Today's Team

Defo missed a bone cruncher at ER give him the #2 and lets have it

There are other positives. Cook's a gem in the making.
Always liked Murphy. Pearce can still be good for us. But, needs a commanding partner there Lees and Wooton are crap). Smith will do well for us upfront.
Like Silvestri. Lots of work to be done, as we all know.

However, Hock is looking like a complete liability.

I'm told you have to give him time though batty, you can't judge till 10 games etc....

I wonder how long the pro cellino folk will give their owners choice of coach.

Surely if cellino is so great, been doing it 22 years etc you should be backing his choice of coach as he knows what he's doing.

Jonty, not sure anyone really tried to honestly defend the hiring of Hock. I didn't think much of the hire. He
looks more clueless than Brian. Benny will be coach soon.

Waccoe (twitter) seems to be asking for Benny also.

I give Hock as long as it takes Benny to get comfortable with his role at the club. The team's under his wing seem to be playing good footy.

Batty then you have short memory many on here defended it

Experienced coach
He's not a manager so will be easier for him
Continental system is great
High profile managers haven't worked so time to try something different
Biggest job for him so hell try harder than a more relevant appointment
Etc etc

If you trust in cellino then you should be trusting in his choices and therefore should be giving the coach time..

As for Benito's team playing good football, he's inherited team from coaches who've been sacked.

Disappointing though it is, we didn't lose, came back from behind and we've still got time before Millwall for new blood to fit in and new blood to come in.

This was a result with several players that I don't rate taking up berths in the team. I believe it will get better.

Swindon next....

But the coach doesn't really care about your rating and feels they're our strongest players.

Jonty, I do still trust MC. And I think that Benny was always going to be his coach, eventually. Just needed to give him some time. Remember MC said something to the effect that Benny was not yet ready. Hock is interim.

You're probably right on the bit about people defending Hock's hire.

Wasn't long ago fans were furious Carbone would be coach, now we have a PE teacher as coach, everyone would be happy with Carbone? Got less experience than the Hock!
