I personally enjoy that he says what he really feels rather than just giving media trained platitudes. The press conferences are a lot more enlightening than they were previously.
BFR used to lie about everything. NFP used to tell very little. Nobody knew what the fuck CFP was saying.
I totally understand why people aren’t getting into the football. It’s a very tough watch at times. I’m trying to buy into the bigger picture at the moment and I like to think if we do get promoted we’ll hopefully acquire some better players and this style will look a bit less of a tough watch.
Football is a subjective thing at times. Some of us go to be entertained, some us feel that the result is the only thing that counts.
I don’t agree with everything the man says but I respect that he’s not here to bullshit us.. he’s called out the shit atmosphere a couple of times (which it is) and he’s told it how it is in terms of the playing style.. he’s not so cowardly that he’ll do something to pander to a section of the crowd that don’t like a style of football that just won Man City a treble.
I personally think it’s a tad unfair to go into the whole ‘emperors new clothes’ chat at this stage.
Re-assessing all the time though.
Reality is we’ve just lost two of the tougher fixtures on the Championship calendar.
I projected us to have circa 28/29 points after 16 games. So we’re 10/11 points clear of that. I’m not thrilled with the style of play but over the course of the 16 games we’ve been the better side who created the greater chances in the majority of those games and we are top of the league. The last three performances have been very ordinary and we’ll have to see if that trend continues.
We’re all entitled to our views on this and those differences should be welcomed though.
Keeping the faith (ish).
