Manuel Posted 15 March, 2018 Share Posted 15 March, 2018 Will be interesting to see what team he picks and if he identifies some of the issues we've talked about on here..... eg Tadic/Redmond left or right. Boufal over Redmond. Gabbi as a striker or behind Carrillo. Gabbi INSTEAD of Carrillo. Boufal behind striker. Which two of Lemina/Hoj/Romeu. Which two of Hoedt/Stephens/Yoshi. Who takes free kicks/corners/penalties. 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 Interesting times, looking forward to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 15 March, 2018 Share Posted 15 March, 2018 Well, Les Reed can be seen smiling here, and more interestingly on his desk, it says ‘WIGAN ATHLETIC OPPOSITION DOSSIER’. I gather the feeling Pellegrino turned a blind eye to those- hopefully Hughes will get us suitably prepared for this Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 15 March, 2018 Share Posted 15 March, 2018 (edited) Wasn't enthused when I heard we were in for Hughes (wahey!) but I'm actually feeling very optimistic now. Don't know why, I just think he'll be a good fit with us. Something feels right. Come on you f*****g Saints!

angelman Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 With all the arm chair experts out there saying that it is the recycling of another failed manager, that it is an uninspired appointment, that they hope we get relegated (why that is because we have replaced a donkey with Hughes is anyone's guess), that we are doomed, etc etc......I can't wait to see Hughes show them all that they are completely wrong.

I also hope he goes for speed and guile with Sims, Boufal and I expect he will play Redmond. Lemina, Romeu and Hoj are musts as regular midfielders. He should leave Ward-Prowse on the bench, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 I think Gabby has been his own worse enemy.

twopintsnilnil Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 With a strike rate of 30:1 for us Hughes is well placed to whip our rubbish striking into shape. That must be some kind of record for a lead-the-line forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be some kind of record for a lead-the-line forward. I'm puzzled how you worked that out? Plus when he played for Saints he was used in midfield not as a striker and it was at the end of his career. He played as a striker at Man Utd, Chelsea, Bayern Munich & Barcelona for good reason... he was a very good striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 You being serious? Yes he had a few good games, when he first arrived, then went of the boil ever since, which isn't thriving in my book. He doesn't have the attributes I want from a lone striker he isn't particularly good in the air, doesn't hold the ball up to bring others into play and can't play with his back to goal. He is a support striker probably best played in the same role Jrod played under Poch. I want a front man to be like Lambert or Pelle Gabbi isn't that sort if player in my book.
