Guys Nows your time to reassure me with millions of reasons why they wont Beat Fulham with 22% possession. Had a similar amount against Leeds - very lucky to get a point. A red dog at work said to me they’re setting up as a counter attacking side without any real pace. This sort of play only gets you so far. Let’s face it we were 2nd at Christmas under Rowett playing this kind of Football, look what happened. I think Forest are about where we’re at. Will be in the mix for top 6 but no guarantees they’ll get in. I think Leeds Fulham Bristol and the baggies are better bets for promotion with Leeds unfortunately being the strongest.

Van der MoodHoover Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Huddersfield have appointed Danny Cowley. Do they get the pair of them as a BOGOF? ? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49634696 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Mental appointment by Huddersfield, the blokes had what, 5 games in league one? And he’s suddenly ready for the step up to a championship dog fight? Seems like him and his coaches are rather fans of the more non league style of football as well, could be a thrilling few months as a Huddersfield fan- be a few more doctors complaints of neck ache I would imagine...

He’s got them promoted twice and at the top end of League 1 in his first season there albeit early on. I wouldn’t really want them here for the style of play you touch on but to describe it as mental seems a bit hyperbolic. They’ve definitely earned a Championship job.

Don’t deny that he’s done a pretty spectacular job there, but the championship, particulary at the level Huddersfield want to compete at is a massive massive step up. Particulary in terms of football culture and philosophy. Seems a massive gamble to me on someone with almost no experience at the level below, but I guess you can argue the timing of the sacking of Siewart has left them with few options.

The lack of experience comes more into play, I think, if he’s expected to ‘manage’ the club. Huddersfield had been a premier league set up for the past 2 seasons. They’ve got parachute payments, so they’ll still have all the physios and technicians and what not in the background. Compared with the level the Crowley’s have managed at, that’s suddenly a big step up of stuff they’ve got to be keeping their eye on on a day to day basis. Lampard came here having known nothing but that kind of premier league set up. It’s a lot to ask of the Crowley’s with out some sort of stepping stone club like a Bradford or Rotherham or Wigan or something. Like that bloke that took over at Leeds from doing okay at forest green rovers. Or indeed the guy who stepped up from flying high with Luton, to stoke. You’re right, it’s a big step. It might only sen like a few places in the pyramid compared to relative positions, but when you’re moving from league one to a recently relegated premier league club (or a club the size of Leeds), you’re not going to hit the ground running.

Pretty much exactly the point I was trying to make, but made better than I could manage!? Think people sometimes underestimate the difference between league one and championship clubs because the difference in player quality between the lower champ and upper L1 isn’t that High. But there’s more to it than that when you’re moving to a much bigger club, which is exactly what Cowley is doing moving from a club that was in league two last year to One that was in the prem last year. You end up with a a club with a much more professional set up, more staff than you’ve ever been used to handling, more day to day responsibilities etc, and that’s a big change when you’ve been somewhere previously with an almost non league set up. You have to get used to not having total control over transfers etc etc. And that’s the case moving to most championship clubs, as most have been in the prem since the turn of the century at some point or another. Its a big jump when you’ve been in league one for a while, yet alone when you’ve only been there a month! In the former case, you’d probably argue you’re ready by now for the step up, but in the latter it’s a real gamble by the team appointing you. Not saying experience is everything, but with managers it is generally very important imo. There are always outliers to the norm who manage to make massive leaps up with no bother at all, as there are exceptions with almost anything in football as it’s so unpredictable. But in general, experience is important for a manager, and I’d say this is a big gamble. One that could work out of course, but not one I’d be taking if I was Huddersfield.
