it's noted you don't disagree with my post.
Note what you want, it seems like you have a proper stiffy every time we lose
Now that is just a very odd thing to post. Are you OK?

Ok, let's put it another way.
You post much more when we lose.
Why is that?

nasserblueAsk yourself this:
Are any of the players better now than when they joined us?
Are we greater than the sum of our parts?
Can we get results when we play badly?
How many more points would we have if John Eustace was managing us?
How long will Thomas Frank be available?
Keshi lmproved under CD and in the end that even turned sour. I would say roberts and gray have exelled under him but can't think of anybody else Man manager he is not.

Pretty hard to know on most of them, given we didn't watch them play for their previous clubs, doubt anyone had in-depth knowledge of Klarer, Cochrane, Wagner, Iwata, Ducksch, Neumann, Solis, Paik etc, some of them have probably kicked on under us, since some of them have been very good.

Redditch BlueMost teams will take the majority of their points against sides lower down the table, hence the table being what it is.
coventry have taken ALL of their points from teams below them. FACT.

WelshBlueBluesince62 F.E.A.David XavisLe ModI'm not absolutely wedded to it but I'm Davies IN
Squad was horribly unbalanced until Jan. Since then 18 points from 10 games which is solid, the last two games have been poor but it's hardly a crisis.
A lot depends on how we end the season but we've rolled the dice many times before and it's not worked out, so there are no guarantees. If we finish relatively strongly I'm sticking.
It would be nice to start a season with the same manager and the largely the same squad for the first time in about 15 years.
This is where I'm at. I think they will pull the trigger though.
Me also, not sure they will pull the trigger - if he can put another run together and get us a decent finish then I'm IN. Stability would be good, though of course stability at any cost is daft, he has to show he can improve us and imo that's still do-able.
He needs to be better at the human side of management. And also, sometimes, letting players play. I bet he's great at FIFA.
The best coaches make players feel loved even on a bad day. Klopp was great at that.
I'm not sure he has it in him.
Yeah, I've never felt he would be an 'easy' manager to play for. He comes across as very driven, intense even. Doesn't strike me as an arm around the shoulder sort. I would think he demands excellence ALL the time.
Then again, Cloughie wasn't a very forgiving kind of manager either. Doesn't automatically mean that his sort of manager can't be successful.

Fair
Though if we think back to when he was appointed, it was against the backdrop of real anger regarding the players, the culture, the lack of care and pissing about, and a lack of standards which culminated in relegation.
He was brought in to fix those things, to bring discipline, to drastically raise standards and professionalism, to make us winners again and raise day to day standard, you're either in or you're out, there's no room for sentiment or feckin about, this is a new Blues'.. that sort of thing.
So it almost seems a little harsh for us to criticise him for being incredibly intense and a hard line disciplinarian, it's why he was brought in, and why he got the job in the first place, and he has achieved all of it to date, imo, in terms of raising those levels.
We now have a little moan about us having too much of a plan, for many years we were a basket case without a plan at all.

Ridiculous all this Davies out talk. He comfortably won league one and has comfortably kept us in championship in second season. Some fans need to get a sense of perspective. Improvement each season is the key, not instant success only being playoff/promotion
I’ll add to that pretty much two new squads each of those seasons

Posting more after a loss is normal. Mutual happiness is boring to read about.
B47bluesDocky91My Blue HeavenAnd yet he’s asked the club to bring in more powerful players and a ball winner in midfield
Didn’t Leicester have players like Ndidi?
He’s clearly adapting
You don’t think he’s bright or competent, I do. Probably not much further to add is there.
Honestly why do people keep bringing up Ndidi,
Ndidi himself has said how he didn’t play that role it shows how little you know.
And I said this a while ago; my assumption is the recruitment team had more input this window than they did in the summer. That’s only an assumption like the contrary.
But basically you’re praising him for managing to ‘adapt’ to a mid table manager. What a guy, all hail Lord Davies
We are one more defeat away from you bringing out your December classic “anyone who still supports Davies is a Villa fan”
I see you’ve stopped calling anyone who praises Paik “Mrs Paik” so I suppose that’s progress
1) logically conclusion, that or they have something akin to Stockholm syndrome for mediocrity
2) I’ve never once called anyone that praises Paik as ‘Mrs Paik’ my wit is above that. Ive called Paik Davies’ lovechild and i kinda stand by that.

I actually agree with this. I do not care in the
Slightest if a manager is a disciplinarian or puts his arm round players, I don’t even care about style of football if I’m honest. I care about results, and the results aren’t there for the investment.
So do most posters, doesn't mean I'm permanently erect or what whatever.
