Managers interview

[down-the-slope]

I have been an unashamed supporter of the manager:tin hat:

I like his interview where he can enjoy the positives, but still manage the required realism about how we look as if we can lose goals when under pressure, and need to learn to play on the front foot when not behind etc...good balance :agree:

Have to say that I thought he came across as a borderline simpleton.

:confused:

Just said as much in the PM forum.

For once, a sane interview where he clearly realises we still have big problems while praising the effort and commitment of the team (and fans).

Anything for a pop on a night of positivity. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't go that far, but I certainly wasn't as impressed as the OP. He still seems to be determined to damn Mark Brown with feint praise. He's possibly the reason why CC is still in a job.

:confused: rubbish..he was replying about number of saves made as suggested by reporter...his view was Brown had less saves to make than was being suggested...how do you make that not praising Brown? Also his running to embrace Brown at the end both showed appreciation and the passion that others have said is not there.

Still maintain he is both aware of potential, and the flaws that need fixing...preffer analysis that is measured to hyperbole or wrist slitting

Okay, maybe I'm being too hypercritical, but when the interviewer said it was a great game and a fighting performance, I thought his response: 'I don't know what it was...' was lame and made him look clueless. He ought to have said, 'Well, we've been stressing the importance of fighting hard etc etc...' It made it seem to me that the performance was as big a shock to him as it was us, and that didn't fill me with confidence.

Apart from boring me i don't normally have a problem with his post match interviews, i think he seems to talk sense and generally knows what went wrong and says the right things, i just think his problems come from motivating the players

It would be nice to think so. Quite cheerful actually, more than I have been in a long time regarding Hibs. I never thought I'd say 'I can't wait for Saturday' again so soon.

Calling it as I see it. There is plenty else to take a pop at.

Anyway, lets make do for now with this flower in the desert.

Neither do I but I think we have to get behind him now, he is going nowhere short term and we need to improve. And Everyone says he is a lovely man :aok:
