No sane person could argue with the principles he is talking about ie. building a solid base to give the club a strong medium to long term future.
The proof of the proverbial is now what is achieved in terms of results over the next couple of years. At that point any system has been given a fair opportunity.

Weren't the Cousins comments in response to being physically outmuscled against Luton Cousins comments said something along the lines of we don't have the players in the dressing room who can compete physically. Holden is saying that we don't play that way by design. Very contradictory. |

Holden is saying that we don't play that way by design. Very contradictory. I didn’t hear the Cousins interview so I don’t know what his drift was but if he was talking about mental strength rather than just physical I would say he has a point. We don’t (and haven’t for a long time) seem to have the players who can cope with any adversity in a game. We crumble under pressure - even the pressure of going a goal up sometimes ! We need some strong willed individuals who can hold the younger players together and can create some self belief both in the team’s ability and the system we are playing. That I think would back up the gist of what Holden was talking about. |

For the moment I think we just have to try and have faith . |

Weren't the Cousins comments in response to being physically outmuscled against Luton Cousins comments said something along the lines of we don't have the players in the dressing room who can compete physically. Holden is saying that we don't play that way by design. Very contradictory. Both are correct. We don't have the players to stand up to teams like Luton who totally bullied us. We don't want to play that way so we don't want Luton type players. Our problem is that we need players playing our style but who can go toe to toe physically with Luton's type of play. We are not helped by referees in this division not protecting skillful players but you can be both tough and strong and want to play possession based football. At the moment our players are a bit lacking in the tough and strong department. One of the reasons why we can play well against Palace, Fulham, Forest and Swansea but not against Luton, Birmingham, Huddersfield, Barnsley etc |

I think we do need a mental coach, perhaps not one of 37 hours per week, but a consultant who comes in before and after matchday. We do seem to lack understanding that no games are won when a goal up with ten minutes to go, and the players have no ability to motivate themselves when a referee decision go against us. Worst of all we crumble under the pressure of being a goal down, or even, a goal up, as wuzza says.

I genuinely think it’s a character thing. Conceding a goal (especially at our place) often means the opposition drop some of their inhibitions and go for it a bit - panic in our ranks often ensues. |

Not one i of the management team have a credible record of executing any of that at this level or higher , for a sustained period indeed , and therein lies our issue our football leadership can talk the walk but there is no evidence they can walk it

Dear Dean how come the managers of Luton abd huddersfield have managed to create far stronger teams from worse positions with less resource over the same time period . How come Boro abd forest managers hsve crewstec better teams in far shorter time horizons , how come Rooney at derby has achieved so much wit so much adversity , I’d suggest given the balance of resource and results our management team is the amongst the bottom three in this league over the last twelve months if not bottom one
