I thought he offered a quite a few interesting snippets on things behind the scenes. A lot of positivity. One particular bits of insight with Micky style was when PmC said Micky told Clark before the Motherwell game that he wasn't going to play him because he didnt fit in to the way the formation is set up but to get ready for the Hibs game because he will playing.
He certainly made an impact today. If that's all we get from him then so be it, because he was excellent when he came on against a tired Ross County. You could see the difference in him being a proper striker and Appere not. He was looking for that shot at goal as soon as he received the ball.
Let’s face it, under Tombola Robbie, nobody knew who the feck would play week to week, and often guys would come in from nowhere, others dropped after playing a blinder the week before, and that instability did not help players individually or us as a team.
I think Micky is much more up front, and if he drops anyone, will explain exactly why. I also feel players now know, that if not on top of their game or at peak fitness, he’s not frightened to drop you (no matter how important/senior you are), and refreshingly, youth is getting a chance. That approach keeps everyone pushing for a place (something McLean was famous for).
Really think we’ve hit the jackpot with Neilson leaving, and it’s generating a lot of positivity acoss the whole club, and the fans really appreciating it.
Edited to say: there is no way we’d be sitting on 7pts, had Robbie been still here. His negative approach would’ve has us pumped by the same teams we’ve played (because of his negative tactics), and as Gunboat would say that’s an Absolute FACT!!!

The thing is we all knew we needed to strengthen before the summer. Because of a number of things court case, being managerless etc it has not been the preparation we would have expected. If you said at end of last season we would have pretty much the same squad minus key first team players out including Shankland there is no way I would have predicted the start we have had.
If this is the start Micky can do with a depleted championship squad you would have to think getting our key players back and adding new signings we should be capable of avoiding a dogfight for survival.
Most of the pundits have been lauding the MM approach apart from The Pundit and Kris Boyd who thinks we will struggle but lets be honest they are the exception to the rule and are Huns,Funsters or both.
Lets be honest here its difficult for any Arab to take anyone seriously when you have the following career path
