Hughes: Saddlers are too nice

24 August 2009 17:44
The Saddlers suffered their third defeat in five in all competitions so far this season as they went down 2-0 at Charlton on Saturday and they are now winless since the opening day. And Hughes, a summer signing from Northampton, feels there needs to be more controlled aggression and determination when he and his team-mates cross that white line. "I know you are mates off the pitch, but maybe for 90 minutes we can be a bit nasty to each other. It wouldn't do anyone any harm," he told the Express and Star. "It would wake players up so we can get more out of them. We need to be nastier in the box, not dirty, but get a bit tighter. "We're a bit too nice. We do okay and we do work hard for each other, but maybe when balls are coming in the box we can be tighter to our men and be more ruthless."
