Is so true. The culture of pass to the nearest player, mostly sideways and back. Remember those old triangles where players were always looking for space to receive, then move forward positively etc etc.

Is correct. In a different environment, he might well be the answer, time to develop a new culture etc. But from pre season onwards, the pattern on the pitch has not been good, signs were there of a middling squad, no penetration etc. Then loss of confidence, a recipe for a relegation...

Yes, O'Brien did make a difference, wish we had him now tbh

To quote the Major in Fawlty Towers. No !! I won't have that. There was that one game in 2016 ... Seriously though, he was decent once upon a time, 300 games not to be dismissed, compared to loads we've seen and gone after one season in recent years. But yes, his time has passed, thanks Jay...

F**k me, why on earth did we appoint Vito with you about 😂😂

1. Instincts totally from a football perspective. I've been a fan for 50 + years 2. SOME of our new signings are proper players. But sorry not almost ALL. 3. "massive latent talent" - Christ almighty, and those are your instincts 😂😂 But I really want Matos to bring out the best in everyone...

Probably not. But maybe not far off. Trouble is we don't know if the players full potential is being achieved. And whether they can mesh into an effective team. Big input by a manager here. Culture as well. Sheehan was not the man. Time will tell with Matos. But I'm afraid my instincts...

Agreed. But unfortunately no matter what he tries, I think that this squad is just not good enough, the summer volume (not quality) of players hyped us all up at the start. Reality is we're average at best, moving rapidly to below average ..and I fear a relegation battle no matter what the new...

Hey cmjack, what's Mrs cmjack verdict now she's heard him speak. I hold great store by her judgement 👍

F*****g love it. He's got a pleasant little face is about as good as it gets for our managers CV's, gotta to be the way forward compared to any other factors in the recent past. I'm buoyed up now by this left field approach, my compliments and thanks to Mrs cmjack 👏

Is that the Scottish Premiership ??

IT'S HAPPENING GUYS...EMBRACE IT !!

I've thought about it. And maybe it's best if Martin returns. Better the devil you know and all that. He will now be a humbler person. Better for his experiences. I also predict no more fist pumps. No more stats overload. No more passing across the back etc. He will want to reinvent...

Not sure why this thread keeps on going. No way on earth is Martin coming back. Let's end it now.

Well, that Wales performance tonight shows how football should be played. What a difference pace and directness can make !! Now stuff like that can bring the love back 😊

Exactly. It's built into them to pass safely and short and sideways and back to retain possession. Killing the game. Pace and dribbling and beating a man gets bums off seats. There's no fizz or wow.

Ditto spot for me. Loved taking the piss out of those Blackburn fans 😂

Yes, for a lot of us, that's right. I saw the Toshack rise, then the Martinez etc ride. Tbh, if I could see us in winning/attractive mode from Div 4 ( old), I'd take it now over the drudgery in the Championship.

A bookmaker makes him favourite. Means F all. Bookies made Hellberg favourite..F all happened I don't know why people get worked up. What will be will be, we know F all what's really going on. And for the record, Hell NO for Martin. But not going to happen, let's get real.

Nothing against the guy, but I do wonder is getting a Championship club just a short stepping stone for him to the Premier League. His decision will be based on who is best placed to get him there.
