ARTY_FOX Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Win some home games. Don’t expect too much stylistic changes too soon.

Given the dross we've put up with at times this season, I would be satisfied with that to be honest, anything better is a bonus. Except Puel of course
RowlattsFox Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Same as this year for me, solid top 10 with hopefully a push for 7th. A run in cups would be perfect. Sorry thought we were talking about next season. The rest of this should be a top 10 finish and signs of encouragement, a good home run will go down well.
lgfualol Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Confortable top 10 finish and keeping all the young lads playing is all I want. Maybe even give someone like Ndukwu a go.
norwichfox Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 I'm not sure what to expect tbh, I can't do anything more than hope it all works well and we carry on with the acquisition/development of younger players and the clear-out of high wages players that currently aren't good enough...He needs to win us more games than we lose, however, the term "EPL Stepping Stone club" come to mind...

Not realistic at all. We never beat Bournemouth.... I'll take a draw in that game

I like it. Nothing like a bit of rampant wishful thinking. Seriously though a minimum of 15 points from these games is easily achievable which would leave us sitting pretty in 7-9 place. Rogers does have an almost free hit for the rest of the season realistically as we certainly will pick up the points necessary to ease any fears of getting dragged into any sort of dogfight at the bottom. Last three games not ideal for finishing on a high to carry through to next season but will be a yardstick for us to judge the new regime by as he will have had a few games to bed in and assess things by then. In reality the big tests are the middle group of games. Ones that we should be picking up points from but were failing miserably to do so in recent times. I am actually quite excited at what we could achieve next season with a bit of encouragement to our youngsters and a few tweaks to the squad over the summer. Yes some credit must go to Puel for his role in transitioning the squad (was always going to be a tough and unpopular job clearing out the legends) into a youthful group but his tactics, and inability to inspire, were found lacking in the end. Hopefully Brendan can take them to the next level now. Please let us not judge to soon, see what the summer brings and get behind everyone and anyone that crosses that white line in a blue shirt.
Guest Markyblue Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Top 10 ,ground expansion, fa cup. Decent football being played and patience from the fans. Easily pleased me?
Merchant_Banker Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 My expectations for this season would revolve around setting the groundwork for next season. The position in the table is almost irrelevant. I want to see our players playing with confidence. Looking to attack when in possession rather than just keeping the ball and pressing hard when not in possession.

Dames Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Expectations for the rest of the season? Avoid relegation for a start. Anything after that is a bonus - he should spend these 11 games evaluating his squad but also building their confidence back up as well as forming good relationships with them. Besides that hopefully he sorts the training out and that might resolve half the issues we have been seeing on the pitch.
ARM1968 Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 If he don’t win us the league next season, then bin him off. I’m fed up of garlic mediocrity and paddling about in the shallow end of the puel. Time for a Buck Rodgering.
foxy boxing Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Get the team playing with confidence Get the players onside especially Vardy and Kasper make a positive push for seventh start building and setting out plans for next season get them playing with a style of football everyone is happy with
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 Should be aiming for a single figure placement now 9th or higher
That_Dude Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 0 expectations other than get the 40 points asap and then let the youngsters have their fun, experiment and see what's the best team for the future. Big summer window incoming. Top priority: Tielemans and a striker.

I can tolerate it if the others make up for it.

Guest TaggertvsWise Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 3 hours ago, Happy Fox said: Top 10 finish is still possible even 7th place is! I think the shackles will be off, the players will enjoy playing football now and we will see improved performances and better results I reckon we will get 20 points from our remaining 10 games; 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Which would have been good enough for 7th last season. This is key for a squad of our ability
womp Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 lay out expectations and set goals. first chance show them whos boss. find the next captain.(if in squad). as for results probably be inconsistent still after the initial new manager period stops but by the end of the season have it. i think he will know all he mostly needs to know about the squad pretty quickly.
womp Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 7 minutes ago, MPH said: or if he’s annoyed at liverpool, it might be the other way round! or he values his job more than them and not care.
MPH Posted 27 February 2019 Posted 27 February 2019 seriously though, his expectation should be to win every game. whether that’s likely is a different matter but that’s how the team should be trained.
