Early Impressions Of Freedman?

I was more concerned about DF showing instantaneous indications of having a good tactical nous than him coming in and delivering instantaneous good results (they aren't necessarily the same things!). So granted, six points from twelve isn't bad going, all things considered, but is besides the point. You can still question a manager's tactical nous irrespective of form.

And so far, I'm underwhelmed!

It will take time for him to get the side how he wants it and we are unbeaten so that's a positive for sure but I don't expect even us to make play off on current form and playing style.

I expect him to make a few changes in January because in a way I feel for him for having to work with the worst 2 centre backs ever to grace the reebok in a white shirt.

I do think we've probably got more points in the last few games than we would've under Coyle though. I think we have to give him this season to sort Coyles mess out and then we'll see what he's capable off next season when he's got his own team in place.

Out should go Bogdan, Mears, Mills, Ream, Alonso, Andrews, Pratley, Sordell, Afobe (back to Arsenal) the sooner that lot goes, the better!

I actually feel sorry for Dougie, the stress of having to deal with this mess at his young age and for a salary of just £500K pa!
