I am by no means saying he could be a messiah but he steps into this role after a very difficult period as coach, essentially not a lot more than a fitness specialist under McClaren's manager/coach role. Okay we get tonked 4-0 by Norwich and were abject but he's had virtually no time to change things around and the team were already beleaguered by the run they are on.
Last night the team played with an attitude similar to the one when they were actually playing well before Christmas. They were more confident, less afraid, more attacking. Okay, I have no idea why none of our recent managers will play wingers but perhaps that will come in time.
He came here as a coach to learn to be a manager at a higher level. He has a very tough time ahead in the last matches but my question is, given how well he did at Kidderminster Harriers are we not actually giving this guy a chance to show anything as a manager? His record below as a manager...
Kidderminster Harriers
Played 103
Won 55
Drawn 21
Lost 27
Win % 53.40
He's 39, he obviously did okay in his first managerial role, he's not really had a chance to show anything as a number one and perhaps, just perhaps, regardless of Saturday's result, we are going to pull the trigger on someone who given time, his own people, ideas and players could do something? He's taken this on to try and prove a point. If he can guide us to safety, even by the skin of our teeth, does he not deserve a chance? I don't think he would walk and follow McClaren unless he has no other opportunity.
He cannot be judged on being a number 2 here so given that he has no choice other than to lead the team while we talk to anyone qualified or not to come in, should the board actually be thinking that he may, given a fresh season, be someone who could guide a young team to better things?
Just a thought... |  |

Make you think though, won't it? |
Totally different proposition as a manager. Board need to think hard now. | |

I liked the team he picked and the high pressing. Good energy, good commitment. Can't ask for much more than that all things considered. |  | | |

Can i advise waiting until the end of the season first before we all fall under a 1 win 'vvankfest'?'
may i remind you all that its 1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw. so an aggregate of 0!
nothing just yet to get excited about.
Although it is nice to bum someone in the gob for a change! |  |

When was the last time we bummed someone in the gob?
Swansea again under Warnock?
It is too early to make a judgement, but, Hemed looked like a completely different player today and WE WENT FORWARD.
Credit to Eustace.
I’d love us to have stumbled on a gem.
But it’s too early to say. |  |

Yeah... Hemed eh? There's a real footballer in there after all. I don't think I'd ever seen him tackling and beating players in midfield. He showed for the ball all-afternoon around Swansea's back third too. Where's he been until now? |  | | |

Haven't seen a single person say give him the job. Not one. But he's been I'm charge 3 games and one of them, today, was clearly our performance of the season. If you don't think he deserves any credit after that then I can only assume you are on a wind up.
Should he get the job on the basis of today? No. But if say he has earned himself the rest of the season to make his case. If we finish with another couple of performances like that then he should absolutely be considered |  | | |

Reading other threads, it's almost like the second coming.
Alluding to giving him the job etc etc.
Now i'm not going to say today was not a great day at the office, what i'm trying to say and probably making a horlicks of it, is its 1-1-1 in terms of wins, loses and draws.
Just a bit too early to syart saying 'he's the one', and i think if we get 2 more wins from the remaining matches, he ' might' be able to cut it at HQ. But as we know, things dont always go as you want them to......... i give you 2 points off the playoffs before Christmas, and Schteeeve was everyones darling.
Fecking football eh? | |

I'm not saying he is the second coming. he may still just be a naughty boy. But, here is someone who has obviously looked at Millwall and Swansea and gone, okay this is how we take their threat away. That's been pretty obvious in the team selection and almost completely different ways they've played in the last two games. How often have we seen someone outsmart a fellow manager? Not very often. | |

Nice to see a flexibility in team selection and set up.
That comment about McClaren being "superstitious" about continuity and not changing his team will perhaps be his footnote. |  | | |

Thank God for a bit of sanity and balance from Rangers Dave. I saw a post earlier saying these players were always wonderful all along - they'd just, presumably, got into a bit of a rut for four months! For the love of God!
Eustace wasn't McClaren's 'fitness coach' - get a grip! He was his, uh, coach! His experience is OK at best, with one club, in a semi-professional league. Norwich was an embarrassment. Millwall was an OK point, where we worked hard at least - though I note he over-egged it in his post-match interview telling us, McClaren-style, that Millwall were a 'very good side', so he still has a credibility issue with me for that alone. Today was, as I've said and we all feel, an unforeseen pleasure, albeit against a team with little to play for.
Perhaps I'm a 'negative element', but the fact that Hemed actually got his finger out makes me seethe with disgust over his previous almost relentlessly abject 'performances' to date, more than rejoice in his two goals. Manning and Scowen have been encouraging, I think. Eze, sadly, seems to be finishing the season with scarecely a whimper- itself an indictment of the McClaren/Eustace nightmare team. Ingram, Lynch, Bidwell, Freeman, Goss, Wells and the aforesaid Hemed will, I think, all go for various reasons, or should. For me, the nucleus I'd like to see for next season would be:
Lumley*
Furlong
BFG
Manning
Baptiste
Kakay
Rangel
Hall*
Scowen
Luongo
Wszolek
Shodipo
Smith
Smyth
Osayi-Samuel
Eze ***
Oteh
Chair
*with goalkeeper coaching
** subject to medical approval
*** unless we're offered silly money |  |
