I'm exiled in the South and have seen a fair bit of Bournemouth. It's amusing that those who criticise Cocu for being defensive suggest Howe and Hughton. Also, neither have blooded many academy players. A few players, including Ibe and Cook, have raised questions regarding Howe's man management skills aswell. But, hey ho, at least it's a chance to have someone else, eh? Think Cook has a solid CV, just never been promoted from the Championship. Looks to play good football too and wouldn't cost that much. As for Howe and Hughton their two good managers in my opinion. I'm personally not bothered about blooding youth however I acknowledge that it can keep you ticking in the long run i.e Southampton. Pretty sure Bryson has said before that McClaren's man management was horrendous yet got us to a play off final and is highly thought of by most on here. I hope Cocu can slowly get us moving upwards but I don't think he'll get us promoted and I'll be very unhappy if we pick up 0 points from the next 2 matches.

Vocal in the presence of the decision makers, yes. I think people would’ve voted with their feet and we would have lost a lot on the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we really know in terms of what’s going on, who we are targeting, what fees we have agreed, which players we are targeting, which players we have missed out on, what wages are our players on, what contracts have we offered, are the players putting a shift in, what is PC preferred style of play, etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not including the loans they have had, Jack Harrison for 3 years now, Ben White, who they bid £40m for, and substantial wages on Kika Cassila. They also tried to sign Dan James for £10m. So it isn't like he has had to scrimp and save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I mean i'm pretty sure the lad that scored for Watford is worth more than our entire squad right? Thought we were the better side overall but obviously we are lacking up top, Lawrence made a massive difference. If only we could have Lawrence, Joswiak, Ibe and a big strong CF on the pitch at the same time we'll win some games. I have concerns sure but i'll make the true judgement when he has a fully fit squad. If we can get Waghorn & Bielik back fit that will make a huge difference.

First win in a ten game winning sequence where they hit over 1.5 goals in 8/10. We were poor, however, granted with three goals in ten minutes approx. Browsed results for the other games, 0-2 HT at Reading, at least we did net & the defeat came after four Rams straight wins. That's the Championship for you, unpredictable. Sunderland similar, we went on to beat Cardiff a couple of weeks later. Yes, we were equally poor in terms of defending. Three nil after 15 minutes at home. Seriously, when can you remember that happening? And all the goals occurring within a five minute spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday afternoon kickoff I think and we ended up getting stuffed 4-0 or 4-1, but pretty sure Izzet and Heskey scored a few quite early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asanovic70 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yes, but what division was it? The Premier League. I'm specifically talking about the Championship, second tier. If you look at our home record, I think we've only lost more than 4 games a season once since Clough's sacking. I'm talking about the nature of the performance as well, three goals in the space of five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
