I thought he came across well in that interview, far better than Luzon ever has. The mystery to me is why he hasn't been involved with us previously, he could have stayed on when Riga left and been part of Peeters' coaching team, he could have been worked with Luzon.
I take the emphasis on toughness is making us hard to beat again, as our last 2 home games we had a really soft underbelly...

He talks a good story and fills me with much more confidence than Luzon did in his first interview, but we know that the biggest issue we have is NOT the manager. I'm sure the new coaching team will give it their all, but is that going to fill the cracks of a thin squad with limited quality?
good interview. I hope it bodes well and of course he has my full support and look we aren't going to change much of what is happening at present so fight only the battles you can win and accept defeat in the ones you know you cant; it wont be the result i shall look to on sat ; it will be the performance.
He speaks so well and is able to be knowledgeable about us, the Championship, our opponents and the players etc.... I wonder why they did not just do a press conference in front of the media?
I have just come in from the Trust AGM and watched that. I wondered the same thing, what would've been so bad about letting the general media in on a normal press day? He could easily say that he can't comment on recent events having only just arrived, he seems smart enough to be able to avoid the awkward stuff, especially in his first week.
The only other explanation might be with practicalities, like he wouldn't be available when the media turn up or some such thing. I can't see the need for any Ministry of Propaganda stuff.

Couldn't watch more than two mins, so contrived it made my skin crawl.
From comments on this thread, it just goes to show, even having been through this with Peeters and Luzon THIS YEAE(!), fans still fall for this bollox. They WANT to believe/forgive because of the emotional investment/their own history.
This is why Roland can do exactly what he wants for however long he wants.

100%. Some no-mark can speak English and suddenly everything is fine again.
We need to toughen up! Is that even possible in today's game and still retain 11 men on the pitch? Maybe he means we need to be better organised, because I can guarantee it will take no more than two slightly mistimed "tough" tackles by the same player and it will be game over again.
Haven't bothered to read or watch this. What's the point.
I couldn't be a football manager but I could go out there and spurt out the same crap that these guys do yet not have a clue how to put the process into action.
Results may have a chance of improving the situation but I emphasise the word may. I really think so many fans have just had enough of the way the club is managed.
We must have interviewed all the candidates and appointed one by then. In fact I am expecting to see the appointed one sitting in the stands watching tomorrow.
Has no one told the kid he is only the interim? They only let managers do press conferences son!
Is Edward Scissorhands the new video editor? You can't cutaway to the same person from a slightly different angle. Maybe if you go black and white, or frame in the other camera.

Not sure what the pub landlord would think of that, but think I can guess.
Thinking outside the box of wine? Should help with the smiles though.
