A great solid performance , levels above anything that Cooper did, well done Ruud.

Love the approach RVN has. Miles better than Cooper who, looking back, always seemed to feel sorry for himself. 

 

RVN already laying the foundations for getting the basics right. 

[RoboFox]

Curious how Potter keeps disappearing from the panel when Ruud turns up.

Any points we can accumulate this month are huge. However they come. 

 

Can't deny we've had huge amounts of luck tonight and on another day we lose comfortable. Really soft foul on Mads just before the second was massive. Its not sustainable to give so many attempts at goal. 

 

However positives were:

Attacking intent when we broke, got men forward at times but poor quality let us down

Positive subs and tweaks from Ruud. Felt adding a defensive Midfielder was inevitable but he resisted and replaced Vardy at a good time

First time I've seen VK look like he's enjoyed playing for us since his first couple of games. 

Midfield 2 did lots of good stuff but don't think it's a reliable combo in the long term 

 

Goes without saying but a win is the good for the place. Gets everyone in a positive mindset straight away. Rightly or wrongly, Cooper never had any backing from the stands. Ruud has that already. 

It also builds confidence. If they players "think" the manager will improve them, that can do wonders. 

 

It's a big month. If we do well, the psychological effect on the team will be huge. It will also help us recruit in January.

Just need to sort out defense out.....better teams with strikers would have scored....bring back Soutter in January

This is a very good post match interview/analysis by RVN. 

[Groby_Blue]

RVN speaking after the match. A proper manager who actually knows what he's talking about. I love him already. 

[egg_fried_rice]

RVN talking a lot of sense in the post match. 

[Ted Maul]

This is a fantastic interview from Ruud. Exactly what we want to hear.

He's quite down to earth and not getting carried away. 

 

Sensible guy. 

[Daggers]

[EastAnglianFox]

Good god he come across well doesn’t he

[Goober]

Very good Ruud interview

[EnderbyFox]

Ruud just oozes charisma doesn’t he, compare that to Cooper who looks and sounds like he wears velcro trainers

[EnderbyFox]

 

[chapero82]

I really like the way RVN is talking. 

[supernuk]

"Ruud Van Nistelrooy tra la la la"

[Iwebema]

Excellent interview. I'm getting too excited by him.

 

I'm ready to get hurt again.

[Nick]

Great interview from Ruud. Notice Potter made himself scarce.

In 5 minutes he spoke more sense than Cooper had in all his managerial career. I would have said "in all his life" but I'm trying to be polite tonight. 

[Tielemans63]

In other news, enjoyed the Amazon coverage tonight. Tyldesley and Townsend were decent on comms, and the combination of Emile and Kevin Nolan as summarisers was really good, IMHO.

New manager bounce 😎
