Yes your pre season assessment was excellent and very true. Good rationale.

so yes, Celina really can only expect to play on the left but that means dropping Norwood which id say isn’t a good idea. He works hard on the press (he was outstanding vs gillingham and Wycombe) and Celina won’t do that. I suspect he’s just not a KM player. Yet he’s not yet Been sent back…

I’d argue hat Wycombe was a very different proposition to Gillingham and we did indeed battle away and grind out a result. Def though it’s not going to be champagne football every game but I think he alluded to that when he said for Bolton it would be tactically different and that’s a good thing for me; he’s adapting to meet the specific challenge of each opposition over just doing the same thing every game as per Cook.

I'd say it's very difficult to know what a KM player is at the moment and he's probably not too sure himself because he's never had to be in that position before, he's just coached the players the club has which I'd imagine is appealing to Ashton.
 
I am not sure why several on here say they are miserable! Yes, its true that we had an easy ride at Gillingham, and yes it's early days for KM and so far he and the team have performed so much better than the previous regime, and yes, he is such a young talent and might be poached, but I for one couldnt be happier!

I suspect he will stay the course and be advised to see us to promotion, and then consider his options. Your CV looks so much better if you help a big Club turn around its fortunes and your owners backed you to the hilt, and you got promotion too.

For now, I am loving watching our games again and what will be will be. If we get another win at Bolton, then everyone will sit up. It will be a tougher match though.

Afternoon Gaffer, not miserable with the football, just my general default position in life, I don,t suffer from depression, but I seem to know quite a few people who do, not sure if you can be a carrier ???
After all the names that were banded about after Cook went this was a real risk, but maybe they had been in contact well before the sacking, hopefully he will want to see us all the way to the premiership.

I know many who find life pretty depressing at the moment and lots of remedies like seeing people face to face, getting outdoors, walks, exercise, healthy food, cut crap processed food, and of course watching a new exciting Club play lovely football!

Imo no point in worrying about KMs future with us. He will be loyal and he knows he can take ITFC up to the big time. He might even find a gorgeous Suffolk lass and enjoy exploring our lovely county! There is a life outside footie.
 
I'm also miserable, I was quite surprised how we were favourites for promotion this season mainly due to the number of players we brought in over the summer and the lack of a proper pre season. I always thought we'd have an indifferent start and potentially

If we perform the way we played against Gillingham every match, I don't think we'd drop any points for the rest of the season but that won't happen. For however great we were Gillinghim were poor and for a side known under Evans for being organised and robust they really weren't, they were second to everything. What will be interesting to see if how McKenna will manage a game if we're having an off day just to grind out a result

Today was obviously that day! Hopefully it is a game he can learn from.
