It is such a relief to have a manager who has experience, is articulate and avoids cliches, respects the fans, is tactically astute and flexible, and seems to have excellent man management skills. And Sol for extra passion and motivation as he grows as a coach!

The change of shape to three at the back with wing backs (although Lamouchi is supposed to favour 4-3-3), getting Sawyers, Ojo and Philogene onto their A games, and with Kaba, Wickham and a maturing Etete emerging as serious forward options - it is all looking good. All we need now is for the ex Academy lads to join the party and to pass Swansea going the other way in the table!

That said it is early days and it could be a twitchy ride to the last game.
True well done the board at last a great appointment
