The removal of Beckford (whose face was like thunder looking at the City Fans as he exited), he is so poor with no committment, does not attempt to jump for long balls, cannot pass (except out for oppo's throw ins), etc etc was a turning point with Howard giving his usual combatitive performance, winning headers, holding the ball for mid-field to come into play and surely must start a game as our first half performances of late are unacceptable. Even if he doesn't last 90 minutes, he's an outlet for Schmeichel's long punts and if route one (eg Hammer's third goal - nice one Sam) is required, so be it, giving King and Nugent the chance to feed off Howard. The City defence cannot deal with long, high balls and corners, so the new manager's first job is to sort that out, and, hopefully with Mills returning, give a base to start re-building a team that needs a win desparately, not only for themselves, but the fans who keep turning up, especially at away games, the Hammer's fans saying "blimey they are well supported away from home" Kevin Keegan? - the paper's need to fill space, but who will it be as there are so many names being banded about, every manager not that's not employed + Lee Clark. Make it quick and certainly by next Sunday.
