The majority of promotion winning teams pick up most their points from home, The majority of fans watch home games only Good home record is a must johnsons home record is as disgraceful as the performances we've had to endure at home, Give me winning anytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst of all worlds. Lack of control (good possession) lack of creativity ie flair, lack of chance creation though the conversion rate decent and for all that you'd think defensive security. Err..no. Goals conceded and chances conceded put paid to that! Agree Mr P. I’d say we’ve build more territory pressure through possession under Holden in 4 games than we have in countless games over the past 18 months under LJ. I can’t really think of too many games in that 18 months where we’ve had a team “under the cosh”. 2 hours ago, P'head Red said: I think it's going to be Hughton, can't see the Gerrard rumours being true. I think the Gerrard rumours are very true, but they are all pretty consistent in saying stuff along the lines of “we are trying but it’s unlikely”. And I agree with @JonDolman that it would be a massive gamble....I’m just more open minded than him about it. That doesn’t make me a better person or Jon worse, it’s just how it is. On the flipside....Hughton (not Houghton) is my no1 choice, but I’m not that excited either. Weird innit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love Gerrard for the entertainment value over the more dogged approach from Houghton. Personally, I would prefer an overseas Head Coach who is used to winning trophies. Another Espirito Santo. This route will not happen so my big fear is that SL will not gamble, in his opinion, and we get another young Third or Fourth Division rookie.

Lrrr Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 The singular benefit of Villa potentially staying up would be them probably not looking at Hughton as a potential replacement for Smith....

We got to his car in the Wickes Car Park as Agard was missing his penalty! My Dad left early [ he wanted to do that a lot mind] when we were 4/0 down to Oxford the first year the Dolman was open. Early in the season were top Oxford 4th i think, he tried to get out of the ground after 20mins but don't think he made it until H/T. To be fair bless him he was a typical City fan. Even went back to the car when we went 1 down to Walsall last game in the promotion season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
