And a few in very low places, for that matter.You’ve got friends in high places!
I expect a report about it soon...I heard that last time he was there he decided that one of the cones was in the wrong place and decided to move it, Andy Reid was fuming.
In two weeks, if it’s anything to do with Reidy.I expect a report about it soon...
He can't be. If he was he'd have moved MGW into a deep role.Nuno must be a devotee of the Forum.
There were lots of calls for him to pick his strongest side, get them fired up from the start and to win the fulham game, thereby getting us 4-points from the 2 home games that "cover" the 4-points deduction.
And he did just what the fans had ordered!
I've heard he's got the same internet as bonfy...He can't be. If he was he'd have moved MGW into a deep role.
I've heard Markinakis is our set pice coach, huge if true.
Every day is a trial reading some of the posts…but then I always have the ignore buttonWhen did this place become a trial?

If Nuno and Marinakis had a love child
I think you are being very unfair here Alf,This is bang on.
He's been OK, he's got positives, but after one great 45 min (followed by a semi-resilient 2nd half) min, asking everyone to suddenly forget the grind which it's been getting there is a bit unrealistic.
Like you say, a lot of stuff he's actioned has been stuff a fair amount of posters have been calling for.
I'm glad for the fact he's done that, and I also recognize he's got better qualities such as how he's bought out the best in some players like Wood, but I'm not suddenly in awe of him because he's finally got the basic team setup down.
He came here when we were 17th, he got the squad trimmed, a key player in Sels, and some additional players to boot. We're still in 17th. It's OK, but it's not particularly rapid progress either. When he starts taking us up the table to places which we haven't been yet, then I'll start to get more excited.
Let's stay up this year and hope that Nuno gets the chance to shape the squad well in the Summer. My hope is that his desire for a tight squad kyboshes and crap ego or panic additions from those above him.
Mostly ifs and buts there tho chap. I'm judging on what's occurred.I think you are being very unfair here Alf,
1. Without the points deduction we would be 15th and 7 clear of the drop zone.
2. We have had some amazing games under Nuno; Newcastle away, Man U home, West Ham home and, of course Fulham this week.
3. We have been robbed by refs/VAR on numerous occasions; Bournmouth, Newcastle, Liverpool all at home, Brentford away
4. We have been unfortunate not to get more from; Arsenal at home (2 errors at a time when they were averaging 4 goals a game), Bournemouth and Luton away
There has only really been Villa away where we have looked outclassed. This was after arriving just after Spurs, Fulham and Everton where we frankly looked ragged to say the least. We did incredibly well under Steve Cooper, ffs we were bottom of the Championship when he arrived, but to say we have not improved under Nuno is basically not true.
I am not going to - well, I cannot, because of the GDPR - tell you if Nuno might have an account on here, or what his username is.Nuno must be a devotee of the Forum.

I shall have to create a secret squirrel motif!I am not going to - well, I cannot, because of the GDPR - tell you if Nuno might have an account on here, or what his username is.
If of course he does. Which he might. Or might not.
Is it a bird?! Is it a plane?!!
No, it's Captain Ambition come to save our season!!!

According to myth, his powers come from being dipped into the River Styx as a child, being held only by his knees.Is Chris Cohen coming home?
To be honest I think that the Wood/Williams debate is just something for both sides to argue about because they want to find something to argue about.Do you think that someone is a Nuno acolyte if they think that Chris Wood and Neco Williams have performed significantly better since the managerial change and that stating that someone described this as a myth was talking absolute bollocks? Asking for a friend.
You might be onto something!To be honest I think that the Wood/Williams debate is just something for both sides to argue about because they want to find something to argue about.
It would look like Brian BlessedIf Nuno and Marinakis had a love child
This is why I really can’t comprehend how passionate argument is being had on the difference between cooper and nuno. There is a debate there but anyone falling out or calling people names (I haven’t read all this thread so I’m not accusing anyone) is being disproportionate.Not to keep comparing the 2 but..
This season
Cooper
avg points per game: 0.82
Points over a full season: 31.16
Position based on 22/23 table: 19th
Nuno
avg points per game: 1.07
Points over a full season: 40.66
Position based on 22/23 table: 14th
Coopers spell in charge included home games v Luton, Burnley, Sheff U, Brentford and Everton so potentially the easier games of the season on paper.
Given Turner + Vlach in goal like Cooper had for his half of the season, and I doubt Nuno's PPG would be much different to Cooper's myself tbh.Not to keep comparing the 2 but..

Whatever. Coops is gone Nuno is here. Live with it.Given Turner + Vlach in goal like Cooper had for his half of the season, and I doubt Nuno's PPG would be much different to Cooper's myself tbh.
