Love seeing a tactical plan comes together a-team style.

Myself and Nordic have been saying since he came in he would be a top, top manager.

Give him an extended contract now.

Doing a great job. But seems blind when it comes to Archer.

Nah... If you can't blame the manager for a poor performance, they can't take the credit for a good one...

He learns and implements what he has learned - we have potentially a great manager on our hands.

[Osvaldorama]

Brilliant today. Changed it up and it worked. Quality quality stuff. 

[Nordic Saint]

We are 12 games unbeaten and have won away against 2 better teams, Fulham and Coventry, because we have got by far the best manager in the league.

Fuck me, calm down.

About time some on here start giving him the respect he deserves. He's doing a fantastic job and completely did a number on Lampard today.

At this rate we'll struggle to hold onto him.

I actually disagree. Hopefully he gets us up at Wembley and then sack him. Need a proven manager for the PL.

 

no doubt an unpopular opinion but otherwise will be a repeat of last season if not worse.

Your view?

Let’s just say that every criticism of him he has answered. I mean there’s someone posting above that criticises him for having a blind spot with Archer. Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

A repeat of last season will depend on whether we sign PL quality players or bottom half Championship ones. If we repeat the latter, the manager will be basically irrelevant, as three different people proved last season.

I think he's obviously doing very well. It's nice to actually look forward to games again with some hope instead of dread. Good luck to him and the team.

He got it absolutely spot on today, fair play to him. He needs to find a way of breaking down teams that are happy to sit in though.

What choice did he have today? Larin was knackered so it was Archer or a young lad.

I thought he did ok when he came on, he ran at them, got the ball up the pitch.

He’s not great, we all know that, put TE’s options are limited.

Yep agreed.

Saw a midfield three and thought he would try to nullify Coventry's midfield and worked a treat. Also helps that Downes is getting back to the sort of form from the last stint in the championship. 

Definitely need to figure out how to do better against teams who defend deep and like to counter.
