I do rather like the urgency to pass the ball forward into attacking the opponent's goal, rather than to pass it around the backs in our own half until opponents press us off the ball to score against us.
We need to sort out our defence, but in the meantime, I can't object to the running, crossing, and through-ball forward passing we used in assault on the Wimbledon goal in hope of outscoring the defecit our leaky defence bestows.
It's fun.

There's a bit of Hugh Grant in his fidgety nervosity and I've taken to him already.

I don't see nervousness. I think that he is struck by the banal questions raised by Hoskins and Hadwin, who will need to raise their journalistic game with PT....and for their long suffering Radio Bristol listeners.
He does try to answer the questions - shock horror, although he will "respectfully" decline if he thinks team personnel or club matters are private.
Sometimes, you have to pause and think before answering a question honestly. He believes that one of his best 3 qualities is that he is considered.
But please DYOR.

Some of the questions he’s asked are mundane, run-of-the-mill questions that are asked in most post match interviews. But sometimes they’re better than some of the sychophantic questions asked of PL managers. Those guys are so afraid of upsetting the managers the questions are truly awful. Tis is very considered in his answers and he’s come across as very honest. And I like the way he leads the interview by making clear that he won’t answer everything he’s asked, but he does it respectfully to the players and interviewer. What I also like is the enthusiasm he has so far. I’d like to think he realises he has a bit of a blank canvas and can create something in his own image and that is exciting him at the moment. He’s clearly upbeat about us and the prospects are exciting him. At Exeter he recognised their limits and probably stayed too long so that many fans forgot where they were when he took over. MK Dons were....um...MK Dons and full of entitlement so their start in League 1 did for him with the injuries. With us perhaps he sees the “potential” many of us think we have. But perhaps I’m over thinking it! Whatever it is I certainly go into matches now expecting more than I did with BG. Probably unfair to say that but I do feel it. UTG!

Klopp slipped up with that the other week when he lost control of his normally excellent glint in the eye handling of pre and post match questions in his rant at the BT commentator over Wilder's selfish comments about 5 subs (not sure where Wilder got that from. Surely 5 subs is better than 3 for all teams?). Some commentators even repeat questions inside of other questions and I really admire the way many managers stay cool with a "like I said ...". Three is probably the limit though. :-)

Three is probably the limit though. :-) You’re right CPB, Klopp did lose his normal well-measured approach to post match questions. What I didn’t like was his expectation that everyone else should want what he wants ie. 5 subs. He then picked on Chris Wilder for being either the 4th or 5th manager to vote against it, why didn’t he mention the other managers who voted against it? And I’m not sure that 5 subs are better than 3 from Sheffield United's point of view. The big 6 have huge, talented squads that mean they can bring on 5 world class subs. The likes of Sheffield U, Burnley, Palace, Fulham probably can’t do that so I completely understand why Wilder voted the way he did. He was looking after Sheffield U’s interests the same way Klopp was trying to do with Liverpool’s interests. Don’t quite know why Klopp thinks that Wilder should vote for whatever’s best for Liverpool, Those interests aren’t necessarily the same. Klopp’s reaction was quite childish really. He didn’t get his way so he threw his toys out of the pram in a tantrum which was quite out of character for him. At least he had the bottle to apologise somewhat. Unfortunately some of the top managers think that football begins and ends with what their clubs want. UTG!

Im not adding to this thread because I started it but notice twenty pence was the pre-match interviewer this time around.
Much better questions, more considered responses and better chemistry. I have warmed to Tisdale quickly and I think he’ll thrive in a Rovers environment more than an MK Dons environment due to familiarity and a more willing audience of young pros.
I wonder if Tisdale would have kept Nicholls?

(I know I'd said I'd let it go, but I can't).
