RedM Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I don't usually read articles like this but thatvwas a good read. A good insight for an outsider and pretty much as it is. Interesting to see LJ saying he has got 22 players he can trust, yes that trust word again. And Luke Steele's honest assessment of how he saw us before and how his opinion changed was also interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrote this after watching the Derby game. Good read - like so much of what we're hearing and seeing at the moment, it really does highlight how total our approach now seems to be, such as the drone recording training and the stats being used everywhere, as well as the great team spirit and squad depth. It's great we're getting such exposure outside the UK - imagine a certain little league team will be annoyed it's in their owner's region...

Nogbad the Bad Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Oh, and I suspect LJ meant he could trust the 22 players impeccably rather than 'implacably', which doesn't go together or mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Moonwalker Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Really good read, I'm hoping people take us a bit more seriously now we're getting the results against the big boys.

Edit: In fact I think it was 'in the country', so even bigger praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Ben Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Cole does a lot of work on TV here in the Middle East, at Bein in Qatar. So I'm not surprised he was accessible for the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted September 22, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Maybe the author is monitoring this thread because we were now in the top flight from 1976-1980 and LJ now trusts his players impeccably. If you're reading this Andy you just need to correct your name at the top now. Good article, thanks for writing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Didn’t we have similar written by Henry Winter last season? Just hoping we keep our heads down and do the talking on the pitch. It was a good read though. I liked the part about Johnson saying he went from 8th best manager under 40 to Bristol citys worst ever manager in 8 games bare that in mind Lee! Let’s not get to carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
