New manager syndrome

Does it apply to us this time around?

 

Who knows but why not?
I've got a good feeling about tomorrow. Really looking forward to a positive performance and a great atmosphere.
None of my mates can make the game but today I thought what the hell, bought a ticket..and I'm going solo.. I know I shall be among friends when I get there..

 

There'll be a few thousand of us there tomorrow.

Nicky Barmby's Army.

 

I'm surprised at that but very impressed with our ticket office.
I called today to check tickets were available tomorrow. I knew they were more expensive on the day but they told me to buy one and collect at the ticket office after 1:30..
I saved the usual booking fee and the price rise..
The saving covers my first pint..bargain!! I'll drink to that

 

Ancient Tibetan saying..... I'ts better to be a tiger for a day than a sheep for a thousand years

 

That statement is wrong in ways, if the sheep lived in Wales it'd have a sex life any man would kill for.

 

Speak for yourself. I'd personally rather not have a sex-life that involved getting rogered by a Welsh farmer each night.

 

Don't think it will. I think it's a load of rubbish to start with though. A manager leaving is usually because the team is underperforming so you'd expect results to pick up at some point anyway. When the new manager comes in and it improves you remember it, when they come in and it doesn't improve you don't tend to notice (unless it's your club) so the syndrome becomes an idea, like 2nd season syndrome in the PL.

With us we've lost the last two games, but we're a top half side so you'd expect us to avoid defeat sooner rather than later and we're generally better away from home so this weekend is a good opportunity regardless of the manager change.

Having said that, the fact people believe it's real will have a placebo effect on at minimum the fans, but also possibly the players before they even take to the field. If that extra positivity they get from thinking it will work is passed on to the players then it could actually help.

Wow, I've even managed to talk myself out of my own opinion, I think that must be a first.

 

All of which is what the initial question asked.

 

Yeah but I'd started with one view typed in and then my mind wandered. I wasn't typing it all in and then not posting it.

All hail King Barmby!

 

Glad someone mentioned NMS, hopefully it hangs around for a long time, and come the end of the season we're appointing Barmby as permanent manager
