I thought Inoussa looked a promising buy in the first 5/10 games of the season. He was having an impact from the bench and looked sharp and skillful. Hes not really kicked on at all He’s probably the only player I think has gone backwards under Matos

Hull were mad to sack him He’s progressed well every season as a Manager and think he will have a great future career. He said in the past Swansea philosophy has influenced him. Would have been a good appointment after Luke Williams Not sure he’s right for Chelsea though. They are trying to...

Those draws against Watford, Hull & Millwall don’t look too bad looking at the current league table. I said at the time Watford & Hull both looked useful and a point in each game were good results for us

Would be a good caretaker option for them until the end of the season.

He’s lightweight and gets knocked off the ball too much This is something that can be worked on and like EOM has shown this season, it may take him a season or two before we see a more complete player

Got a long drive back to Watford tonight after the game so hoping the team put me in a good mood ready for the drive back

It seemed to take Middlesborough 2 weeks to get Hellberg & his staff officially confirmed so this would give a baseline how long the process takes

Also I think since brexit the terms/conditions that work permits are granted have changed

Would have been a great appointment few years back for us He’s gone under the radar a little bit- doing well at Derby getting them into the playoff spots and also got both Blackburn & Birmingham into the play off places last few seasons If I remember correctly there was plenty of people...

I appreciate he needs time - but our next 5 matches we need to be picking up as many points as we can to ensure we aren’t dragged into a relegation battle post new year. They are winnable games against teams we should be beating. We have a tough fixture list in January/February and a poor...

Someone on twitter says Matos has done his coaching badges with Allen recently at FAW so maybe not such a odd link

I would guess we are going to keep O’Leary & Margeston. The other 2 brought in last summer (Spearman & O’Dea) I think will leave as they were brought in as direct assistants to Sheehan Margetson has always been thought highly of & he seems to have done a good job with our first choice keepers...

I wonder if we’ve done a u-turn on Matos and decided to look elsewhere. If we were close to appointing Matos surely the statement would read that o’Dea would be interim for the weekend. The fact they’ve left it quite open ended suggests we may not have decided on the new manager yet

Hit the nail with this one. We had already spoken with Hellberg before sacking Sheehan and were confident of getting him. People thinking we should have 4 or 5 options as a backup of the same quality are deluded. For all we know Matos may be 5th choice and we’ve been knocked back by all...

Interesting to read that he did his coaching badges with the FAW in 2024 - same time as Sheehan I believe I would guess our paths have crossed during this time and this is where the initial connection has been made. Lots of risk but I think his knowledge of the British game & championship is...
