I can see him reverting to a standard 4-4-2. The question will then be does he go with 2 wingers (Millar+DJ) or does he play Morgan or A.N.Other in one of the wide positions

We've been playing a standard 4-4-2 on and off all season. 15/35 times.
I think he'll change it up a bit and surprise a few
Johnnie is an intelligent bloke, he would have been watching and learning from Powell, Robbo and Bowyer.
He's quite fortunate that we are in a bit of form when he gets his chance to manage us, 8 points in 12 is okay form. If he sorts out the central middle position (Not playing Pratley/Watson together) and gets up creating chances then I think he will do fine until the end of the season.
I think you will be the most London of Londoners to have ever managed our London club. When distances to London are measured I believe it is to Charing Cross, you're a Covent Garden born boy, almost just one of your well flighted free kicks away from Charing Cross.
(I wonder which manager we've ever had born the furthest away from the Valley...Eddie Firmani?)
It would be a massive risk to give the full-time position to a first-time manager. As much as he is a legend, I can't say I'm keen for it to be JJ.
so risky the last 3 times we've given it to first time managers has been a success.
Not long term for two of them, it hasn't.
Those two never got the proper backing to stabilise the club at the next level. You’d like to think TS would buck that trend and give the manager who gets us promoted the support they need.

I agree. I love him, and maybe he'll win every game from now on and earn it, but I would be surprised if Sandgaard's first big appointment was Johnnie Jackson. I think a bit more experience might be good, but then our two most successful managers of the past few years had no management experience at all when we hired them and it went ok. Might be weird to see him in a suit mind.

I don't disagree, but we have to remember Sandgaard isn't mega rich, he may expect the squad we build in Summer to survive the next season in the Championship, then push on the following year.
I guess we know what Sandgaard wants, but not how he expects to achieve it.

Unless he was a home birth I don't know of any Covent Garden hospitals

Obviously has the fans behind him.

I'm sure he's a great guy. Not sure if he's got a wealth of ideas in how to run a successful football club.
Usually players are influenced by the managers they've worked under. Not sure Jackson has had the best luck in that regard either.
