jono Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A few more goals please but apart from that I am pretty happy. I like his first half in the stands so he can see what's going on on. .. For this means he is getting a fans eye view as well. He is seeing what we are ! Its a strange thing .. I like to be a winner so should be gagging for the premier league but if I am honest it's all a bit hyped, packaged and industrial. All I want is a good crowd, attractive football, us scoring goals and winning more often than we lose. If we were top half of the table, wining well at home and be near to leading goal scorers in the league then I would be content ... I think this means I am officially a selfish old goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I'd add is we get the football right and look to incrementally improve (i.e. what MM has been banging on about since taking over) success will come, there is zero reason why we can't emulate Southampton have done. We just need to be patient and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to be patient and enjoy the ride. And that is exactly it .... patience .. It can't happen overnight, good teams get built, they evolve. The last thing we want is to crawl in to the Prem, get humiliated and go back to square one. I actually think aspiring stars WANT to go to Southampton but would they really WANT to go to Hull or Burnley ? .. I would hate it if we were the sort of club that attracted cast offs of a certain type because we just about made the big league. Contraradicting a little my earlier statement about packaged industrial premier league .. We need a USP for recruits. Enlightened club with great facilities, fans, history and the right sort of ambition. If I was a comunist I'd be saying ...Comrades .. We need a five year plan .. Jees and there is even a tractor factory down the road (we'll sort of) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 With Stevie Mac's return, i expected a return to the whirlwind/tornado type of attacking football which we stormed the Championship for one and a half seasons, up until the head-turning. What we have got instead is a different approach, possibly in an attempt to overcome the "park-the-bus" approach from many of our visitors. So instead of everyone piling forwards, we hold back trying to coax them out of their half instead. If it works, it creates room for us to play, and it also stifles their counter-attacking opportunities - you can't counter-attack a team who is still 70 or 80% in its own half. We have a stronger defence, which may be Powell's doing, or simply because Pearce has found his place, and our less-gung-ho approach means threat the midfield are better able to shield the defence, increasing our ability to keep clean sheets. The downside is that it is easy to fall into Clementitis, with a side-to-side, "keepers on" passing mentality, so any chance to break and attack with speed is thrown away while we kindly wait for the opposition to take up their defensive positions again. Despite the frustrations this brings, I think we are in a stronger position than during Steve's last time here, vis-a-vis our results and league position. A further review after the January transfer shennanigans will be interesting reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 In his manner, I would say he seems focused and enthusiastic, glad to back in the game. The team, from what I can see, still has a way to go, but at least is becoming something of a team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
