More shots today than the whole of November. Some big name prospective Managers will be emailing the Chairman their CVs as we speak. Exciting times. I bet you're the first one to moan about whoever gets the job. thrower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the strange thing about this business, isn't it? We overachieved in that first season and got to the play-offs when we perhaps weren't quite ready. Had we finished 7th, then Carlos would only have had one play-off defeat to his name. It's even possible he'd have been less cautious against the Terriers as a result, and maybe we'd have gone to the final. Whatever, the players perhaps would still have had faith in him and so no hangover. It's like being a gunfighter, albeit with less fatal consequences; winner takes all.

Earlsfieldowl Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just shows what happens whe the team plays to its potential, or at least close to it instead of around 60%. With players coming back who may actually stand a chance of being used properly/at all the future looks a little brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgmetcalf Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Personally I'm trying not to get carried away with it, it's only one game - It's what Jon Newsome said on the radio. We didn't play great but Forrest were poor and fluffed their chances. I'm waiting until after this busy xmas period to see what effect the shakeup has had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's one big difference between today and most of the games this season, and it's not just the score. The players looked like they wanted to play for the manager. Your last sentence begs a very serious question then. How long would the players have carried on " not playing for him ", ? Had CC not walked, would the players have " not played for him " right up until we were relegated ? Serious question this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad needs tweaking but we have one of the best three squads in the league. Carlos underachieved last year and this year. The squad and DC are not the problem - far from it we should be very grateful to DC. Carlos was the problem. He chose not to buy or use pace and to take a gamble on unproven centre backs rather than going for proven championship players like the guy from Brentford. One game without him and we've played attacking football utilising the one player we have with pace. Guess what we won away 3-0. Guess what - we all called it. Long way to go but I feel the grey cloud around hillsborough is dissipating. Hard to Imagine anyone getting it more wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good question. I guess they just gamble on the fact that in the end the chairman will act. It happened under Laws and Jones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with one of the best squads in the Championship we sit 6 points off the relegation places. Burton a great squad, must also be one of the best in the Championship too.
