Congrats to PT A lot of youngsters and loan/trialists but you would expect a win....but this is football and its not the first time kids find out they arent the finished article and need to knuckle down. Hopefully it will be the kick up the proverbial they and C O'L need. If results dont change in a few weeks, then I would say there may be a problem...but too early to fret yet.
After our abysmal showing last season it is time for O'Leary to step aside, we need someone with a bit of tactical knowledge to train our youngsters.
I didn't watch any of the U21 games last season so probably shouldn't really comment, but could it be one of the few occasions where our hearts ruled our heads? It's an incredibly important role he has in the club and maybe not one we should have given to someone who was still cutting his teeth in coaching? Still early days, but it's really important we get this area of the club correct. I hope he's doing everything right behind the scenes and we have to remember results aren't that importnat but style of play and skills are, fingers crossed.
its under 23's i believe...and we need time to build the team up. o'leary is doing a good job and with trunds help when he is not doing his ambassadors job then eventually they will get better....It wont happen over night...
Towards the end of last season the results began to turn in our favour with a couple of very decent victories, Bristol City ,Colchester & Millwall being a few examples .He didn't take over the squad until Xmas time ( I stand to be corrected) and Saturdays game was the first competive match this season Would we have been shouting for Mr Laudrup's head if the recent victories had not been so positive . I agree the results weren't great but to call for change this early is a bit premature imo Last seasons table Pos.
