[Archived] New Manager Part 3

[broadsword]

Why are people still quoting betting prices?! Oh please.

As for Poyet, why on earth he'd want to come here, god only knows. A step back for him, I would say.

[Craigman]

Thought Singh was in a pub in Blackburn last night. Someone put a picture up. Poyet would be mad to leave Brighton for us !

[Eddie]

and it is highly unlikely that the meeting took place in a pub in Blackburn.

[Craigman]

Although Brighton are playing at Blackpool today ?!

[John]

I am not completely against the idea of Black taking over like others - if we can't get a very good manager coming in what is the point?

That said, he could have done with another win to date, as so far, results been average under him.

Better managers than Kean and better managers than Black have applied for this job, that much is obvious. If we don't appoint an external candidate then it's because Shebby and the rest of the board have keaned up because they are ditherers.

[beerwins]

It's a Duglett!

[dwayne cage]

So if Blsck wins today anyone think he's our new gaffer?

[Black Burn]

Assuming Gus Poyet does agree to leave Brighton and come to us, how many of us will be happy with him? Personally, I think Karl Robinson and Keith Hill are getting a lot of underserved stick. Sure, they may not be top managers, but reading the last 10 pages or so you would have thought they are worse than Steve Kean.

[T.J.Newton]

Keith Hill would be my prefered choice amongst the lower profile(or unfashionable candidates).

[T4E]

That's a good point.

I suppose the point I was making was Black seems to be changing the things that made Kean such an awful manager. For the most part the bizarre substitutions and out of position players have gone.

Under Kean, something as simple as dropping a player for poor form seemed like a foreign concept. If he was still here Murphy would be ever-present this season.

There seems to be plenty of signs that Black recognises the issues and is trying to deal with them. Far from what I expected from him, that being more of the same Kean-esque stupidity.

[SirLarsIII]

I think I could come to peace with Gus Poyet. Very good statistics at Brighton!

[Dunnfc]

Gus poyet is a great scout of players. Very defense orienated. Like him allot..

[CapeTownRover]

Can we really afford to gamble on a young, up and coming manager right now? imo, it should be an experienced guy, with a young, up and coming guy as his assistant, who would be able to take over when the experienced guy leaves.

something along the lines of Holloway, with say Flitcroft as his assistant. our problem, is that we want to make coaches, managers. The 2 are just completely different roles,hence the reason why Kean was completely out of his depth.

However, in saying that, there still lies a much bigger problem, in terms of those in charge of the selection criteria.

[neophox]

Maybe Mark Hughes? Looks like he will get the sack....

[John]

Hughes ego too big for us, could not see him coming back.

[T4E]

We've now conceded 3 goals in 6 games under Black and have 3 clean sheets. It's hard to knock what he's done so far.

[watford-rover]

totally agree, been a breath of fresh air so far.

[SirLarsIII]

We've now conceded 3 goals in 6 games under Black and have 3 clean sheets. It's hard to knock what he's done so far.

We have been far better defensively under Black. Couldnt get any worse though.

But 1 win and 2 losses are just as good as 3 draws. Just look at Cardif...lost a bit more but dont get these bloody draws.

[BuckyRover]

Has he already as many clean sheets as Kean?

[T4E]

Has he already as many clean sheets as Kean?

Unbelievably thinking back, we actually had 3 in the run in last season, against Norwich, Wolves and Sunderland.

[BuckyRover]

Ah yes. They were like buses. Waited ages then three came at once.

[dwayne cage]

We should be winning by more than one goal and hopefully we will be when we get a new manager. Black has improved the defence but I hope the new manager brings out the best in our attacking force.

Black could be the manager now but I still hope not

[rovers11]

Rovers have improved since tightening up at the back. This is one of the reasons why I wouldn't want Holloway as manager, the defence would become disorganised again.

[Eddie]

There's no reason why we can't remain as solid at the back and still push forward a bit more. Under Kean we were relying on technical ability and attacking prowess to cover up for being unfit and disorganised. If the team is fit and has a clear and working system then there is no reason why we can't be more adventurous without returning to the leaky-siv days.
