Don't agree with that but he's had a few good games where he's been effective for sure.

They play a back four, how he is building the attack is less important. There’s a game on can we do the football basics lesson later?

Good first half, played Barnsley at their own game pressing high. Mccallum has been excellent again.

And when we get the high press right we seem to be able to give anyone a tough game.

He suits the direct game as well. Probably the best we have at bringing down high balls and bringing others in, even if he does have a tendency of passing back to the back line after he’s won it.

I don't think he's good enough at this level either but can still accept that he's had some good games too.

Try it, it doesn't hurt I promise.

It’s ugly as fuck for the second game in a row, but they’re showing so much fight that’s been missing at times this season.

Will be interesting to see how we set up next season if we survive. Do we add quality and go for good football again, or do we buy players to go more direct?

Can’t go good football on that pitch long ball and big boot I’m afraid, the pitch must be covered in divots

Quite. We've adapted to a gameplan where as Barnsley always play this way. Not sure how that makes us boring but I'll take it either way.

Better than Dion Dublin.
Best striker we’ve ever had. Surprised a top 4 premier league club hasn’t come in for him.

To be fair to Da Costa he’s at least trying to keep focused on defending on holding position

He still looks a bit shaky at times but v Rotherham and today looks more focused and trying to get things right.

What’s really important in a football manager is the ability to juggle on the sidelines to liven things up.

It’s about as relevant if a player smiles enough during games.

What do you want him to do, ride around the technical area on a unicycle? Juggle knives in his interviews?

Yep. Other teams think their own quality will eventually shine through & often come unstuck (like Brentford did vs Us for example). We've instead been pragmatic & totally outplaying them as a result.

Ah the smiling argument. Still have no idea what a weak expression has to do with anything.
