Tarbs i think you might have forgotten who put this squad together. Scowen, Freeman & Baptiste all Holloway signings.
Robinson at CB appears to be a shrewd move. He's got Luongo playing to his potential and milks goals from smith and sylla,
To me that seems tactically sound.
Well said awin, even if you doubted us a few games ago
But look st the points we've got from the top sides. You are entitled to think rowett might have got more from Freeman, scowen and Baptiste but with rowett we wouldn't have got them. Swings and roundabouts.
Is swings and roundabouts. Who is to say who Rowett would have attracted that Ollie wouldn't have been able?
I suspect few would have taken the job and even fewer who would have a clue how to stop the rot (many managers with better pedigree have tried and failed).
Holloway stopped the malaise on the pitch, off the pitch and recently the stands.
He certainly isn't a pochetino but I believe his thinking outside the box could prove a huge bonus.
He has created stability in the team and formation. The lucky lottery of selection seems a thing of the past.
He has given players confidence and seems to have rid the changing room of bad eggs.
I would love to have seen rowett, quality managers that he is, make the same wholesale changes and done any better.
Thats exactly what i meant awin in my reply to tarbie about bringing a tactician in, most if not all wouldnt of got what we`ve got going now in my opinion.
Discussing Rowett as manger is the definition of 'academic '. You are right, he was available, was acting as a summariser on Sky post JFH,as I recall, so they asked him whether he was at all interested. Should have seen his face change, pure disdain. More chance of lining up Zidane.

Not so sure about that mate. Rumour doing the rounds was things started going sour for him at Brum when he tried to use an offer from us to get a new deal. Rumour of course, but we definitely interviewed him. Guess he was a more expensive option than Ollie, but I very much doubt he was out of reach!

I agree,Holloway will do as hes told and will get a limited quad playing well ,he won't break any eggs but goofs enough to keep us up,hopefully with a few points to spare .
