Snowflake Royal To be fair, I think it can be hard to separate the difference between rating the quality of an appointment as good or bad, and the likelihood of the success for that appointment, with the actual performance once in post.
You can have terrible appointments you'd expect to fail turn out to succeed against the odds. And vice versa.
And Selles compounded the former with a pretty spectacularly bad start in the latter, which included some very poor management decisions.

SCIAG Middle ground, no expectations, open to good things but alert to bad ones.
People thought Stam would be a disaster and he had us penalties away from promotion.

Hound Our football is pretty bloody simple isn’t it? That’s not to do down the turn around but it’s whack it down the channels/up to Smith who tries to get something on it to create a loose ball in their half
I don’t think we are massively different going forward from the 4-2-2-2 days - where we’ve improved massively is that DM/back 4 area where we generally look pretty solid now. Bindon is excellent. To think 4 of the 5 defensive players are 21(?) or less is pretty impressive

What would you care to know in particular?
How one becomes a reading fan having never lived here I suppose.
How far is Valencia from wherever Franchise has just moved to? Would be nice if they could watch games together.

WestYorksRoyal One sign of a well drilled team is how fringe players can fit in seamlessly as everyone knows their role. We saw it with players like Chris Makin and Hayden Mullins in our promotion seasons.
We're seeing it now too. Mbengue, Mola, Savage and Ehibhatiomhan have come in, know their role and are doing a good job. Certainly you'd have been laughed out of the room a couple of months ago if you suggested that backline would keep consecutive clean sheets.

What you talking about Willis? I agree with the sentiment but the examples you’ve just used are hilarious. Makin and Mullins were utter dog shit

St Pauli The relentless Sellles march towards automatic promotion continues.
The real question is now how do we stop Man City, Liverpool, Barcelona or Bayern snapping Selles up? Will the club and Dai have the funds to keep him?
We also need to consider whether we honour him through a statue outside the ground, or naming a stand after him, or both.
