They've not been called that for years but that's beside the point. I want a manager who can win cup finals, not just get us there. You can't credit him for getting us to the EFL Final without also offsetting it by chucking the FA Cup in the 4th round.
It's been noticeable for some time an our academy products have not exactly been banging their heads on the doorframe. Having Virgil in defence masks a lot ot deficiencies.
We also knew it would be a header and that Crouch would be the scorer. Makes you wonder why Cedric was left to pick him up.
Grossly incorrect
Where have I advocated hoofball? We just don't attack in numbers and are much too slow in moving the ball forward. With our team of short players that of necessity has to be along the ground and we lose the extra dimension of balls in the air. We lose to a lot of headers and we don't score many ourselves.
Clear style? Would that be keep possession at all costs and don't do anything adventurous that might support the lone striker? Basically, keep it tight and try to hit them on the break.
This is a big issue for me. The players spend the first hour of each game trying to sort out who should be where and having to explain to each other why they should have been on the end of a pass that went nowhere. It shouldn't be like this after a season in charge.
No, of course I didn't. But I respect the right of others to voice their displeasure, as well as their right to sing and cheer in support. You pay your money and you make your voice.
'Worse season than ours'? It's not only about league position.
