He will have a 3 match unbeaten run, 2 draws and a win, on his tab after we have beaten Millwall.
Honestly, if we are to make a Eustace/Heckingbottom style low key appointment we may as well hire Gally and save a few quid.
I mean at least he appears to be broadly sane which has become my minimum requirement for a Stoke manager.
Just my 2 cents worth.

I’ve already said this on another thread.
It’s been absolute hell watching the last two games, no thank you.

Honestly, if we are to make a Eustace/Heggingbottam style low key appointment we may as well hire Gally and save a few quid. Just my 2 cents worth. By far and away the most positive post I’ve ever seen from you, Gods. What makes you so confident we will beat Millwall on Saturday? |

Looks like he's got a better understanding of how to get the team playing than Neil did, so that's a positive. I'd be fairly happy with Eustace, gutted with Paul Heckingbottom.

The players are certainly putting in a shift for him workload wise. But I am confident we will have a new manager announced for the Millwall game.

We’ve seemed a bit less all over the place, that’s probably the best compliment I could pay him.

He looks like he's put a bit of fight in the team although the football isn't great but then again when you're playing as shite as we were you can hardly blame him for not deploying an attack at all costs system. Gouranga.  |

So is this proof the team weren’t playing for the manager. I honestly doubted that until these last 2 games. If that’s the case all the players need fucking off and their wages returned. If only that was possible. Disgraceful. |

I’ve already said this on another thread. It’s been absolute hell watching the last two games, no thank you. I fully concur, a team set up to contain not entertain, set up to limit opportunities for the opposing team and limiting ours to the odd chance, i.e. like the fluke goal today. A set up where a draw seems the best we can hope for. A draw against an awful Swansea at home, a cowardly set up, and a draw against West Brom but we were lucky creating very little, I will of course take the point and we battled aaard. This defence always has a mistake in it, especially as we are letting teams come at us and giving them the majority of possession. I expect us to concede at least once and I can't see us scoring more that one with Gallager's set up to win a game. It's a flawed approach in my opinion and bloody awful to watch. |

I think he has done well.
Watching him on the sidelines, he is not emotional or tried to over coach them.
He made changes today before the opposition manager and before were trailing which was good to see.
He kept it simple.

Obviously sees things very differently with players, Mmaee and Hoever stink the place out, still selecting Johnson and he’s not playing Junior in the right position.
If he resolves this for Millwall then just slightly, possibly, perhaps maybe….but I think he will be as clueless as the last four five with players out of position and in the team for no good reason, so for me, I’m out….we have to have a better manager.

Said this in another thread - only difference between him and Eustace is that he knows the players well and seems to have them motivated and Eustace will be starting from scratch.
What would be the point in someone like Eustace coming who has not got a great deal of experience as a manager at this level and has a mediocre record with Birmingham - either employ somebody worthwhile(foreign), which is not going to happen, or stick this lad in, he might end up being ok, whereas we know Eustace, so far, has been bang average.

His set up for both games has been negative shite and it’s not something I’m interested in seeing until the end of the season.

Not too bad, 1st half in particular thought we looked decent today.
WBA are a good team in this league and on their own turf were expected to win

A new manager is too underwhelming but keeping an assistant with no experience on isn’t. Absolutely bizarre week on this board.

I agree with this. There is absolutely nothing to make you think Eustace has a better chance of making a success if it than Gally. Neither have any real managerial pedigree. Both might make it work and both might not. |

Think he's doing alright, the last two performances at least shows he's working on shape and discipline on the training ground.
The players seem to be on board, I'd rather have Gallagher at the moment than Eustace.

He is far too negative like his boss. It's about time we had a coach with the balls to take the game to the opposition and get some men in the box when we have the chance. It's not like we're playing Man City every week.
He has got the team looking more organised but it's a very hard watch.

You taking the piss? Ryan played well upfront but was isolated because bae was working all over the pitch. Thought burger had his best game for us and actually think laurent looked better than Pearson alongside him. |

I just think he is at least getting a tune out of them and should know where we need strengthening in the window - whereas Eustace will take time and may not bring in the right players, which could be a disaster. |

I think he’s been shit. A penalty and a cross that went in have been the only two attacks we’ve had in two games.
