Possibly a blessing in disguise and should confirm, as we have all known, to Hughes that Hill Ferdinand Onouha and Green are not Premiership players. The one real thing that does my head in is that Hughes in his era was one of the best strikers in the world but he doesnt seem to rub off that great experience on our forward players. Wright Phillips Mackie Taarabt Diakite Zamora all need striker coaching just like they have at Tottenham in the Premier league you cannot afford that extra touch you need to hit the ball cleanly on target instinctively we dont apart from Cisse who never got himself in any position to yesterday. Maybe Hughes could spend an hour a day just showing them how to kick a ball at goal. Now we have Bosingwa we need a left back is Fabio going to be played solely in that position or Triore and neither are good defensively so its a bit of a worry. I am just so surprised that we havent secured a Centre Back early on because as all Rs fans were aware after last season it was our first priority and we must act really quickly to rectify the problem and seeing as we have only spent 1.5m nett lets spend some real money on some real quality at the back and as for Green I just dont know what can be done but just let him ride it out and hope he gets his confidence back but some of the mindless idiots in our crowd that heckle him dont help.

Watched it all happen on Sky and we were magnificent. I was raging but not surprised that Sky didnt once show our fans or players after the match finished we were totally ignored. They wont ignore us next season though I think we will now go from strength to strength. Hopefully Joey Barton will get a 36 match ban for next season. I am so proud of the boys even though I watched most of the game through my fingers, ten games ago we were staring at the Championship Hughes is a real leader and I cannot wait for next season.

The squirrel was on his own up front for long periods in the first half but no one could find him which was ashame because I thought his movement and energy levels were superb and was very surprised that Mark Hughes didnt send him out for the second half. All joking aside I thought we played very well in periods today and it was just luck that desserted us. I am one of Joey Bartons biggest critics and although he gave the ball away a few times he really did battle for the team. I thought Clint Hill was superb today and looks more at home centrally, Derry played well and there was alot of grit, it will be interesting to see next week whether Diakite comes back and takes the place of SWP who I think needs a rest and can come on as an impact player. Hope Cisse can pick up where he left off before getting sent off.

I didnt look forward to today and hated every minute of it, from the kick off you could just sense that there was going to be one organised outfit on the pitch and it wasnt going to be us. It must be a very difficult job for a manager to take charge of a struggling team and unless your name is Martin O'Neil it will take time to get them used to new methods which is possibly why Tony Fernandes should have had more faith in NW. But Mark Hughes is our manager and obviously he might run out of time before he can influence a team shockingly lacking in confidence. To me we seem to play too deep inviting the opposition to pressurise us into giving the ball away and the biggest culprits today and have been for the last few matches, not that than any of the players were sure footed, were Barton and SWP, there is no direct play and nobody wants to take on any resposibility for having a go at actually trying to score its all a bit ' After you Claude ' I had my head in my hands more today than the whole of the season and it just seems that none of the players are on any sort of the same wavelength with any other and where do they go from here. Diakites sending off just highlights the fact that football is getting ever nearer to a non contact sport, however three players missing three games for us at this stage and with all the big guns coming here in the next few weeks doesnt look good for us. I feel incredibly despondant and just pray that the three teams below us keep playing as badly as us and we might just escape.

It was ashame that we couldnt see this team play the whole game we look like we have the makings of an exciting team. My concerns are that after we scored we shoul really have gone for them but we backed off and let them get into the game. Taarabt came of age and was magnificent in the second half and soon these near misses will turn into goals he needs to show the same performance and commitment next week and his confidence will grow and grow and he could tbe most exciting player in the championship and its sad that Cisse went bcacause Adel has obviously been lifted by the arrival of Cisse and in the second half would have given him the passes he needs to score goals. Im not sure if Zamoro was 100% fit but I think that once Diakite arrives we will have pace in midfield we are desperate for. Tayote looks a bit iffy and will need time to adabt Young really worries me defending he is not good enough around his six yard box. Barton keeps givig the ball away in the wrong area and needs to play in a more advanced role SWP I feel needs that goal to get him going as for Hulse Im sorry I just shake my head as to what he is doing in our squad, Mackie should have come on instead.

I thought we looked much more comfortable playing 442 its what we should have kept with all season our missed chances reflected the lack of confidence and we missed Faurlin, however the commitment was there Mackie and Bothroyd were excellent and Bothroyd who I didnt want back in the team, actually looked a player and I think that the discipline that Mark Hughes will bring and him having been a top top striker will help our forwards start producing SWP just needs that ruthless streak back because he has more chances than anyone and just strokes the ball instead of banging it and hopefully Hughes will rekindle things for him. We did enough to win and we are not that far away, everyone is going crazy over Swansea but we should have beaten them at the Liberty and we are not that far away and to all the cynics and critcs of TF and MH that I have seen written in the last couple of articles here, just get behind them both I am really excited about Mark Hughes being here, yes I loved Neil Warnock like everybody else but in a way I am glad he went when he did because I would have hated for the crowd to turn on him and there were signs that some were.

Its no good I cant sleep I just keep wondering when our players are actually going to show the world that they are good players and not pretending be. Time to get tough we have too many fairies in Wonderland, watching some of our players sauntering around yesterday put me on a downer for New Years Eve. Sorry but I dont want to see Jay Bothroyd wearing our beloved hooped shirt anymore he has had his chance and is just not worthy. I dont want us play a packed midfield and one up front anymore we havent got the quality to make it work, as we are losing games hand over fist I thought that Neil would have realised that, our defence gets opened up at will anyway so we might as well go 433 or 442 and have a bloody good go, its all going against the attacking principles that Neil Warnock bestowed at the start of the season. I can only think of two games this season where we had a real go, Wolves and Man City, all the rest has been a midfield tippy tappy and no end product which is only a recipe for a return to the hell of the Championship. Our coaching needs to change its got to be much bolder and much strickter on players who are supposed to put a small ball in a a very big net and do it regularly in return for a great deal of money and that when they run to a pitch they are going to give us the fans 110% commitment and desire and not the 60% I watched today. Dont show clubs like Arsenal, Utd, Liverpool etc so much respect they really are not that good, there are a few quality players in this league but as Blackburn proved today if you go at them you will have a chance. The players need to change the attitude they have and most importantly BELIEVE in themselves and maybe Neil thats down to you me old Richmond cocker!

Fantastic result outfought Stoke bully boys and our new system works a treat when every player fights for each other. I stupidly thought that we might get some credit on MOD but the Three Stooges were having none of it not even a mention! Well its time for us to beat the team that cost us the Championship in '76 next week and we will. Come on u rrrrrs!

I agree hoops 58 when are we going to shrug off this championship mentality, it just won't wash, we looked a league or two below in quality today and seemed to be devoid of any composure or confidence and it was more dissapointing to me than the performance against Fulham. Derry and Faurlin keep getting caught out running for a tackle facing their own goal and losing out, Barton sits too deep and looks like he stiil wishes he was at Newcastle, he has hardly been an inspiration on the pitch so far and I wont even say what I think of our central defenders. I am just watching the game between Norwich and Swansea and the approach to the game from Norwich playing wide men and always have bodies in the box, 44 bloody 2 when are we going to give it a try for more than ten minutes, we have the players, Mackie and Bothroyd in front of Taraabt (who was pathetic when he came on) or Smith Faurlin Barton and SWP, come on we have got to start testing keepers, Robinson who was clearly carrying a strain, had bugger all to do and that just isnt good enough at home. Just seen the end of MOD and our game was a complete afterthought, how embarrassing. Next Sunday OMG, I think I will go to church in the morning.

The Rangers fans were magnificent throughout the game, the players weren't and we have a problem. Neil has to change the formation, Taraabt is wasted playing safe one twos on the left of midfield he is our best finisher and he is getting nowhere near the box. Barton todayl went missing inthe first half and I am still waiting for him to show me why there has been so much hype about him I would rather have Buzsaky. Joey Barton looks very average and he has got to pull his finger out quickly! Hall Orr and Bothroyd look very Championship and just not good enough. What made my afternoon was seeing the return of Jamie Mackie the one man that wants to die for the Rs and I cannot wait to see him team up with DJ Campbell against Blackburn.
