Its not exactly supportive but hey if you think thats a useful opinion then who am i to argue . Newell was shit not too long ago remember
 
Bloody Nisbet the wee fanny, efter missing two chances he went doon like a sack of spuds in a tackle. As soon as the ref blew for a foul, he miraculously got up and ran off!

I've never said Newell was shit at any point because I don't think he is. As far as I'm concerned lowe should be sent home in January because he offers nothing.

I never said you did but it shows how things can change under a new manager , lets see what happens once he's fit

We need a Chris Killen, and maybe Lowe will become that player in time. But he’s not anywhere near that yet, so he was a strange signing when a proper physical 9 is pivotal to the systems we’ve played for years under SDG and now Marink.

He’s got a wee bit about him technically but is just too slow I think, something a lot of the Stoke fans mentioned on their forum with one describing him as the slowest player they’d ever seen. Is he still back at Stoke having treatment?

Still think he's a spreadsheet prospect.
Matches Bowie almost perfectly in the physicals.

I'm also on board the reedijk train BUT Im a bit worried how much everyone is proclaiming him as the Messiah - I get the excitement and the relief and it's fun to get carried away but as a club we need to take a game at a time and not get too high or too low result to result

For me it's more about how obvious it is that things are changing.
There's a clear identity about what he's trying to achieve and week on week we're getting closer to that blueprint.

Even if we single out a couple players, 2 I've argued since day 1 don't really work as a midfield pair.

Chaiwa isn't a pivot, but he's learning adapting and improving in that spot.
Mulligan isn't a box crashing right winger but he's clearly been guided into it.

Then there's Newell who I've always thought was a baller, has the shackles taken off and he's being allowed to express himself.

McGrath who I'm not hot on as a central attacking midfielder is dropping into pockets of space and being afforded a little time on the ball.

Klidje (with a J) has had zero confidence before now, looks to be building himself up.

He's a proper coach imo. He's not a footballer who's graduated into coaching/management, he's dedicated himself to learning his craft and has his identity all figured out. There's not a backwards step in him.
He wants to win every game, Dave wanted to avoid defeat. That's a huge difference in mentality for me.

There's gonna be some tough moments, but as long as we can see the steps we'll be alright. Maybe better.
There's room to smash our way through this league, there's a cup final on the horizon, and even though Dave got us to the semi, but nothing about me believes we would've come through that tie with him still in charge.
 
Very true, in recent years a lot of manager's have tried to adopt a possession style and slowed the game down.
Meaning, if we have the ball, the oppostion can't score. That turned into boring football.

Quick free kicks and throw in's keep the game moving.

That's it, we are dictating the tempo, we are dictating the game.
