We have had plenty of Hughes out threads but what is the problem with the team/performances.
For me its:
1) We play at such a low tempo we are easy to play against
2) We play all our football in front of teams we never turn them around
3) Were shocking at attacking set pieces and even worse defending them
4) We look good keeping the ball but its all in the middle of the park as soon as we need to make the passes count around oppositions box we have no idea
5) We lack movement off the ball
6) We have no height or bullies in the team hence whey we get raped at corners and set pieces
7) When we dont have the ball we dont apply pressure teams pass around us and we never win the second ball
8) Today specifically when were chasing the game we have 11 men back for corners (Strange) and the one guy who was picking up the ball and running with it Samba was taken off for Derry (Strange) again when were chasing the game
9) Generally when the ball goes in the box we only have one man in there so we either pick him out or its move over. The midfield is not brave enough to break and get beyond and support our striker
Anything else you guys have picked up on?? Am I being to harsh??
Love him or hate him someone like Grant Holt up top knocking defenders over is what we need in this team. Even Lambert today for a big man had a good touch and put a shift in
Mackie can do this, but stupid Spark doesn't play him upfront!

Hammer and nail + the zonal marking project from hell. Also: our defence are not good (apart from Nelsen) at defending and we have to many ballet dancer in the team.
whether you rate Mackie or not he has to play up front in a central striker role until a permanent fix can be done. The times the ball was knocked into the middle with no one there, surely he has got more chance of hitting the onion bag than thin air
Heaven has a road, but no one travels it, hell has no gate but men will dig to get there
