harvey54 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I know that we still have defensive frailties and that the sooner we get a dominating centre-back the better but it's difficult to believe that I am watching the same club that started last season so abysmally. We fight and press all over the pitch. We pass to feet, hold the ball up and move off the ball so much better. We support each other so that there always appears to be 2 players available. We have attacking options coming out of our ears and we finally have competition for places all over the park. The last two home games have been like a breath of fresh air and it's a pleasure to watch the way we are playing. Last season Cardiff would have rolled us over today and bullied us off the park but that didn't happen today and I'm really proud of the boys. Delboy you beauty. Go on my son!

GrahamC Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Good post. Like how he's solved the conundrum of how we can play 4-4-2, by having two quality central midfielders who can pass, tackle, cover ground and complement each other, too. Happy days.

Our central midfield is so important and Skuse/Pearson combined make the rest around them tick over very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben4BCFC Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I remember when we first appointed Del and St Johnstone fans said he would keep us safe then make sure we started winning games and preventing goals. A lot of people forgot that, and started to doubt him when we struggled. But so far, he's kept us up and got us winning games. We look like we're playing good football and all he needs to do now is keep the confidence up and secure us defensively. Give us a season or two and he'll definitely be pushing for us to get promoted if we keep up this progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 When we all seen the shortlist for the job, I was so desperate for the club to pick Derek as he just seemed to ooze class and will only get better with age. I had lots of people saying to me it's a bad choice as he lacks championship experience but look at us now, I don't hear a single fan saying they are dissapointed with Del. Even those who said he's been poor in the transfer window need to have a re-think. We all asked for a GK, CB, LB, CM, LW and a ST and we've so far got a very good GK on a free transfer, a top class left back who's only 21, an experienced CM in Morris and also signed Pearson on a perm contract, Anderson has came in on the wing but Woolford is like a new signing atm and Baldock and Davies have came in as strikers... that's more than we could have asked for and all we are hoping for now is that top quality CB to finish the squad off. We are only going one way and that is up. Gotta make sure we enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman_Stand Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The thing that impresses me is the continual interaction with the players, a far cry from Millen's reign whereby every break in play would go by in silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 agreed young energetic and ambitious....in all fairness i can see him guiding us to a very respectable mid table position this year, which given the bookies an pundits putting us as one of the favourites to go down would be fantastic...... i hope mciness will be with us for next few years, i am happy to eat humble pie in the fact that i did not renew my season ticket which was very misguided given the fact i hadnt given him a chance to have his onw pre season and signings....however i am very hopeful that we will be playing some entertaining football this season and look forward to the half year season ticket offers in jan. to think we had millen i8n charge this time last year and no hope see,s a long time ago now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 No doubt McInnes is a good manager but he has had the luxury of having a full pre-season and been able to off load most of the players that weren't in his plans. He's also been able to bring in several players of his own choice. He must be one of the few City managers that have had that opportunity so early in their City careers. That said, he's done the job very well so far. Now if he could only adopt such a attack minded style away from home....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 He was firefighting last season, now it's HIS team ! Very Very True........Been going down the Gate since 1957 and this is the first year for a long time that I have bought a season ticket. Sadly I knew I would miss this and Palace game and even worse have missed 8 goals !!! Given the time Del will get us where we want to go and hopefully this time, we will stay there.

HA HA, so did millen he had all last summer, and this time last year you were the only moron left fighting his corner that he would turn this club around.... you got embarrassed by his failures just like when Gary Johnson made you squirm when he put you on the spot for the slander you were spouting. We would of gone down if we had kept Millen...FACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
