It’s going to be a strange one for Maloney. Has he got enough in him for a relegation dog fight. He was up against it last year from day one but we didn’t advance up the league whatsoever. His brand of football just isn’t the roll your sleeves up and get at em. Settled for nil nil draws from the kick off last season. He will have to pull something out of the bag akin to Leam in the admin season where it was belt and braces. Pussy footing around with tippy tappy early on could see us up to 15 points adrift before September. Pressure is on Shauny lad just get the ball up the park asap, forget Martinez,forget a boring passing game, forget wing backs unless you bring three in, forget playing out of defence. Get an out and out winger on and two strikers to develop a partnership. Yip just put defences under pressure and yes just forget Martinez and his turgid tactics.
Oh and good luck if our Billionaire owner doesn’t back you the way Dave Whelan backed his managers.

Cant imagine Maloney wanting a double relegation on his cv so we will have to play a lot more positive than how we played under him last season.

Wouldn’t keep McClean, Bennett, Tilt, Cousins anyway.
Scully, Humphreys, Jones, McGrath, will do.
End trying to play football from the back and this wing back nonsense.
Get balls into the box at every opportunity and it will get fans behind the manager.
Play turgid, tippy tappy, sideways and backwards bore ball and fans will turn against the manager.

Be good to let a proper club stay up too.

A spirited little fight far too late in the season. The same fight at Blackpool and at home to Brum may have got us over the line. Shame that our top scorer was dropped recently and Fletcher favoured to lead the attack. A travesty too playing McClean and Darickwa as so called wing backs. These are the on pitch cock ups made by Shaun Maloney who has not raised the club any league positions during his tenure.
What happened before him with Toure is just unexplainable but nothing like as unexplainable as the mismanaged mess the owners have made for almost a year now.
Not heard a peep yesterday or today from The owner, Talal or the stand in Chief executive.

Slow and boring to watch. It’s exactly what I expected it would be. Hibs fans warned us but they didn’t need to.

Anything is possible but not this. I know Maloney’s mentor is your hero Roberto Al but he is as green as Kolo and as Stubborn as Cook so I think this is probably a bridge too far and it should be time now just to play the players who will be here next season.
