Spoke briefly to BB in the canteen at SL during a quick tea break in the gardening.
Really friendly guy, but as said in the interview, very humble which is refreshing.
Reiterated that although we won on Tues evening & there was a lot of good things on view, there were also some that need more work.
I told him that plenty of fans were astounded at the quality of our passing game especially in the first 20 mins or so and he agreed that the pitch is spot on for this type of football. However, he felt we sat back after George scored & the halftime talk was around attack in the second half. Agreed we had more clear cut chances to score than Derby .
He also congratulated the ground staff at SL ( NOT Standard Liege!) on preparing the pitches there in the way he asks- plenty of water was mentioned - and it's clear he's a perfectionist where this is concerned as the state of the grass is vital in order to play in the manner he expects.
The squad is travelling north by train tomorrow & he expects a tough game on Saturday. It's obvious that he will not underestimate our opposition this season & is only too aware of the quality in the Championship.
Meeting BB only reinforced my opinion that we are in safe hands with him at the helm - something we may have questioned a few weeks ago.
Thank you Fanny for sharing such positive news. And of course thanks PL54. The more I read about him the more I like him. I don't think there's anything he's said so far that I don't agree with.

Onwards & upwards !
To clarify, I should have posted it was BBB, aka Lord Peeters.

A N Other poster has suggested this in the past week or so.
And I was only joking......
Having a bad day ?
