King Luke to Swansea

Just take the last game for an example of that!

As I said, some have very short memories!

The opposition have barely had the ball to score so the opposition goals scored to % of possession I'd imagine to be quite high. Yes we had a good record last season but some games we had the ball 70+% of the game. This season against better managers and players it's dreadful considering we're still in the 60+% range. Just take the last game for an example of that!

This is a very good point, I think we've had on average 65% possession over all games. It perhaps shows that our possession isn't punishing enough and we are appalling out of it

If nothing else there will be no more mention of “actions” rather than moves hopefully!
He did us proud during his time here. Turned a probably good team with no teeth into a motivated team an with the additions (that he has no hand in) managed a club who could score freely. But he neglected the defence and comparisons with Moniz were fair.

The question now is can the new guy come in and sort the defence and keep the flowing football we’re used to watching?
Can he maybe install a little more “not pass it round the back 50 times?”
Can he recognise Brindley isn’t a League CB?

Work to be done, but in real terms…we’re in a playoff spot on our first season back. Not a bad job to be taking over imo.

A bit less football & tighter defence. Think most would take it

With Burchnall it felt like we'd dated someone who was a bit below our level and they cheated on us.

Williams is the equivalent of a stunner who treated us respectfully, had an amazing summer and we've broken up because they're moving abroad.

Nothing but best wishes for him personally. If he does well here and potentially in his next role who's to say we won't see him in the England dugout one day.

I'm sure someone must have posted this already but I couldn't see it... apologies if so.

Yeah 5th in the table is terrible when we have a mid table budget ....awful stuff.

As Man Utd / Chelsea are finding out you can have all the money but if you have the wrong man steering the ship you're in trouble.

LW has said "several" times we play high risk football and we have reaped the rewards of that.

We can tighten up as some have said but we will lose the attacking side which imo is high risk in itself.

Less football?
I would hope that's far from the Reedtz brothers' minds. Good football brings the crowds in

I mean less around at the back, keeping the ball in play in& around our own box rather than put it into row z

Stall saying he's heard that Gavin Strachan has been linked with the Notts job.
