The parallels are there;
- Ex-Everton Asst. Manager who came with a good pedigree and respected in the game.
- Young, Promising Manager with a good record at reserve team level.
- Made some good signings who put in good individual performances (namely Shaun Murphy, Martin Smith & Marcus Bent).
- Signed some dumplings too (Smeets, Gybrsprechts).
- Made panic signings (Launders, Sagi Burton).
All sounds a little too familiar doesn't it? Weir is showing as much aptitude in the early part of his managerial career as Heath did. Remember Port Vale at the home night match? Our next home night match is against Crawley, the same fixture of last season that was the final straw for Danny Wilson too.
I am fast seeing David Weir as a carbon copy. Something is wrong with the footballing level at Sheffield United and, despite it being so early in the season, the players seem to lack character and even match fitness!
In the first half we played some neat football and looked threatening. Hill, McMahon, Hall and Brandy being our stand out performers. Then the second half kicked off and we looked flat. At HT I was hoping that we could do enough to cling on to a 0-0 despite dominating the first half. Pretty much sums it up.
Do we afford Weir the same patience? I say yes, but if I am McCabe I make it all too clear that he has until 1st November to keep his job...
