Andy, think some times part of Hills tactics will resemble Parkinsons and theres nothing wrong with playing a long ball up to relieve some pressure. Even a hopeful hoof.
Difference is that will be Hills Plan b, c or d. Not Plan A and not every game regardless.
Often when a manager says we will take the positives fans know its a throwaway comment. Football cliche basically to say wasnt my fault. When Keith says it you know he means it and id say 95% of the fans believe it too.
Will say though that when Lennon came in he talked the talk, we looked great. Chung lee was orchestrating the team and we went from relegation candidates to possible play off sneak ins. Didnt work. Recruitment wasnt there. Couldnt hold onto Chung Lee and ultimately towel was thrown in. So hill needs to improve for the long term not just for the short term.

While fully apprecistive of evertthing happening at present, including the crowd creating a new enthusiastic atmosphere, just felt that as Sunderland started to master us midway through the second half Keith Hill might have made a substitution to help out tired bodies and minds, and particularly it called for Verlinden to be replaced in my opinion. It was also unfortunate that we lost Wright who was having a very good game, though penalty apart, Zouma made some useful headed clearances. It is worth noting some of the other results and League One positions at this time. Coventry, with whom our young players drew 0-0 in the first home game, are near the top, while Oxford, the team we also drew 0-0 with last Tuesday triumphed 6-0 in their away game yesterday.

Yes, Owen and Dougie as Neil did pretty well at first and were popular too....but then....
Differeny ownership now- sets another context.
And yes we are doing well against good teams. With a couple of strikers we'd be as good as any..if we can keep players fit.
