I meant to say also, i've absolutely nothing against Park as a player and he does bring something to our midfield but I do not think he makes a good Captain - I just don't see him galvansing those around him. He doesn't seem to say much at all. We need a Simon Barker 'die for the cause' type player as Captain.

Look at Mark Noble last night and compare the two.

Correction - Kevin Nolan, not Noble

Not good enough Hughes. While TF obviously wants and needs to back him we can not be cut adrift at the bottom. I'm afraid that Hughes does still not know his best team and seemingly lacks the motivation touch with the players. Very concerning.

Amateur first 45 minutes silent mid field, little cohesion, we have to feel sorry for ourselves before making an effort ? 8 from 28 says it all probbo, spot on. Don't honestly know were we go from here cant see a win against Albion or the Toffees just in that "r" word rut already with the only positive being its the start of the season and not the end ! Feeling very average at the moment after that result.

SWP a dud from day 1, for me, but keeps getting picked.
Midfield over-run, once again!
MH bending over backwards to keep Dyer. Why?
Taarabt on bench yet again. Why?
Why is the defence still a farce?(even with the injured players)
MH has had 2nd half of last season and all Summer so why are we still getting this shite?
Other teams play with drive and forceful determination, to win. This lot don't know what winning means.
Is MH up to it ?????
What more does he need??
How can this team be fixed; new manager????

Mark Hughes dosn't know his best team, so who comes in and picks the best team, i dont think anyone would know what the best team is with these individuals. so heres mine i would like to see Park on the right with Taarabt on the left and Hoilett playing off Zamoura, obviously Granero, Faurlin in the middle then what ever defenders are fit but Hill is no left back in the premier league, got turned too easily for the first goal.

Why are we so poor at defending set pieces or looping balls into the box, every time a ball comes in we look vulnerable, needs to have a look at that to start with other wise we will just get peppered with long balls and the percentge game will cost us eventually,

Sick of waking up a deppressed Rs fan after every game, two more defeats then i will be joining the time to change the manager voices.

I can't really believe what i'm reading here tbh. Six games gone, 32 left & its all going wrong already??? Lets have a little bit of a reality check here. We've lost to the premier league champions away, we've drawn at home against the european champions, narrowly lost away to spurs who then went to old trafford & beat man utd! Those 3 teams will almost certainly be in & around the top 6 come the end of the season. Swansea, terrible result, Norwich, we didnt lose when we probably should've & last night was a poor performance against west ham. We've got injuries in key areas (both full backs) and almost a new squad of players that need time to gel, maybe even till christmas! ffs, where we 4-5 years ago!

Once Bobby Grant got sent off any hope of winning this game dissappeared, it was always going to be a backs against the wall struggle. What a great 10 man performance to slavage a point against a good side, we defended superb, the challanges were clinical and everybody stood up to be counted. Thought Adebola went to sleep in 2nd half and couldn't understand why the substitution took so long and why when it came it was Kennedy and not Adebola who was brought off ??
