Cant be anything else other than a 10.

I'm already fed up of this passing it forward bollocks, and now he's dropping DJ, our player of the season so far.

Zero. SS out!

8. Signs are promising but green shoots were evident in the early MON, Rowett and Neil days before things went to shit.

We do seem a re-energised team but these type of games have often suited us. A side that opens up and leaves us space is what we tend to do well against. Especially when they’re as shite as Brum.

Today may have been down to SS but I think it could also have been down to the sheer incompetence of Rooney. They were baddddddd.

10 - the change in the players is phenomenal, we look a team now.

Fuck off Neil !

[AlbertTatlock]

How long has he had with the squad? 3 days?

I'm excited to see the team after he's had a few weeks with them.

Please can we not call him SS? And certainly never call him 'the SS', it will always be a bit weird and uncomfortable to read.

9 from me, though.

I love his calm, controlled approach - he knows he is a great manager but balances that out by showing a suitable level of humility

Love him

Superb.

Played forward, and well organised.

And low and behold junior was excellent! Who would have guessed it.

Bit alarmed by the Haks/Hoever combo down the left, but it's early days and he'll no doubt be still learning.  Other than that a good, solid away win where we looked dangerous every time we went forward.  Interesting and pleasing he's clocked after one game that we are too isolated up front and got more bodies closer to the forward areas.

Defensively he's a bit knackered until January so will be interesting to see where and what we do there.

Makes you wonder why all managers don’t have his philosophy

Fair play always need a balanced view, happy Xmas.

Made my Xmas as my mate is a Blues fan and we haven’t beaten them for years and I was with him Sunday so was dreading today

Yep, spot on, in the sense that we need to stay grounded as it is very early days, and just like we shouldn't get carried away if results go against us, we can't get carried away this early because we've won a game.

However, that win was definitely more down to Steven Schumacher (can't bring myself to type his initials) than it was down to them being poor.
He completely changed the tempo of the team, changed the set up by putting Junior on the right, and picked/dropped the best performers/underperformers from the last game.
He set us up to take the game to our opposition and we started on the front foot and should have gone in at half time at least 3-0 up.
Some of our old frailties showed up 2nd half bit it was as commanding an away performance as you're likely to see so for that he takes all the credit.

9/10 for me as we conceded a really sloppy goal due to the hapless Hoever, so room for improvement still as he needs dropping.
