Too much Mr Nice Guy from what I've heard from him. Too early to judge him so jury's still out IMO.

Speaking of which I'm looking forward to the semi-final coming up; unless Griffiths has his shooting boots on anyway.

If he's on form there'll only be one winner-if he isn't who knows. Would definitely be nice to get another crack at the Cup after last season's horror show.

Alright lads, good to see you all again. I think he is a bit of a superlative lover, but from what i've read on his managerial style he is a VERY good talker! However, the jury is out on his football when he was at Falkirk, but then again Scotland is more of a laugh than Jeremy Kyle. Anywho, here's hoping he keeps going, but we do need to pray Cody comes good!

Manager trying to build up confidence in his players shock.
He's only been here 10 days, but has already entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the amount of times he has used the word 'outstanding!'
Seems with him every performance from any player is 'outstanding' 'magnificent' or brilliant.'
We were poor today but every player Geoff Foster asked him about either put in an 'outstanding' 'magnificent' or 'brilliant' performance.'

As I say Torch, not trying to knock the guy.
Guess we are just not used to so many superlatives.
The only way the manager can go from here is to 'extra brilliant' '500% outstanding' and 'even more terrific.'
Besides, if he is trying to build confidence up for better performances it cleary hasn't worked. We were poor against Colchester and hardly any better against Hartlepool.
SP keeps saying Sheff is outstanding yet his performances get worse and worse. Maybe he'd be better off saying he's playing like a bag of wank.
We might get a MOTM performance out of Sheff then! :claping hands:

We were poor.
Hartlepool were just all the more dreadful.
think you will find you can play poorly and win a football match. We were much better than Hartlepool but you can't hold that up as any sort of beacon.
If we weren't poor then why wasn't that reflected in people's ratings post match?
The ratings of most supporters on here of the City team were quite low!

If he is any good with his man management skills, then I would assume that what he says to the cameras and what goes on behind closed doors are two very different animals. Sure we want honesty when we can all see it, but as a new manager earning the respect of his squad, I would be equally dismissive of his comments if he came out and slagged them off. Absolutely nothing wrong imo with backing players publicly even if it does go ott sometimes.
A well oiled pr machine that is SISU, will probably give him some help in this regard.

because they are the same fans that boo at a pass that goes sideways or backwards
only ratings that matter are from intelligent fans like myself.

I am one of the few that when we play well and lose, say we played well, rather than the many on here who just judge by result only and if we lose say we were poor, no matter how well we did play. Crewe at home in the JPT is a case in point.
I thought we played really really well, but got caught out 3 times on the break. There were some who said Crewe deserved to win, yet we had 4 times as many shots, hit the post and bar, had their keeper play a blinder and we dominated possession too!
I say we were poor on Saturday because Hartlepool were so awful. They never threatened once.
Had we played even half decently we would have thrashed them.

hartlepool have been a form team,yes they looked bad but howm uch of that was down to our better focus on pressing?
we will know better after pompey game but to label us poor in a game we restrict other team to no shots on goal is just crazy

Even though they didn't score a single goal in any of their 3 previous matches either? That's 360 minutes now without a goal.
Was listening to CWR pre-game and the Hartlepool commentator was saying they really struggle to score and it's been a real problem for them. They really struggle to create chances anyway.
Common problem for them all season long.

oh so they are only a form team when it suits your argument? lmao otis your having a mare today
i think you have mistaken a poor game for poor performance, a little mistake if not a tad idiotic

They had been on a great run of results, fact. Impossible to argue against that, even for you.
The Hartlepool bloke though before the game on the radio quite clearly said that they struggle to create chances. That is a fact too. I had no idea of that fact until he said it. I hadn't checked their results past the 1 defeat in 9 they had, had. Didn't check the results themselves.
They had failed to score though in their past 3 games. That is now 4 games including ours. That is a fact too.
Only you could describe such a thing as idiotic.
I thought we were poor, you didn't. Are we not allowed to have different opinions? You think you are right, I think I am right, doesn't mean either of us are.
Unfortunately you always have to resort to name calling when you disagree with anyone, and that is a great pity.
I think we were poor. That is no way idiotic.
Except obviously in Covcity4life World anyway.

name calling????????????????
just tihnk its odd that you agree we played well vs crewe but in games vs colchester and hartlepool where we could have won 3-4 nil if taken chances that you think we were poor

Didn't you say that Santos who played for Arsenal was a top class player or was that someone else?

no i said he wasnt an "average" player
the guy i was debating with also said murphy had an amazing game in the 6-1 loss so i felt i came out alright with that one
too much sensationalism goes on imo, there are prob some english fans out there who think robinho is crap because of his average stint with manchester city, but the guy did well before and after at madrid and ac milan,i just dont like to write off players so quick
santos was good at fenarbache and internationally with brazil, i liked what i saw of him early on at arsenal,sure he dipped and ended on poor form but seeing cov fans target him as if we wouldnt even want him just made me cringe
he was below average by premier league standards. Of course he'd get in our team, we are in the third tier of English football. I saw Santos before he went to Arsenal I thought he couldn't defend then and that was proven in his stint at Arsenal.

santos may not have been top 4 quality but he was premier league level.
he was an attacking FB, wenger must have knownw hat he was buying him for, not all full backs have to play the same way
its like robinho again " he doesnt track back", to that i say...so?
I'm not disagreeing about Robinho, he is a good player. I personally think that most premier league teams (with the exception of one or two) have a better left back than Santos. Evra- better, Clichy/Kolarov- both better, Assou-Ekotto- better, Monreal/Gibbs- better, Cole- better, Baines- better, Enrique- better, Santon- better, Luke Shaw- better, Rangel- better, Ridgewell- slightly better. I simply going on having proved it in the premier league. Santos may have played for Brazil but for me Brazil have had some poor defenders represent them over the years. Luckily for them their attacking flair means that they can cover this problem.

yeh only a few names there i would disagree with tbh
but brazil like their defenders to be able to attack,attack is best form of defence sometimes, thats how santos was schooled, he might have been great fit for england i just didnt think he deserved such ridicule before our game
the guy i debated with noted bakers cross came from santos side and showed how shit he was...6-1 we lost...6-1.
back to hpool game im not saying we were brilliant,not even clsoe,but we were not poor imo
I haven't had much of a chance to go at all this season, therefore I never post on games I haven't been to. I am currently involved with a local amateur team, the fastest growing club in the local area I'd say haha. But as Ian Holloway once said sometimes it don't matter how good looking the bird is as long as you get her in the taxi, or something along those lines!
