Buddy Repperton Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 He's doing a fantastic job with the total shambles he's been left with. Hopefully the Birmingham game was just a one-off. Keep it up lads, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagarri Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Absolutely, fair play! However, let's see what people think to his defensive approach after a full summer and a fit squad. I, admittedly, doubted his selection today and hope he succeeds but I doubt it'll be a long term appointment. As long as he leaves a legacy of youth being played.

Rebowl Yell Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I’ve not seen anybody want Jos out, all I’ve seen is rightful admiration for the job he’s doing. Is there some sort of subforum I’m not seeing here? Edited February 17, 2018 by Rebowl Yell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Look forward to welcoming some of our attacking players back so we can get playing exciting attacking football. Jos has done a great job in regards to defence, look forward to him doing the same attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I was impressed at how he got us so organised in about 3 days before the Derby. I went to the Boro game and whilst we were very organised I thought that the lack of any attacking intent reflected badly on him second half and we’ve had a few games like that. But with the addition of the likes of Clare to the side and getting Joao firing he is starting to get a bit more balance going forward. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with more attacking players available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Literally haven’t see one post seriously calling for Jos to go People have rightly been questioning his decision to play Fox and Palmer when far better options are clearly available 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Essex Owl Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 And in case anyone wants to say only one league win, we have a complete dearth of creative players at the moment. He is doing very well with ridiculously limited resources and having inherited the shambles Carlos left us with.The test comes when he gets the resources...

torryowl Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 he certainly know's how to set a side up and be defensively sound , very rarely are we out of position when the opposites have the ball .,with what he as had to work with I think he's done a good job so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl 44 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Under Luhukay Played 9 Won 3 Drawn 5 Lost 1 Goals for 9 Goals against 5 Clean sheets 6 Not bad considering the situation he inherited. Shored up defence Changed a tired system Promotion of youth Seems to be properly managing the recovery of the injured players Clearly practising different ideas for free kicks - never saw this under Carlos He keeps talking about needing to improve the offensive side of play so he is aware of it. A few games ago we couldn't even pass a ball other than to an opposition player. Last couple of games seem to have been a lot more fluid. Our pressing in the first half today was brilliant. Swansea didn't know what to do. Trouble was we were then knackered in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox is playing because we are down to the bare bones. Edited February 18, 2018 by NYCOWL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then he's back up at best. Just don't think he's got the ability or is a good enough athlete to get up and down the pitch to be a wing back. Same could be said for Palmer too. Hunt...time will tell, he's probably the one who could make a half decent wing back. Still - it's a position we must strengthen in the summer.

For the first two years we spent an absolute fortune on attacking players and almost nothing on defence... then increasingly played in a manner that was completely backwards to what you'd expect from that kind of recruitment 'strategy'.

Plonk Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 And just one point to add. That one defeat was the most bizzare game I’ve seen. So many errors on all levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCOWL Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If Fox is anywhere near the first team next season then we will have failed again in the transfer market. I just don’t see the value in criticising any of our backups or the manager right now. We are where we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
