Danwal Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Not sure if mentioned elsewhere but I think he comes across really well in interviews. Didn’t know he was Irish, strikes me like someone who could really get a dressing room believing in themselves and also someone not to mess with 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Really impressed & delighted for him today. Odd situation when the manager is ill, but you can see why Nige brought him in. I like him, talks positively & a lot of sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 He sings from the same hymn sheet as Nige -it’s all about as one, pulling together- can see why he was brought in Im also glad the two head coaches are well thought of as well - great spirit in the camp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Yes spoke well after the game. At the moment still early days in the rebuild but more of the correct people in the correct places. A long job I have no doubt but early signs are good. And I am looking forward to the next few seasons and I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentRed Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Its odd how we allow the opposition to cross into the box almost unchallenged. We did it against Millwall (with Matt Smith waiting in the box) and again yesterday Tanner stood off 3 or 4 yards of the crosser of the ball for the Szamodics header.

weepywall Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 You can tell CF is buzzing after the win yesterday, watched the post Millwall interview and he was understandably disappointed, he has had a tough and unexpected week, all credit to him, seems a top bloke.

RidgeRed Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 CF and NP obviously close as former team mates with a history going back a long way. My view is that we are a bit more “grown up” these days. It was a criticism of the LJ years that he’d been given too much, “too many toys” was sometimes said. Not his fault, TBH, but it doubtless led to the tinkering and uncertainty, players sidelined etc, that we often saw. No such luxury these days for Nige but the impression when listening to Curtis is that the two of them are open and honest with no attempt to baffle us with the coaching complexity and excuses of recent seasons. That will be a blessed relief even if we only finish 10th-15th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
