    Is it just me or does it now seems clear Neil has no interest in developing young players. I appreciate when he came in the younger ones needed.a rest, but the more I think about it, the more it seems to me he wants the 'finished' article for that level

    I think it’s quite clear that Neil is only interested in himself mate. He is all for now and not the future, he is short termist but as long as his reputation is ok, he couldn’t give a **** about anyone or anything else

    This is a good point. The risk of using youth (and thus to his rep) must have been killing him whilst at Sunderland.

    still onwards and upwards, he’s got to get a good tune out of the players he has at Stoke as the hamstring of FFP looms.

    Well if it’s true that he’s huffed it because we wouldn’t let him sign Ruddy, Barkhuizen and Stockley then we’re well rid.

    Exactly this imo. Imagine throwing your toys for those two. It's laughable if true

    He has a tough start. After this evening, in September there are 3 away games and only one home one.

    I really believe that'll suit us.

    We play well on the road and the away crowd is more supportive which puts less pressure on the players. (No offence to home supporters, it's just that there are more casual fans who are quicker to groan at a misplaced pass.)

    It can be frustrating when seemingly decent sides like Norwich defend deep and kill the game.

    expectations also lower away, AND teams are more likely to attack us leaving space to counter, which I think suits us.

    Have to disagree to an extent.

    The expectation, of a performance at least, is probably greater ...

    ... but the away crowd is more patient because they've invested more, into the game, and want a return.

    They know that groaning can spoil the day out for them and affect the player's attitude and performance.

    If,as we believe,we're acquiring young,athletic,skilful players to add to those we already have, a counter-attacking style away from home should suit us.We do seem to have difficulty in breaking down sides coming to us to defend and spoil.
    I've enjoyed the way we've played recently....I'm hoping TM doesn't want to change it.

    We've all been crying out for pace and stamina for a decade ...

    ... now we have it you can see the effect it has on the enthusiasm of the crowd.
