Helped persuade Warburton that he needed to make wholesale changes to the squad, throwing a hand grenade in as he so eloquently put it. |  |

One of the reasons it was smart to keep him on. He knows where last season's bodies are buried and his player assessment is likely to be unvarnished. |  |

This was a point I was going to make a few days ago when Clive( I think) raised the question of, why did MW change from 5/6 players coming in to a complete revamp.
I remember Eustace giving that interview and thinking at the time, this man is talking about a major overhaul.
I was also annoyed that we had made a similar mistake as in previous years and not brought a manager in with enough time to access things, but thankfully, Eustace was the key this time, we got lucky!!
A major overhaul was required, and it would appear all parties are singing from the same hymn book this time around ðŸ™ðŸ¿ |  | | |

Let's see how it turns out before we start hailing Eustace as some kind of revolutionary seer.
If what we've got in now is worse than what we've let go then although we've saved money we're certain to be relegated. | | | |

Forest 4th? Can’t see that
Also I’d happily take 17th spot for us now; of course Warbs making right noises about ambition to push as high as possible
I’m also surprised Brum are being tipped for the drop by quite a few.
I hope they’re right!! |  |

I guess the thing is when the assistant manager is left as caretaker following their boss' exit is they kinda plod through the motions as was. But Eustace mixed things up, and was very forthright in his opinion of the players and the squad. Was quite an interesting break with expectation, and has clearly given Warburton a head start on his view of the squad and emboldened them to be more radical |  | | |

Agreed. Who the f##k writes that shite? Stoke, play offs, so April fools Day is in August now is it? |  | | |

Good post. I guess what I'm trying to say is that its easy to be radical when there's no consequences. We'll be the ones who have to live with these decisions. | | | |

I think Clive's predictions are likely to be a good deal closer to final positions than anything said in Racing Post.
On the basis, there has been considerably more research than most media outlets can bother with.
I'll be very happy if we finish in lower mid-table, given the scale of the overhaul. |  |

LFW prediction has Stoke in 7th, not exactly ruling them out of playoff contention. Other than the Forest call (more of a hail mary but hey it could happen) the RP table doesn't seem particularly controversial.
Clive also has us in 16th which is the highest position of any preview you'll find, whether it's broadsheet, fansite, betting, or Twitter analytics spod. |  | | |

I seem to recall the hysteria around Oct/Nov time about getting in the play offs , look how that ended up |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

More specifically I recall round that time everyone pointing to consistency and continuity in the side as the main reason for good form after all Ollie's uncertainty. Then the season went bad and putting out the same team is favouritism and breeds complacency and we need to clear the decks.
Point is different things work at different times for different sides and there is no moral of the story you can wisely repeat later. The more seasons go by the less you should be certain about, not vice versa. | | | |

As ever with the Racing Post,you'd be wary taking predictions from a publication funded almost entirely by bookmaker advertising | | | |

It amuses me when people say ‘happily take 17th’ etc no you wouldn’t, it’s a sport, we want to compete, we want to be entertained as fans by seeing wins. Finishing 17th would suggest lots of defeats |  | | |

i think most people said there was a happy medium. Yes, keep a wining side and yes if a player is playing well, keep him in the team.
Ollie frequently did neither, failing to stick with players like Manning and Smyth when they were showing good form for more than sometimes one game at a time. Meanwhile, McClaren stuck with players like Eze and Freeman when it was clear they were utterly shagged and in dire need of a rest.
One rested when he didn't need to, the other didn't rest when he really needed to! |  |

Consistency of selection is key, but you rest key players at various stages, odd game, early substitutions, etc, Eze, Wells and a few others were ran into the ground, the modern pampered players haven’t got that in them. I remember our great teams of the past and the majority playing tons of games, those days ere gone! | | | |

I really don't think it had anything to do work modern pampered players.
In the 70s when everyone played every game, they were probably on fumes and not playing to the best of their ability by the end of the season, you just couldn't tell because the teams they were playing against were on fumes too. |  | | |

Added to the game is much quicker now and the players are highly tuned athletes.
Rest and recovery are key to consistent performance. Do too much and the performance level drops. | | | |
