If we can put poor sides to the sword (we have struggled in the past) and hold our own with the better sides we should be top 6. It will be interesting to see how sides try to beat us. High press and speed is hard to defend against unless you pack the defence and hope to hit us on the break. With the likes of Reach able to score worldies from a distance that could be a risky thing to try. I'm glad we've actually got a side where we're thinking how will teams beat us, rather than f*ck me how are we gonna beat them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every side is going to run them into the ground and press that high up They'll be fine - they can knock it around, they have a brand of football and don't look like the whipping boys they have been in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes, but we normally drop points against these sorts of teams! Strap yourself in - we're heading for the moooooooon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally not getting carried away, as it's a long season but it is encouraging and exciting after the soft embargo and losing Bruce. It will be a test to see how quickly we bounce back from our first set back. Think, we'd be all be getting far more carried away if Bruce was still here and we'd have made the start we have under Bullen, regardless of who we faced. Who knows how long it will last and whether Bullen is the right man or not but he's giving it a good go and deserves a crack at it, at least temporarily? Unless we can get an ambitious appointment or someone like Cook for example, seeing if Bullen is up to it, might in some ways be the most forward thinking and smartest thing to do?

Bullen has done a brilliant job for DC. Not only has he won him points, he’s bought him time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, in a way it's a win win situation, regardless of how long it lasts. If he isn't up to it, I'd imagine he'd go back to a coaching role and would have given us time to find suitable replacements but if he is the real deal and the right man at the right time, then it would have potentially saved DC money as well as time to make a difficult appointment, considering the betting list, available managers and restructuring.

Good away point at Reading anall...a point away is always a good point in this league....anyone can beat anyone, no easy games in this league......blah blah blah ...........

Yellowbelly Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Bullen could have a job for life here IF he remains a coach/occasional caretaker manager. If he takes the big job at some point in the next 2 to 3 years the statistical likelihood is he’s going to get sacked. Depends on the mans ambition but it would be sad to lose him from the club, and DC lose his man in the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
