WalthamOwl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Of course will be given a fair chance but I'm still baffled by the impending appointment. Feel we where crying out for someone that knows the league. Not so keen on reading about his lack of attractive football but I do like that it says he is a disciplinarian and doesn't like laziness. Our players really do need a kick up the arse and I hope he can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootHoot Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Back to basics could be good for us. First season we had attractive football that paid off, second season it didn't work and this season, well... With all the injuries, I don't think we have a squad capable of playing like that so I'll happily take some scrappy 1-0's over another 3-0 to Burton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Herr flick McLaren. Do a better Dutch accent at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I like what I'm reading particularly the 5 theses im afraid some of our squad will be worried as they know there's some hard graft ahead as I think we all saw they're not fit enough He will undoubtedly out some dead wood and these guys quickly identify the shirkers. Theres a bumpy road ahead let's hope he gets the job and turns this big ship around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack the Hat Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Interesting. Couldn't be more different than Carlos. Time will tell if we have landed a lobster or a sardine. Surely points 4&5 of his training thesis contradict each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got some good players. We've also got some crap ones too. Lets hope he leads us to mid table & is then able to build in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoken to my German mate whose second club is Wednesday this morning..... believe me, it wasn't good listening. The word, boring was used on more than one occasion.

shez owl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 And don’t forget the manager will be responsible for the playing side from top to bottom, if he can build a disciplined, hard working culture then a base for a winning culture is made and future of club secure.

Ash-Williams Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Dour football sells season tickets and puts bums on seats. Another backtrack by the chairman to go with top prices pay for attacking promotion football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody right too! The old “let’s get promotion in two years by using old pros near to, or at the end of, their illustrious careers” has a few flaws, all of which were visible at Wembley, against Huddersfield, in the Blunts game and last week. Major lancing of the boil is required. Too many freeloaders and zero application. Lose the dross Jos and get some discipline back in the squad. This will take time and we must give him time. The team has expired and needs a full engine rebuild rather than a couple of pints of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUCE LEE Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 He can turn us into Burton Albion for all I care I just need to see an end to us being a set of fannys (barring Hutchinson) Loovens, Jones, Butterfield, Lees, Lee, Wallace, Reach, Palmer.... none of them have a tackle in them It's alright closing down, but as soon as they get there the opponent just skips past them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so great when losing as we well know. Lets hope it is a different kind of dull. Liverpool won promotion to the old 1st Division in the early Sixties by playing that way, and dominated it for the next ten years with 1-0 wins. I would settle for the same.

DuttyTeabags Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 OMG this is going to be a disaster. Why oh why not go for Dean Smith who has created a great scouting system, signs, plays and builds lower league players into Prem quality and plays good footy. DC has defo lost it. "Fast, aggressive football" and we end up with an extra from Dallas Buyers Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
