Very different league tbh

And we had very good players

He still achieved great things from where we were

But I can understand why clubs are so keen to get rid of promotion winning managers and upgrade once in the prem and things start going wrong

The big question from today for me is why the hell didn't we play this side last week? (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 20:44:16
- Exactly, the Villa lineup was so negative compared to today. (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 20:51:38
- We were fuckin appalling last week. If we'd play half as (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 20:48:42
- Inexperienced manager. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Feb 13, 20:46:31
  - I reckon if he had Moses to bring on as a sub, he'd have done it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Feb 13, 20:57:38
  - Maybe. Don't recall anyone complaining last season though (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 20:48:54
    - I am not this season, I am just given you a reason. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Feb 13, 21:04:47

      - Disagree that our players were very good. (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 21:03:30
        
        Not for the championship! (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:04:06
        
        no better squad last season than ours IMO (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 21:08:14
        
        Our champ squad was better than our prem now? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:11:07
        
        No, there was no better squad in the Champs last season than the one we had (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 21:22:22
        
        Disagree. We've been vastly overrated over the last few years. (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 21:26:59
        
        Who had a better squad then? (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 21:55:40
        
        Bournemouth and Watford (n/m) (NCFC) - lurd, Feb 13, 22:06:26
        
        Lol (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 22:30:47
        
        No chance. (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 22:09:20
        
        Ah yeah you're probably right (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:25:01
      - Do we have any stats on promoted teams upgrading managers after promotion? (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 20:59:26
        
        Watford upon promotion (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:03:41
        
        It's only an upgrade if it works though, and that's not guaranteed (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:05:27
        
        Errr Mark Hughes *was* an upgrade (NCFC) - norway, Feb 13, 21:20:43
        
        He is at least an ok prem manager (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 13, 21:07:50
        
        My worry with Norwich is that we'd search the whole of Europe like last time! (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:10:55
        
        Palace another recent one (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Feb 13, 21:00:17
        
        But those changes came when the team was rock bottom (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Feb 13, 21:03:34
- AN interview suggested to me he is trying defensive (NCFC) - Charles21, Feb 13, 20:46:02
  - He said he wanted to be on the front foot against Villa. O'Neil backed that up. (n/m) (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Feb 13, 21:52:03
  - Which was a bit silly against such a poorly defensive team (n/m) (NCFC) - South_West_Canary, Feb 13, 20:49:40
