Feels like next week is already a massive game

Because today was so abject, the formation was so wrong, lack of effort, lack of belief, players not being allowed to talk to media (media not impressed) and Hughton's defeatist post-match press conference.

It's only one game but all that combined means that he will be under huge pressure if he doesn't get things right very fast. You know how quickly football fans get on a manager's back, and he's made life difficult from match one.

Plus Holt has some big questions to answer after the summer and coming back overweight again.

Crowd need to be massively positive from he start against QPR to give the players some belief.

Everything that's been said about Hughton from his time at Newcastle and Brum has been so he has to be given the benefit of the doubt, but f**king hell.
