We need someone who’ll focus on us and not set up for the opposition every week. That has only led to confusion for us.

Stick broadly to a way of playing and develop that. Performances will come and so will results.
Unless it's Martin/Williams crappy way.

Hopefully we’ll be a bit more direct in our attacking. Maritimo had the least passes per defensive action so we shouldn’t see as much pointless passing.

I still think Williams and Martin get a bit too much stick, but I know I’m unlikely to change minds on that!

A bit of both is needed, I remember Laudrup was excellent at looking at how to exploit team's weaknesses
 
I liked his interview!
Seemed very relaxed, confident and understood or referenced part of what made us successful in more recent years.
I may be projecting this, but I get Martinez vibes about him. Maybe just similar accents, but if he starts saying I love this clooob and waring tan shoes then I may get worried about Wigan poaching him. 🤦‍♂️🤣

Liked how he wants attacking football, dominant and aggressive with and without ball.
If he can do that then he will get the fire in the stands that he asks for 🔥🔥🔥.
Yep, it isn't really hard. Attack more = score more = win more.

Fuck this cautious nonsense we've been subjected to recently. God knows why Sheehan et al thought it was the way to go
 
Start of this thread makes some interesting reading 🤣
You could go over 1,000s of posts and look back at the start of a thread and have a smile or giggle to yourself.
You will find there is normally a solid core of posters who have said things that have made themselves look silly after time. It's the ones who don't accept it and still think they are on a pedestal of knowledge that make me chuckle 😁

I'm way down on the dinner table floor unfortunately 🤣

I had that very same conversation on here the other day 🤣
 
When does the risk/reward convo start?
We starting to see the rewards of his appointment already. The feel good factor is starting to return slowly, I get the impressions attendances are stating to improve along with some players performances.

If you take Jay Fulton as an example, he looks like a player revitalised playing for this manager and his infectious personalty.
