Before he arrive from Hammarby to form a decent picture or due diligence of the kind of players we have here? - Last few games before Rotherham? - From our preseason (including the famous clip of a goal scored against Wimbledon)? - Since the famous burnley win last season? - Or everything onwards from Beale’s time as he was known to be one in the shortlist (was he given a team profile and dossier on each player during the initial interview?) He seems to know from the off who our star and key players are, which talented players he can relied on to build his team around. And he alluded to chair, Willock before the first training session, and versus Rotherham we could see immediately Chair, Willock, cannon, Dixon-Bonner, Richards featuring I mean Willock who has not been the same for over a year? Richards and Dixon-Bonner not featuring much during GA time, and even if all those did their performances were nothing but ordinary? So he must have been tracking the team for at least a year or so to know this much, can’t be just only watching videos from since our Blackburn 4-0 drubbing say or the few sessions he had with the team. Nonetheless, everything points towards a very intelligent coach who knows what he wants and how he wants to play using the available players to achieve his goals. For once, after so long, I think we are moving on the right track (or back on track) to where we want to go and be as a club on the playing side. [Post edited 5 Nov 2023 1:35]
