Curse struck for sure at Carlise. Didn't need the announcement.
Was odds on DW would get it and well deserved.
Keep it up Danny boy.

Except for the organiser, who has redeemed himself completely and admirably.

Just seen this, got to say despite my reservations about him, he's done well and got us on an excellent run of form.
Need it to continue, so roll on more of these for Mr Wilson

Yeah there have been some major improvements.
The "playing football" part doesn't really bother me too much either way, sure it looks pretty when it works, but it frustrates when it doesn't.
But you're spot on with the Corners, Throw ins etc. This was a major gripe of mine before Speed (RIP) left in December last year. We never addressed it under Robson, Speed, Carver or Adams and we only temporarily sorted it under Blackwell.
Wilson has made major steps in the right direction, despite having to battle against the odds in many cases - Players demotivated through wage cuts/ relegation, Ched on rape charge, speculation on players etc, long term injured players Ertl, Taylor, Morgs.
Wilson has done what he HAD to do at this level and also stepped up in other areas.
But the big word of caution for me is that this is a very different level to what the other managers have worked at so its very difficult to make any comparisons. The only comparisons that we could possibly make to recent managers is Robson as he also inherited a team that had been relegated. So in that sense, Wilson is a saviour!

Yeah, not like good old Hoofball [:heart:]
That works every time and it's always good to watch.
Upanatem!

Hoofball as you call it has it's place and is effective. It's served us very well in the past and if the situation permits, I would be happy for us to use it. As for being good to watch, I'm not that fussed as long as its effective

Yes, football's not really the game for you, is it Swiss?
Rudimentary, physical, entirely lacking in flair or talent. No aesthetic appeal. Mind-numbingly tedious. It has to be...
Tug-of-War.
Sounds a bit like one of your posts

I think what Swiss means is that HOOF can be affective at the right time. 1-0 with 10 mins left we need the ball up front not tippy-tappy in front of Simmo. Man Utd revert to the long game when losing except its called a long pass when they do it

Ahhh so tedious Pinchy. Haven't we been here many, many times before?
It makes me laugh that you firmly believe that you know more about football than the rest of us on here.
When have I ever given my preference to make you think that I am a so called "hoof merchant"? I don't believe that I have.
I have always taken exception with people like yourself though and Arsene Wenger who think that the game can only be played one way, the game is about winning, we were inneffective in the way we played last season because we were so one dimensional. We had no plan B. This season we have a level of diversity.
If you want Aesthetics, watching Dancing on Ice.
Danny Wilson in fact doesn't even get his team to play just one way. Robson did and it was mind numbing and tedious with no aesthetic appeal.
Spot on Stanny, but there is no reasoning with him, he doesn't understand the different forms of the beautiful game.
I also bet that we've scored a number of goals this season from lumping it and getting a scrappy finish on it.

Actually that's exactly when we need to "tippy tappy" hoofing the ball up top generally means we lose position thus inviting the opposing team to attack. They can't do that if we have the ball...

Thats a matter of opinion and its a risk you take (or not). Some teams send up their keeper, leaving themselves exposed, but it can often cause enough confusion to create a goal mouth scramble
Wednesday scored their equaliser because they were a bigger team than us, they weren't able to keep the ball by playing tippy tappy football. We can now hold our own playing tippy tappy stuff. Against Notts County and Hartlepool, the crosses were coming in from both wings, were hitting the strikers and we got goals from it as we have finally got lads on the wings who can put the ball where the strikers want it. But for the last few years we haven't had a single winger that could do this consistently.
Sunderland beat Man City with a late goal by knocking the ball about. Newcastle got a late goal v Man U because Jones couldn't deal with a very long ball.
At the moment, in this division I'd advocate the tippy tappy approach.
But in the Cup, depending who we get...
V Wolves - I wouldn't even attempt the long ball stuff, we'll get no joy. Ball into wingers
V Brum - I think we'll have to mix it. Some long, some tippy tappy, but if we think we can just pass the ball about and keep possession then forget it, the ball needs to keep going forward with purpose.
One reason I didn't like Britton (currently lauded by some because of his high passing stats) was because he did nothing effective. He sat too deep, never played penetrative passes.
blade too long
we go again
4-0 back in 2nd
50 points so relegation avoided for starters in january
