I am. But I remain emotionally scarred by watching us get bullied off the park
last season once opposing managers wised up that we had very few players who
could really give as good as they got in that department.

One of my concerns remains the small physical size of our players.
Looking at the stats from the Swansea game, the only number in which
Swansea enjoyed a significant advantage over us was in aerial duels
won.

I remember posting a while back questioning how MB will cope if and
when other teams suss us out - I suggested that he would have a Plan
B, C and even D - from his presser yesterday this clearly is not the
caseHe has one Plan - Plan A and if that is not working he will
tinker with personnel etc until it does - he will not be changing
the way we play.Not sure I 100% agree with this Crespo story - I (as
a parent and cub leader) see nothing wrong with telling a youngster
something that is not true if it helps them in their development etc
- surely part of being a manager is knowing when to 'big someone up
and when to pull them down a peg or two' - instilling belief is not
a bad thing even if you have to lie / exaggerate a bit)I do get the
meaning behind the story - a manager cannot tell a team how to play
and tell them this is the best way and then change it when the game
is going against them -but I am not sure he is correct, surely there
is an argument for 'horses for courses' and on
occasion adapting your method to cope with the opposition ?I do have
faith in MB and to be honest the early games have been great to
watch , even Swansea when we never really hit the heights was
excellent at times but I worry what will happen if we cannot impose
our style on other teams .Various things went wrong last season -
having a rubbish keeper and the defence losing confidence in him,
injury to ayling, Saiz being banned, not having a reliable goal
scorer etc BUT one of the main things was being 'found out'/ being
bullied by the likes of Millwall and Cardiff - will this side be
able to stand up to teams like that ? Coming from behind twice at
Swansea is a good start but it is very early daysAnyway lets hope we
can continue our early season form - Norwich away and Middlesboro at
home are both difficult games (not that many look easy on paper in
this Division) - so 4 or 6 points would be amazing.I expected us to
have 4* or 5 points rather than the 10 we have so it has been a
great start (fancied a point v Stoke with it being first game at
home v a relegated team, 0pts at Derby, 3 at home to Rotherham, and
0 or maybe 1 v
Swansea)Dave_______________________________________________Leedslist
