Dear Mr Hughes, when will you ****ing well start sending the lads out in the right frame of mind to play the first half?? This season is doing my nut, we're giving away the initiative every bloody time, doesn't matter how well we play, or think it tactically, second half if you're going to keep on doing this. So despite the second half performance - and even though we were really unlucky at the end... 5 from me add * if you were there please

Was hoping / expecting Assaidi to come on for Arnie
Bojan possibly subbed at half time?

Not sure Hughes can be blamed for how much effort the players put in..It's upto the players to make the effort

Gave people a chance, Diouf in his natural position and Bojan, we were shit first half, clearly sorted it out in the second, let down again by the players (Crouch).

To me they're undermotivated every first half atm because they don't have a clear enough take on what's expected so because they're not sure, they're not committed enough.

When you watch the players it's like the are feeling the game out and then sort of picking a game plan (if that makes any sense at all!) When we know what Stokes game plan should be as do the players and manager and they should be looking to execute it from the get go

Benji proved horribly right I posted on the weekend no player who is in line to play saturday should be in the stadium On wednesday , through appalling judgement and naivety we now have
Tired legs , two more yellows, a red , two suspensions ,, utterly avoidable and complete madness ., equally our squad depth and under investment has been ruthlessly exposed again .
Mark and his team did not create the suicidal boom and bust investment strategy that is so exposing us , but tonight they have made the situation a whole lot worse and there can be no excuses about quality in the last third this weekend as his top scorer should have been in bed tonight not getting a red card , equally the Wilko decision now looks as strategically bankrupt as the investment policy we are in deep deep shit and the team selection tonight says we have not taken the first step out of it , namely recognising it
A very very expensive night as 40 seems further and further away as we give ourselves a mountain to climb on Saturday we did not need to

A 6 from me......I just cant get my head round why we start every game so slow...... By the look of the second hlaf performance he gave the players a right royal bollockin at half time and told them to up the tempo which they clearly did, but by god we need to do that from the off and not give the oppo the upper hand every fuckin time A stonger second half to the season Hughesy said didnt he???? Try it from the off son, then at least weve got a fightin chance in games!!!!! A VERY frustrated expat potter!

3 first half, lucky we were only 2 down 8 second half, if it wasn't for Crouch being a stupid twat we would have gone on to win I'm sure of that. Thought he should have left Bojan on though he was growing into the game and getting some much needed game time. * Gouranga.

I've got some serious concerns about how he can personally watch Arnoutovich play like an absolute joke for 96 minutes and not drag his sorry arse off.
Getting a little tired of playing shit for long periods.
Need serious cash spending in January.

Walters seemed fine, so what is Hughes doing different with him than the rest of them, players should at least be putting some effort in even if they are a bit unsure about what they are meant to be doing, which I highly doubt is the problem.

Can anyone tell me what style of play Hughes is trying to achieve? Tactics and personnel change from game to game. Half an hour of throwing everything forward because there's nothing to lose is not a sustainable tactic for a season. We lost our discipline and collected a string of bookings. Southampton were bound to score from one of the series of free kicks we gave them around the penalty area. Can't find any reason to give the manager a point.

Picked a good enough starting line up, changed it at the right time and got kicked in the bollocks by stupidity from our most experienced player.

incomprehensible decision to replace bojan whilst leaving arnie on the pitch. We were basically playing with ten from the first whistle, and nine after crouch went...
Assaidi should have started as arnie poses absolutely no threat to any full back at the moment. We simply carried no threat whatsoever down the flanks except for bardsley.

4* from me - first half was just like the weekend - no rhyme nor reason for it
2nd half - nowt to lose and resorted to hoof and lets all run around a lot. Lost our discipline as well
Seems we are back to rock and a hard place re style - up and at em with hoof ball or walking passing football

Apart from the last 5 minutes I enjoyed almost everything that I saw last night and on that basis he's worth 9.
However, several hold ups on the M6 meant that I didn't get there until half time so I'd better divide my score by 2.
4.5*

First half 3 - Why no Assaidi? Second half 7 - why take Bojan off and leave SJW (MOTH!!!??) on? Still no Assaidi. 4.5* Hughes now has to choose from limited options - this may be a blessing in disguise. Who knows? We may turn up for BOTH halves one game this season ( and both halves of one season!!)

5 most of the players not putting a shift in were his signings so he is to blame for the first half shambles.
