I don’t want to hear our manager laud the opposition before every game, we had enough of that with Captain ****wit (Russell Slade).

We’ve had a tough run of fixtures this last 3, free hits if you like, but it’s time to stop making out the opposition are super human, and start bigging up and believing in our own players, starting next Sunday.

In Fridays press conference I’d rather he spoke highly of our own players, and how we’re going to get at Burnley from the off, rather than wax lyrical about the “fantastic job Dychey has done at Burnley. My type of manager, my type of club, blah, blah, blah”

This David v Goliath patter before and after every game is really starting to grind my gears.
I agree with your sentiments. There is an old management rule called the Peter Principle that says people get promoted until they reach a level of incompetence. I think NW might be in the that situation.
Last season he was in charge of situations, this season he seems out of his depth.

His interviews run the same pattern....praise the opposition stressing how we are unlikely to get anything from it, praise our fans for their support, and praise the players for giving of their best.

Now we can see that attitude rubbing off on the players.

It will end in tears...and relegation
