Win 6-1 and still not happy, I love it. He really seems like the kind of guy that's going to get a grip of our players and make them better. Hopefully we see another positive performance today

Tbh I really like the way he wants us to play. Even though we fell apart against hull I could see his ideas already starting to take place with the 3 front players flying in behind and I think if we were more clinical we’d have had a similar scoreline to Portsmouth. Borough was one of those where his lesson of “keep the ball” was taken too literally. Portsmouth was keep the ball but also Have a bloody shot! and tada we win. I look forward to Swansea for the next lesson of don’t concede 😂
It’s good to see a coach constantly looking at improvement individually. From what Gibson said in one of his earlier interviews Narcis works on improving players individually which I think we’ve lacked since MON. I think we are in for exciting times ahead, but I also think we’ll get hammered a few times whilst we continue to evolve in this style. Fun times ahead. (Hopefully)

A big day today against bang average opposition. Any sort of result will see the mood going into the international break positive.
More of the same please, press high, runners in behind and have a go.

WTF?? just pointing out it’s no big deal for a difficult away game and only 4 games into his reign Sorry mate, couldn’t disagree with you more if I tried.Its never ever ever a good thing to lose a football match. By your logic, provided we played ‘well’ you’d be happy to lose every match and finish bottom with nil points. 🤷♂️

I'm going to put my balls on the chopping block here and this may well come back to bite me BUT...
I think this guy knows his onions, works harder than any other coach in the league and is going to transform this team's fortunes around given time. I can also see him going right to the very top.

I can also see him going right to the very top. I still think it’s quite a delicate situation, however, I don’t remember any manager ever coming in and conjuring up a 6-1 win within two weeks or so of their appointment. That should give him and us more breathing space and another point today shows he’s managing to do something with them. I also haven’t seen much of a change in style to be honest, at least with the ball. A good week which probably should have been even better if we’d taken the big chances today.

Positive words from Wilmot. Obviously he's never going to be anything else publicly, but even so, it seems genuine.

With two weeks to work with the players I imagine we’ll see a big difference in the Norwich game. From what I’ve read and heard of him he’ll have an encyclopaedic knowledge of their squad so I’d be hoping for a very positive result from that game.

Thought his starting lineup and subs were spot on yesterday.
The real test will be if/when we pick up injuries how he adapts to those challenges, that ultimately is the hallmark of a good coach. Even though we weren't great at times yesterday you could at least see there was a gameplan.
If we can go through the season with that ethos, with Cannon and Manhoef finishing in double figures then we can't begrudge it.

Our corners have been wank since MON, glad he’s addressing it.
He has high standards and won’t stand for anything less, good on him.

I’ve only watched highlights of yesterday’s game. One problem not solved yet is our full backs being left one on one because of lack lustre tracking back by our wide players. I’m sure Pelach is well aware of this and will be working on strategy/players to minimise constant repeats.

By your logic, provided we played ‘well’ you’d be happy to lose every match and finish bottom with nil points. 🤷♂️ This goes back to the variance in football debate. In a single game bonkers things can happen. We could play a team off the park, hit the inside of the post 3 times, see their keeper make the 4 greatest saves he’ll ever make and have a couple wrongfully disallowed, and then concede 0 big chances but see the other team score a worldie that you can’t legislate for and lose 1-0. Under those circumstances, as gutting as it’d be you could only commend the performance. Of course this is a football forum and if that happened some people would lose their shit. You don’t have to be “happy” with a loss but it’s possible to have good performances and disappointing results. In the short term performance is more important than results because performance in the short term is a better predictor of longterm success than results in the short term.

Think it was a decent point, yes we were not great for periods yesterday, but we showed a bit of resilience, and, taking our that great result in midweek, was a fair bit better than last weekends performance/result against a similar sort of team. Also very heartening to see that we ended the game the better side, showing that he has not only worked on the fitness side of things, but its working.
Hopefully will now have this international break to really get his ideas into the players heads and we can go again against Norwich!

Resilience is exactly the right word for the difference we are beginning to see in the way we played. We now seem to have a 'just get on with it' attitude to mistakes and decisions as witnessed by our response to the disallowed goal and Portsmouth equaliser the other night. How many times over the last few seasons would we have gone in at halftime losing because our heads would have dropped and we would have conceded a second within minutes of conceding the first?

We’ll see if it’s really starting to change once we go a goal behind I think. We were an inch from going in at half time 1-0 after they hit the bar, and I’m not all that sure we’d have bounced back. We had a little bit of luck yesterday, but I agree, in past seasons we’d have lost that game. Hoping this is the corner we’ve all been wanting to turn!

We could have gone in 1-0 up too the chance Moran had just before H-T it was a good move.

Supposedly will have several day’s training now with the squad to implement more of his ideas.
However who will be away?
Koumas Manhoef Thompson Canon Moran Junior? Johansson Junho?
Have I missed any?

Disagree with how Shuey was sacked, thought it a very poor way of doing it even if it was necessary.
However, Pelach isn't to blame for it.
Beginning to like the guy's attitude and, despite his lack of experience in the Championship in this role, he appears to be making effective changes to the way we play. OK the 6-1 was great, unexpected and unlikely to be repeated often, but the away draw was fine and he has the international break to make his changes.
Happy to give him the chance, not that I have any choice.

Way too early to tell though. And typically, the int'ls come and ruin the footie/form. If NP can get rid of the Stoke coming back from internationals curse, I'll be very excited!

Definitely the fact that we grew into the game rather than out of it was a big positive. Feels like a long time since we finished a game really pushing for a winner, seems like our games have had a horrible tendency to fizzle out limply.
