What he's about is 5 yards too slow. It's no good being 7 foot 6 if, when the ball and man goes past you on the deck, you constantly fail to recover. He has to improve in this area or he's not going to find it easy holding down a place.

Aaah yes, thank you, I do. Age is catching up and I got confused with some of the old haunts of my early years in Germany. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Mate, if you'd seen us at Derby (we were awful) , and then when Duss ran another 3 in at SMS you knew we were in for a long hard season. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Warnock will have them pumping it into the box on every occasion possible so need our defence to hold firm. How often have they done that? That said - I'm with Simo, going for the super positive 3 nil away win based on nothing more than new manager bounce. Please.

After Derby and Dusseldorf I said we would be relegated. Up til now, I've seen nothing to change that view. But now Ralphs here - who knows. I'll stick with yes for now.

Finishing and defending are our problems. Probably the two hardest skill-sets in football.

Coventry still went down that season if memory serves...!

Good manager syndrome. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

No, not difficult to understand at all. Thank you very much for your reply. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Would really like to know what the story is with him right now. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Yeah I'm watching Holly in the jungle as well. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Which will show him that not only do we have very little footballing talent, but we are also devoid of bottle and leadership. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

New guy will learn a lot about temperament over the next 30 mins or so. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Yep, that good old coaching phrase 'space doesn't score goals' comes to mind. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

On the bright side, probably best that the new man sees the full extent of the problem, and is not lulled into a false sense of security by a one off half decent performance. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

I thought Toby had turned down a new contract that spurs had offered, preferring to move on instead? Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

All very good and all very laudable, but saying it and doing it are two completely different things. I would love to see it but you have to have the players that are both technically and physically capable of doing it. It wont just happen because that's what he wants to do - let's face it CA is not in this team and there are others who might struggle with it as well. If we over-commit pressing high, leave the midfield vacant, then teams will break on us and with our 'defence' we could find ourselves in big trouble. I'm looking forward to getting back to the attractive, high press, lots of goals type football and games - but I think it will be more a work in progress as opposed to an overnight change.

Very, very interesting.

I saw him a couple of times. Don't think he did anything particularly wrong, just was playing in a struggling team. Worked hard in the games I saw and decent assist at west brom as well. Very easy to write a guy off after seven games, but then again I'm not a football genius. (there are a fair few on this board though, allegedly). Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

But hilariously funny as well...!!!

Went pre season, we got smashed. We owe them. Will be going to this one, but won't be easy by any means. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Most other club's carrots are bigger than our carrots to be fair.
