FOOKING HELL we look a different side, were actually attacking, **** the MON tactics gerrin Paulo, way to go , much happier now
Delighted with that half. Busy, harassing, committed. AJ despite still lacking a bit of composure looks up for it at last, Whickham despite having a patchy half is putting himself about, Gardner as always working like a dog, and Kilgallon really superb for me. N'Diaye is a concern, looks terrified of a 50.50 and could cost us. Overall, excellent.
It's early days but we have shown more attacking intent in 45 minutes than we did all seasin under O'Neill. One or two players have obviously taken on-board what PCD has been telling them during the week.
Even if we lose this now, what an encouragement that we can get the 8 points we need. Even a point and we're all delighted.
I had only hoped for a point and would take it now , still not there yet but at least we are being positive and creating chances
Yes bollocks but I think we're getting a totally different style of play. A lot of players committed forward by the manager. I think we may be starting the magic carpet ride.
I know - don't worry no offence taken. What I meant was that it just doesn't seem like the disaster it would have been under MON. Something really has changed
