Guess it's time for Hughes to go then?
Seriously, we could have beat them easily. Newcastle were mostly rubbish but took the few chances they had very well. A painful reminder of how pitifully ineffective Rovers are when it comes to actually scoring.
Maybe Mark Hughes could consider a less conservative approach sometimes. Fact is, it probably wouldn't work anyway, considering the poor technical ability of the squad in general. They're best suited to a scrappy 5-4-1 and relying on sheer dumb luck to score a goal. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try though, if we want to rise above that.
At least no one will be pinning this one on Emerton. Or Matteo. Or Dickov. Or Amoruso. Or Souness.
