When we played Villa they were on a fantastic run of form, winning 4 on the run or 5 if i remember right, scoring lots of goals away from home. Plus 4-1 flattered them quite alot.
West Ham and Chelsea were both fortunate, we played well enough to get something from both and missed some very good chances, not good i know but it happens.
Arsenal youth are still a pretty awesome side, would finish above Rovers if that team played a season in the PL imo, they have beaten other PL sides than Rovers as well, they are a good side if they are young, they paid 9 million or so for Eduardo, when was the last time Rovers paid that for 1 player? We still played half decent on Tuesday as well and on another night could easily have snuck through.
Bad results happen, Rovers always go through a bad run of form as does every team each season, lets just ride it out and things will improve. Getting rid of Hughes would be insane, we would still be a small town club with limited funds, punching above out weight and not a very attractable target for the top players availible and WITHOUT a world class manager who can attract the higher quality of players to the club.
