Was it just my reception on Skye, but they advertised the game as Huddersfield v. Leeds

Excellent result in the end after a really poor first half where awful passing and lack of intent against a Huddersfield side who were so much more up for it caused us all our own problems. Yet again took us until after half time to get going and whilst today we overcame the deficit in some style it was against a poor Huddersfield side. Not taking anything away from a great result but we cannot afford to keep doing this and squander a first half because better opposition won't allow us back into the game so easily.

Great goal by Yokuslu and, yes, we do need to try and sign Mikey Johnston!

Make the Johnstone deal permanent now!

We can’t at this point for a number of reasons.

If I was Celtic hierarchy I wouldn’t even discuss a deal at the moment, they might well change manager at the end of the season for one thing.

If they do decide to sell him they might as well wait to see the level of interest from other clubs as there’s bound to be plenty.

If we were that confident in our scouting we should’ve had a clause to buy him inserted in the loan deal, that in itself is dangerous when you look at how poorly the Marshall deal has worked out so far.

We still don’t know which division we’re going to be in next season and who we’re going to lose due to FFP.

The churn in players could be massive this summer.

It’s wishful thinking in dreaming he’ll be signed up now, it won’t happen, he’s more likely to be playing against us next season…..alas.

Unfortunately everything you’ve said is true. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Nothing.

Gobsmacked Tipp! Seriously. Even if we didn’t make the play offs he’s still the best manager we’ve had in decades. I believe we will though and wouldn’t be surprised if this Spanish footballing genius got us promoted this season. I’m dreading the day we get someone else tbh. So many average managers out there.

Agreed boingy, and remember, some would not be happy with Guardiola… 😜😎

Corberan came off the Bielsa coaching tree, probably some of his assistants as well, it’s often worth looking at succession in these situations, next cab off the rank mentality.

There’s loads of good young coaches around nowadays if you look around the divisions, like the guy at Ipswich for example and Southampton’s manager.

What we need to steer clear off is the hardy perennial types like Bruce, Allardyce and the rest of the ten club managers.

The lure of home might end up being the pull for Corberan, especially with him having at least one young child, you could see a Villarreal or Valencia job with European football being on offer at some point.

If I was Shilen I’d be sitting down with him and seeing if I could get him to sign a five year contract with massive incentives involved.

I’d also be saying to the fans, you love the bloke, you rate the bloke and so we’ve signed him up for five years, if we have a bad run or poor season he’s going nowhere.

Personally, I’d have wanted to be a one club playing legend at whatever level and I’d have loved to have been a Crewe, Dario Gradi type manager of huge longevity.





Without the kiddie fiddling scenario.

Yes, I was delighted with second half performance and the final result but you still have to ask the question, especially away from home, ‘Why do we start games in such a slow, ponderous and lethargic manner?’ I don’t think I’ve witnessed such a difference on two halves in all my years following Albion.
