I’d say just get him in till end of season. He is not with a club although he said he is done with managing. Just 6 months then we go again in the summer with Poch, nagkesmanm, de zirbi etc.
Sad he is a PE type coach based all on coaching manuals. There is no inspiration or motivation. He talks about phases and I bet the players switch off. He needs time ofc but he has had a full pre season and now over 30 games to get something instilled which should allow players to be able to come in seamlessly.
I think with potter he had a track record of playing good football even with limited players and budget. His time at chavs was a mish mash. Don’t think he was this low. Whereas Frank has real track record of playing free flowing attractive football.
And you think that is progress or good enough that we won’t be in a relegation fight. What was the point of appointing Frank then!
I’m not saying it’s good enough.
Two different things, mate.
Lange the Villa reject all of a sudden gets top
Based on your stats Brentford have over twice the number of through balls exclu today where they thrashed Bmouth. We got muller by them.Near half a season update on through balls for those interested, which has been a matter of discussion and bewilderment here. Let's start with the definition because simply posting numbers would be pointless if not disingenuous without knowing what they're referring to:
Not super clear admittedly, but still enough to allow us to create a mental image of some sort I reckon.
As a side note, assuming that Keith Andrews has largely kept intact what he inherited from Frank, it's interesting to see how low Brenford are also ranked there.
It would be a reach to call this a pattern with Frank and his teams based on this data alone, but there could be something there to take a deeper look at.
We ain’t even that as they our 4 points ahead of us. Have we scored 4 in the league?
Thing is Frank was bought into to improve upon what Ange had done ie winning something and get us higher up the league. All the while getting us playing football which had us defensively sound but also playing front foot football like under poch. If he fails in this then there are potentially a lot of managers available next summer. Are the club not gonna be interested in say Poch, glassner, nagglesmamm, de zirbi etc. Surely the club will think these guys are better than Frank if he doesn’t show any improvement over Ange.
