I call him the glue. He nits it all together. Absolutely head and shoulders above Amad as a 10. Amad should never play there again.
i have no problem at all with any one (or maybe two at a push) starting, i really like to see them get on the pitch with 20 or 25 minutes to go and i say again, they have done nowt wrong but that blend is needed.
Did TM not inherit this team that AN walked away from without any steel or experience, why do you think TM should do better than a manager that crapped himself and pissed off?
Could argue that was the newly promoted bounce teams seem to have it’s not like he’s pulling up trees in his new position is it?
Game management. It's not close. Neil is far superior with that. Neil asked and wanted to switch the blend. Didn't happen. He left, on his terms. We needed someone to say yes. Mowbray comes in. That's really it.
Other variables I guess. All I know is what I seen with my eyes. I have Neil the reason why we are in this league tbf
No arguments there he got us up and did his job but I didn’t think he’s done any better then Mobray for us this season you only have to look at the last couple of goals and goal of the month to see proof.
He still left the team he wasn’t happy with and left it to TM. I’m asking you why are you expecting TM to do any better than AN when he didn’t think this team were good enough?
For once most posters are singing from a similar hymn sheet... Not sure if i can add anything new, other than echoing or agreeing to many of the points made. We were relegation fodder today ( and were poor on Wednesday but were lucky and had a couple of v good moments). Some good strong players are needed in January, let's hope Speakman is on it already.
He isn't doing better. There have been additional investment between Neil and Mowbray jobs. He is doing worse. Point for point. Game management is levels below too. Just an observation mind. Don't want him out or anything. Just feel it was a yes man appointment and it won't be great with us. Less professional challenge.
So after a couple of hours reflection, I think we were really bad today, but the last 20 mins or so we showed signs that we are good side when we can string a pass together. We are in desperate need of back to back wins! I’m struggling to think of a time when we’ve missed a player as much as we do Stewart. He is going to get a hero’s welcome when he returns and deservedly so. Onto Birmingham now, can see a there.
I thought he'd have been ok in the 10 role tbh, but clearly not. Worth a try I guess, but as with the midfield Mobray waited too long to change it.
I keep getting wrong from my friends. I don't enjoy Amad at all. Watching the game, his full back gets forgotten about and he doesn't understand where to be on the pitch. Great on the ball kind. Can not play a 10. Winger only.
Dajaku goes from starting games to not even being on the bench. I’m not suggesting he should be in the squad, but it’s just all a bit random from the manager.
