I agree, I said something similar when were in the process of appointing a new manager. I'm prepared to give LR the benefit of the doubt for now. I get the impression there's a bit of 'if you can't say anything nice...' about his interviews at the moment and you can't really expect him to say 'I've inherited a bag of sh*te and it's just damage limitation until May'. We might see a bit more from him when it's his team. It's only a small gesture, but coming out a few minutes early to applaud the fans shows he's making some effort to build a connection with the fans.
