumption that he has lost the dressing room ?

 

The real problem is what to do for Friday? The one pitch where narrow is the way to go and he'll not know which way to turn. Wouldn't surprise me if he now goes with wingers on Friday, which won't be the thing to do there! Aaaaagh! So annoyed!

No -it'll be same old sh*te - roll the f****ing sleeves up and lose the f***ing football match.

 

Hope I'm wrong though.

 

Can't the Board see what's happening???

 

I am sure the board can see whats happening but what do you expect them to do at this stage ?

 I am still not saying he should be sacked yet, however I do believe even the board will be wondering have the made the right choice now.

After tonight, Hughes has won just 1 of his 9 home league games.

I am curious who thinks that is even close to being acceptable

There has been a lack of goals recently but how pleasing is it that our last two goals have come from products of our youth team

Tansey scored the last one before today.

 

Ah sorry you are right Alex, still pleasing to see both young lads score in recent games

oh no joy short lived 

There has been a lack of goals recently but how pleasing is it that our last two goals have come from products of our youth team

Fantastic, how proud Charlie must be, first of his sons many goals for ICT

Brill dropped 

Hibs was a pre-retirement soiree, better pay, more personal publicity, more wine bars, closer to East Anglia. In other words a cushy number with much bigger crowds.........................unless on the last day they play Hearts to avoid the play off spot...

I disagree I think he thought he would go a great job there and then get the Rangers job, he has never been short on ego
