Hughes eyes major change

Falkirk boss John Hughes has admitted that he may have to change his side's style of play to try and arrest his side's slide down the table following successive 4-2 thrashings by Inverness and Hearts.
The Bairns have slipped to ninth in the SPL and Hughes is concerned that they have become too easy to break down.
He said: "I'm sorry to say this, but maybe we're now going to have to change our style of play.
"It contradicts my philosophy as I've always wanted to see my team get the ball down and play flowing football with the emphasis on the short passing game.
"However, if we keep defending the way we've been doing then we're not going to win many games.
"I'm not placing all the blame on my defenders. We have to defend as a team and the guys at the back need a hand from those in front of them.
"I'll maybe have to look at changing the formation round to tighten things up."
