These are the games that will determine our season and the Martin O'Neill era, not games we should categorically win (like Fulham/Wigan at home ahem cough) not top 6team games which are a bonus points, but games where we could win if we put a shift in. Too many times under Bruce these games simply slipped away from us under the mantle of 'we were unlucky' 'we created chances but didnt take them' 'defensive lapses let us down' however this is a new regime and a new start, lets all hope we've genuinely turned the corner and can head back up North with 3points. HAWAY THE LADS!!!
hmm MON is a good manager and I think he get us a decent finish at the end of the season, around 12th/13th BUT this is Steve Bruce's squad and I wouldn't expect MON to have stamped his authority on the squad until next season so as you have put it the Martin O'Neil era, don't expect him to work miracles, not just yet anyway
Dont worry mate not expecting Martin to bring himself on as a late sub roy of the rovers style and score the winner off his wispy bonce, just meant more hopefully this is the start of something good. On that note....... 7-0 Sunderland with MON surprising us all by revitalising Paul Mcshanes career and implementing him as captain and starting centre half. Now that would be a miracle!
