We have heard words from too many managers in recent years, buying in to what we have liked hearing and being critical of what we didn’t like.
Most often the words have not matched the outcomes.
So far I have been very impressed with BBM’s statements - hopefully they will continue to be matched by results including the right new signings.
It’s still early days but hope is turning into optimism.
I like the fact he’s decisive. Doesn’t mess about, drops players that need dropping, plays players that train well.Quote:

He did use ‘in the building’ once. I trust he’s been hauled over the coals for that!!!!!!!
Poor bloke, he’s not had the chance to use “get it over the line” yet.Quote:

Is he still talking at 200 mph ?Quote:

If he slows down, he's more confident. So if we understand him clearly that is good news for two reasons!

Media team have been onto him if that's the case! One of the first things I was told to do in my work's media training courseQuote:

Agree, some like to moan at every opportunity.Quote:

We’ve got one of the strongest squads in this division with a nice opening fixture list.
Let’s not get negative but let’s not get ahead of ourselves either.
Let’s just embrace it and enjoy it for once.Quote:

Nice opening fixtures? Away to two teams that are used to winning at home and still unbeaten.
Why don’t we actually give credit to the players and manager for once instead of always preparing ourselves for the negative.
If we beat Luton on Saturday we’ll still have fans saying, “oh they aren’t as good as people made out”. Enjoy the ride, it’s been a long time since we celebrated anything!

No, he got caught three times, Drakfords got him down to 20mph, or it's a ban.Quote:

Shouting over to Chambers to "wise up" was good.
Chambers hasn't started since.
