Joe Royle 4 on debut wasn't it?

17 starts in the league, 12 missed out injured, under a manager who a lot of people would have here in an instant. Got to be something about his play other than goals, assists.....

Or more likely the sun was in the keepers face it being a lunchtime kickoff, so gave Max that problem

One for the fans as was Tomlin.

Exactly this. It's about him and his tactical ability to outsmart the opponent. How well the team did this or that according to the way he set them up. As I think DaveFevs said elsewhere, he's always tinkering and changing according to the opposition rather than let the opposition blink first - because he has to outthink them rather than just outplay them. LJ was exactly the same - head-to-head with Mourinho for example, looking forward to taking on Pep - he said as much at the time. Maybe this is what's behind winning and losing streaks, perhaps .....

Sir Alex Ferguson made exactly the same point when ManU played in grey and said they would never again.

If they were not going to renew NP's contract, then I don't really see a more convenient time, given they would not be buying in the January window if not keeping the manager. Had to give the new man time to assess the squad first before window. So, timing was as good as it would get IMO.

Yeh, Liam Brady destroyed us!
