It's not like him being in for a couple more games is going to kill our season dead. If waiting means we get the right man then it's well worth it. For what it's worth I fully believe they will have someone in place by then.

In what world? They are already interviewing and we have a two week break.

Sounds like someone else we know 🤔🤣

There was a definite pattern to the play from goal kicks for example that wasn't there with Still. Often Macca would just go long. Baz and co played it short and out to the right a lot against Wednesday with THB finding quite a bit more success on his favoured side. I'm not saying he's made sweeping changes (no pun intended) but there was definitely a more deliberate action there.

Agreed. I definitely saw a much more deliberate move to play out from the back (I believe this is why he put Bazunu back in) and the boys were also shifting the ball quicker and trying to find the spaces.

What is this winning feeling…

The frustrating thing with Downs is he often makes good runs and find nice pocket of space…. It’s just everything else!

I said a couple of weeks ago I just wanted to see a professional performance. We’ve not covered ourselves in glory this half but it’s been a much more professional display than Wednesday night.

Plenty. Throw on Edwards and Quarshie!

Agreed. He’s got a touch of Hojbjerg about his play. I’m here for it.

Jander has been excellent today. Great signing.

Praying for a Downs redemption arc this season.

Bazunu just booked for time wasting. Did he not fucking learn.

Beautiful finish that.

Commentator “I don’t want to be a Bazunu basher…” Oh no, please be my guest!

I think it does show how important the 'fit' of manager to the club is. Failed misserably at Stoke and here. Flourished at Luton and Charlton. There's this odd element of chemistry and personel that non of us can properly predict. How many times have we seen managers who have been great at one club move on and completely fall apart at another. Only the very elite have the skill to adapt and change culture.

Yep. Just a gut feel but I think this is the most likely route Spors will take.

Yeah Struber seems to be doing a good job there. I'd just imagine that Spors would back himself and his knowledge of that market to try and bring in someone like Struber who shows high potential. It's not what many would want to hear as proven would obviously be better but the 'proven' options are pretty dire right now...

Honestly, I'd be surprised if the appointment wasn't German or from the Bundesliga.

If Gary O'neil is the answer, we're asking the wrong questions.

What do we gain by rushing the decision? I'd much rather they be thorough and get it right. A win last night and only Saturday's game before the international break so no need to push it through and not do our due diligence.

Maybe the most common sense thing SR have ever done. Welcome home Ori. 👏

No the one he plucked Scienza and Jander from preferrably. Yes Downs is shite but we've also brought in some good talent from there.

This is where we really could do with Spors dipping into his little German black book to find a decent keeper that's under the radar.
