Re: Lamouchi appointed

In fairness, you don’t need any stats where Watters is concerned. You’ve only got to look at him.

He cost £1m, we'll be lucky to get a tenner for him

Re: Lamouchi appointed

So what you’re basically saying is that if City were better at scoring goals, they’d be in a better position. I think so too.

As for Morison, he started the season with Watters and Harris up front. Perhaps he didn’t anticipate that pair would struggle to score goals in the Championship, but I and many other supporters did as there was plenty of evidence to suggest it would be the case.

I concede that our attacking options were never properly addressed - even with Robinson coming in.

Just had a quick look on the Barnsley forum

A few people noting that he's looking well off the pace fitness-wise. Even in league 1.

They do run around a lot up there to be fair.

It’ll take them a while, but they’ll come to realise its not a fitness issue - it’s his natural demeanour. All-action he is not.

Re: Lamouchi appointed

Wales Online saying it is just to the end of the season.

Not sure the length of contract means very much - other than to affect the size of the compensation package when the manager is sacked?

I am sure there is an agreement to roll it n if we stay up. Maybe Lamouchi does not want to continue in division 1 ?

Re: Lamouchi appointed

Are you suggesting that Morison should have realised that those two forwards who, up until the end of last season had averaged a goal per 11 and 8.7 games respectively in the Championship, might have struggled to score goals? If only this sort of insight had been available to him.

As it is, both players are having fine seasons that won't affect their stats at all. Watters has no goals from 13, Harris is averaging a goal every 9 appearances. If only there was a way Morison could have known this was likely......

To be fair his hands were virtually tied. Not many regular scoring strikers available for free

Having fallen out with his chairman in Qatar and not coaching for 17 months, I'd say the only reason he could be sniffy about managing at that level would be the Qatari money he banked.

His press conference was all over the place.

I'm sure he would be delighted to carry on in Division 1. It's falling into Division 3 that is the killer!

Now that the WOL press conference blog is complete and the video is on the club website, it is clear that Lamouchi expects to get an extended contract in the summer if we stay in the Championship. Long term project (although thankfully he didn't use that word).

"We need confidence."
"I’m never confident and don’t want to be confident."
"Where we are is not our position."
"This is with confidence. I am not confident. But I know when players play without confidence they are not playing to their level."
"Only after hard work we will maybe have a positive result."


Bonkers and that's without his constant references to "massive club".

I didn’t see it that way, perhaps it was more of a language barrier , and overall it was positive.
