I like the guy i really do but even at this early stage with the players at his disposal not seeming to be able to string two passes together and woeful deffensive capabilities I can only see this being a sticking plaster appointment and the wound is huge. I am almost certain this is the year we go back down and that would only be the start.

I really hope not. It would be specially gutting to pass Cardiff on the way down.

 

[Treehuggerjack]

He makes more valid points than any manager we have had in recent years. They are only words though and let’s see if he can translate them to the training pitch and onto the field.

 

[IsraJack]

What i heard from him is that our main issue is off the field and it’s called bad dressing room and maybe the reason AS was sacked is because he couldn’t control it. The “restart”

 

[sit_down_jack]

Speaks excellently and has identified a lot of our problems, just needs to prove he can execute his plan now. We have to get him his back room staff as quickly as we can. Squad realistically has enough in it to avoid relegation.

 

[Swans Jack]

It's refreshing as many have said he says it as it is. In my opinion it feels he is hinting at how poor Sheehan and his set up really have damaged the confidence.

I think that may well be the case, the confidence is shot and Sheehan and Co didn't seem to offer anything in that department. I think I read on here somewhere that O'dea was calling the players C*nts, which I suppose isn't really a confidence builder.

Sounds like he has two main things to do, build the players confidence and find a formation that get the best out of them.

I didn't know that about O Dea... I think everyone can see there confidence is gone. I think Vitor will give them more confident and with him keep talking about counter press he isn't gonna except Key and few others allowing crosses in as this is something he said also. I remember a while back in a random comment Sheehan saying he doesn't worry to much about the opposition crossing its the defending. I think that is telling us alot.
