Out with the old and really welcome in the new. Except for those "Oh ****ing hell no. Not Hoddle/Connor" moments.

I haven't watched a game this season but this might be the one. I might not need to watch another if the performance is bad. There was a comment somewhere over the weekend from a journalist who said "it wasn't a matter of Solbakken losing the dressing room - he never found it - they never really understood what he wanted them to do." I assume DS will be more pragmatic and will take on board something of what the players say. The core of this team was one of the top 20 teams in England a year ago. I can't help thinking that turning this team around will be a really easy job. DS did a similar job at Doncaster. DS is supposedly a fan of 352 and Kevin Thelwell has written a book on that formation. At least we would only have to pick three of our crap defenders rather than four. The latest poll on MolMix has DS's approval rating at 45% - the same as Solbakken's just before he was sacked. Far from a popular appointment. I'm still waiting for Rog's verdict.

Luckily for us the Blackburn game is being shown live on Setanta so we'll get to witness the "new dawn" as it unfolds. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: "nswolves" <[email protected]> Cc: Sent: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 09:43:04 +1100 Subject: Re: [NSWolves] Dean Saunders I'm aGOG that it's happened so fast. I think it's interesting in the context of the manager now being one of several senior management figures at Wolves. It seems he will have responsibility for coaching the first team but that much of the scouting and youth system will be dealt with by his new peers. That is a step forward that a standard replacement manager in the traditional mould would not have brought. Presumably the zonal marking concept will be dropped and it will be back to hoofball. The players should be able to manage that in time for Friday's Bald Norweigan Ex-Manager Derby On 7 January 2013 09:00, <[email protected]> wrote: So it seems the bookies finally got one right. What do people think about the appointment of Dean Saunders as our new manager? Jacquie Oatley seems to rate him as a decent bloke who has the right qualifications and desire to succeed. I just wonder if he's going to be given the necessary time to get the team playing a system that actually works for our untalented squad. -- You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone - Joni Mitchell -- You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone - Joni Mitchell -- Boo!
