He's got an incredibly tough job. We massively overperformed last season and lost some key players over the summer although kept a couple of important players too.
Watching the first 2 games, it looks like we'll struggle for goals. O'Mahony who we got on loan from Brighton looks well off the pace at the moment (although this could be to do with the lack of creativity behind him) and players just aren't linking up very well in possession - often passing into a space that nobody's moved in to or behind them.
At the other end, mistakes have cost us - especially against Lincoln. We should've got a point against Huddersfield at the weekend but we missed a free header from a corner and then 2 minutes later conceded to a corner ourselves. Otherwise, it could've been different.
But there's no getting away from the fact that we're bottom of the league having not scored a goal - which is going to be a big problem for us this season. Time will tell whether Noel's up to the task - I hope that he is otherwise his match worn shirt that's on my wall might decrease in value 📉
But... I don't really care 😆 Dai Yongge's bankrupt every previous club that he's owned so I'm just happy that we still exist!
What are your thoughts on Spurs this season? It looks like the injuries are already starting to pile up!
Are you going to Udinese? I got a ticket for my Uncle & Cousin so they flew out yesterday.
No I’m not going so the Waterford supporters club are going out watching it on the Spurs pub called the Mansion in Waterford so il head there. Interesting about Reading. Il follow it closely. Noel is a rarity in he’s a big of a mad bastard but everybody loves him . Men and women. He has that knack with people and that will go far in management as the players will run through a wall for him. Just worry what the other side of it will be like such as you said the tactics .
I'm looking forward to the Spurs game - I've started to like them recently, my dad was always a fan of Jimmy Greaves and he also went to the 1961 FA Cup Final. I'm just hoping that it's free to view somewhere - or on Amazon Prime like the Europa Final.
Exactly this! I've watched a few interviews with him and he talks a lot about getting the right players in. I've also seen him talk before a training session and he tells the players about getting stuck in and not to get upset "if somebody goes in hard". So I like that. But so far on the pitch, things don't look great. I texted a mate after we'd wasted a load of set pieces and before Huddersfield scored from a corner that we need a Set Piece coach. But we need more than that. After Lewis Wing went off injured (our best player), our oldest outfield player by a considerable margin was only 27 - so they're a young bunch.
Honestly, I fear for us this season but it's not surprising after 2 years of transfer embargos and internal destruction!
Have you a team for me for Last Man Standing ?
Just replied 🙂
