jagerbob Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Since I was almost as anti-McClaren as UncleJ was, I'd just like to point out that Powell, Phillips and Zuba are still here, so clearly they are the reason for the Teams success. Just as it was all Pearsons fault when he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclej Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 A managers success is measured on the achievements of the team. Wembley was a tactical car-crash only to finish 8th the following year losing to Forest at home and going down 0-3 at the end of the season to Reading. I've always thought the moral at the club has been good for long spells under Steve McClaren, which has allowed us to see Lingard and Ibe for periods of loan. However, when other coaches work us out or we receive a dip in form, I am nervous how our current manager will lead us through these spells. This is why I have always been unsure about just what we can actually achieve under his leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its nice were playing better football and the players seems happy at least the fans are paying £30 to see football now even if they weren't bothered about that before. Sorry for being a bit realistic but that's how I see it. What does "fans paying £30" have to do with any of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnyram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Got to say I was delighted when the Mc returned although a little unsure whether he would recreate the football / team spirit of his first term as manager (I also think he contributed a big part in the magical Jim Smith era). I got the buzz back when he joined in 2014 and after a couple of months I have the same feeling now -I don't even think we are any where near the same level that we achieved in his first spell in charge. If we get there with the defensive side of our game in tact then we will be challenging come the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being a bit realistic but that's how I see it. There was me thinking that he left cos he was sacked by Mel - you clearly don't let facts spoil your rant. There are no guarantees as to how long the good run will continue but it's already a very good run of form. No one forces you to attend. Perhaps you prefer losing runs - you certainly seem to be looking forward to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pipe dream when he came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
