He writes a good read which is about the only way he appears capable of showing his passion for football and Bristol City to the Club's supporters. While this method gives us all a greater insight into his mind and the way he wants to manage / coach the team and it's performances, is he able to inspire the playing squad to match up to his rhetoric? On the evidence so far, no. I am , as posted a couple of days ago, still sitting in the jury room trying to come to a decision - Yeah or Nay?
I think one quote from S O'D summed this City side up, he said the Huddersfield match was the first time he saw the players as the City fans had seen them proir to his arrival and he wasn't impressed with the way most of them performed, it wasn't until Carey and Stead came on that he saw any of the pride and passion in the team again.
On the evidence of his cv at previous clubs Sean O'driscoll would be an outstanding candidate for any club. His record is superb particularly working within limited budgets. Clearly has the nouse. Who else brings that to table? His record is on par with the O'Gradis, Johnson's and O'neills if not better. His interviews outline what is a very basic stuff. BCFC has ran like a bag of ****, an ever expensive one. Time to stop that and turn it round top to bottom and there there is where this manager comes in. It is all simple stuff for a simple game.
His programme notes are excellent. He is not very good when a microphone is put in front of him - think we got spoiled by GJ who knew how to handle the media side of things (and enjoyed dealing with it)
