It's all about luck, it really is. At this level anyway. You can reduce the elements of chance with a solid infrastructure, good research of the subject matter and then allowing them to do what they are paid to. The abililty of the heirarchy to learn from historical mistakes also helps. Edited December 13, 2018 by Sergeant Tibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, no guarantees, though I rate Jokanovic highly as a coach. As for having no pace in the side, you’d perhaps be surprised how much pace we had if we had a more forward thinking coach Players like Penney, Matias and Joao are pretty quick, certainly quicker than anything our neighbours have However, because they move the ball apace, and are always looking to get forward, they look a much more mobile side than us.

The fact they all want the ball to feet and don't seem to want to run into space the other way and get behind another. Is that all tactical or natural drift. I'm not sure...

sherlyegg Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 None on the list (except Jos) have the right connections to get a job here. When the bookies open up betting, I'll let you know who it will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to get in behind and trust people to find him (mind..that'd another matter! ) Don’t think for one moment players like Forestieri want the ball in to his feet ( if he’s lucky ) If you watch him, he’s constantly frustrated, even pointing to where he wants the ball played Our sole attacking options seems to be, lump it up to Fletcher so he can tussle with the centre backs without ever getting it truly under control. None of our other front players are the sort of players who thrive on flick ons It’s pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I like him as a player the Hooper signing always struck me as an odd one. As did Fletcher ( who don't get me wrong has impressed me) but neither were , too my eyes at least the right type of striker for the way we were playing. Something I know you and I both also agreed on re: Rhodes before we signed him. Edit- don't know why this picture wouldn't show in text.

I think when he's played down the middle he's definitely the fastest we have. Certainly the one that looks to expose the space behind. (Though that has been tempered by him playing midfield again this year- which has surprised me given the way Jos used him effectively in the cups as a striker last term.) Not saying the other two are slouches. Though Fernando looks faster than he is with the Scrappy doo running style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his wage demands will rule us out too. I like his style of play, but you need good players to play it. And we're supposed to be losing our best players. It worked - his style I mean - at this level, but in the PL it fell flat because Fulham were up against teams with better players. If we lose our best, then I'm not sure he's what we need. We need a manager who can make the most of mediocrity. We're bob these days, and likely to get bobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
