We've already let the rags piss on us in the air once so none of these games are forgone conclusions in my book.

Don't agree with that - Mica, Ned, Kolo and Bridge are all decent in the air and on the floor - their inability to play together under the previous regime was the problem - hence the title and main content of the post - fair point about Hughes but it wasn't what I wanted to stress in the OP.

Imo Ned Kolo & Bridge are useless in the air. Also none will be playing.

Why pick on half a sentence of the post and make a such a wanky comment about it? Why not just reply to the main subject matter?
Typical City wrote:Just been looking at the fixtures and the first thing that jumps out is how unlucky Hughes actually was. RM will have the two legged semi which is ultimately winable especially given the rumoured team U***d will put out. A cup tie against struggling lower league oposition, which should be a gimme and league fixtures against Stoke, Wolves, Blackburn, Everton, Stoke, Portsmouth, Hull and Bolton. Looking at that run of fixtures there is a real possibility we can win them all - leaving us in a position of a major final, passage into the next round of the FA and easily top 4. I think even Hughes would have had a lot of wins out of those fixtures but lets see what RM does with them and how he shapes the team before we make our judgement. By then we will have an idea where he is taking us with regard tactics, selection and desire (also a window of signings) and his ability to win these 'lesser' matches that many of MH could only draw.

really? It sometimes seemed that some people were going to give him 11 years to make any progress.
