I don’t think people think we’re suddenly a brilliant team. What people are responding to is the posters who claim there isn’t anything noticeably different.. Putting aside whether you prefer a Maloney style or a Ross style, there can’t be any real debate that there is a different way of playing surely. Before you even consider what has happened in the game they’re set up differently for a start.

I suppose it’s just a coincidence that the people not seeing anything different were vocal about the sacking of Ross (or appointment of Maloney).
I wasn’t particularly vocal about the sacking of JR - as it was clear for whatever reason he would never be accepted by some and therefore for the best. My gripe was the treatment of him by some fans from the start. I had people on the bus for the cup final telling me with a straight face he was worse than Butcher.

FYI I am delighted with Maloney’s appointment - the sort of move that has worked well for us in the past and I like the coaching experience he has had.

Of course he will have his own ideas on tactics and has changed the team up both times. I’ve admitted already I don’t have this deep knowledge of modern tactics that others appear to have but to claim such an apparently
“night and day” change on such a small sample size is ridiculous.

The main criticism of JR was poor football. All I’ve said is that the 2 games haven’t been super exciting and the first one was God awful. So yes he will undoubtedly do things differently but we still don’t know if it’ll give us this incredible football everyone seems to think we’re entitled to.

I am 100 percent behind Maloney and hope he gives us what we all crave - I’m just not going to say it’s here after 2 games. Surely that’s fair?
