I still have no idea whether Sherwood is actually any good as a manager. Out of his depth at Spurs for his first job and Villa were a car crash club long before he joined them. Had a very good reputation as a coach.
Ajose has no done well at Charlton because they are playing the wrong way to suit his game but now Robinson has gone in as manager who likes to play football on the floor I get a feeling Ajose will start to score. Ajose will be absent for the majorty of most games but when he played for us in the box he made the right moves and bagged 25 goals.
When we played Charlton when Slade was manager a few weeks ago all they did was hoof the ball down the channels to Ajose which totally wrong for Ajose and these so called experienced managers sign a player who is a box player so sign him from us for that and then play him out wide I find it unbelievable Slade did that.
Kasim is a class act and so good in possession of the ball but will be out tomorrow as he's injured.
Regarding Sherwood he's made changes to the side in three league games and we've won the three. Before Sherwood came on board we were playing too much suicide football across the back and Sherwood has adjusted that and although we still play out from the back and through the midfield we get the ball forward quicker than we previously were.
I see one of your guys put on here about the amount of possession your team have had in games well for the last three seasons in most of our games we have had the majority of possession in some cases over 70% but still lost as teams sussed out how to play against us which is why Sherwood has twigged the way we play.
One of our best players is Doughty we have on loan from QPR who is a midfield player who normally plays centrally or can have a roaming role sometimes depending on the opposition and is a real box to box player so he has only come back recently as he's been out injured for a long while as well.
The keeper we signed from Liverpool Vigoroux (Chilean) is creating a lot of interest from Championship clubs this season Newcastle and Wolves mainly and is a great shot stopper the problem has been the defenders in front of him.
We have the youngest team in L1 average age 21 which is why Sherwood has said we need experience in the side which most fans realised at the start of the season.
If you like to play football and so do we it should be a good game for the neutral but our problem is were too lightweight and need a few physical players in the side - Thompson is physical but he's still out injured and Kasim is but the rest are lightweight.
Anyhow enjoy the game but not too much and we need the points and some of our players have been given ultimatums this week start performing or be replaced in January. Technically they are all good but all the fans feel they have been performing under par and maybe with a bigger crowd and that threat I'm hoping we turn it on tomorrow.
