5 points from 27. Run that points per game ratio out over a whole season and a club ends up with 21 points - and in rock bottom position. No wonder questions are already being asked about Mark Hughes, and that's before you take into account that no fewer than 4 of those games were against relegation rivals in the bottom five, with only one of them won. When you look at the remaining fixtures, there's not much comfort ahead either. The easy games have finished, it's all uphill from here until the end of the season.
To reach 32 points I called today's game a must win match. A couple of weeks back I mapped out how the Hoops might make it to 37 points, but they had to beat Everton and Bolton to stand a realistic chance of doing that. Instead of six points, they have collected one.
Fernandes has made positive noises but he would, wouldn't he? He knows now that there is something very rotten in the Bush. That fishy smell now reeks to high heaven! Of course all the talk will be about the goal that wasn't given, but teams make their own luck, and QPR went in level at half time and still contrived to lose the game in the second half. What is Hughes saying at half time? Whatever it is clearly aint working!
The record under Warnock was much the same as the record under Hughes, but Hughes has added a clutch of players to the squad since Warnock was shown the door. The sequence of results that have followed Sparky's appointment have been nothing short of disgraceful - and absolutely catastrophic. And one thing's for sure, Warnock would have secured more points from those games than Hughes has mustered.
The decision to sack Warnock and appoint Hughes is now looking bloody stupid. Fernandes might know how to run an airline and a Formula One team, but he doesn't seem to have the foggiest about how to run a football club! He was supposed to be the messiah, but he's looking more like a millstone! Just like Hughes, and Barton, and Wright-Phillips, and Taarabt and...
Expect a crisis meeting this week. And Mark Hughes may well walk!
Go back to our constituencies and prepare for the championship.
ReplyDeleteIt's what I expected in June, but I thought it would be better than this.
At least it's the Jubilee:

Should have checked your facts before including Tony's talents in running a Formula One team. The once great Lotus scored precisely, nil point, zero, nada last season under his stewardship. So put in that light, 22 points so far in the premiership ain't a bad return!
ReplyDeletePS on a brighter note his airline is doing somewhat better!
Another (almost) spot on analysis of The R's by our undercover Hoopz fan 'Hammers fan' the only fault in todays comments is Taarabt is not a millstone in my opinion,and we really really needed him today, we were un lucky today BUT I was even more unlucky as I made the mistake of going instead of staying in the pub ! I have the solution if MH wants to get in touch with me, all we are going to have to do is beat Man City 15-0 on Survival sunday .......... It's Simples
