David Artell confirmed as New Manager

Not enough being scored, too many conceded - younger players will get a game if good enough, and will want to work closely with Neil Woods over the next 12 months.

Quick honest assessment added to a Meh to avoid slating recent poor performances.

If you can't trap a ball, can't make an accurate pass and run to accept passes faster than we have been, don't worry if your tracksuit zip snags, as you won't need to take it off !

I can see Ainley and Khouri getting game time once fully fit and Hunt getting a run (more minutes) for better free kicks and corners.

If he can also help Holohan and Clifton back into better form, things could improve quickly.

Also think about both Amos and Glennon being shown how not to jump early into tackles, and Efete how to accurately cross at the first chance instead of slowing and cutting back, then perhaps we have a start for better flank play on both sides.

When will Vernam be back training again after his injury? Another needed option !

I thought the general rule was under 100 you clap, between 100 and 500ish you ignore it and over 500 you boo?

That should be added to "Debrett's New Guide to Etiquette and Modern Manners" book

More good news . He spoke to his ex team mate Hursty before taking the job . The players have no where to hide

Artell speaks incredibly well, yet the most impressive part of his interview was describing us as "meh."

I think this is a really good appointment, and I think he will bring some innovative approaches from his time spent seeing how they approach things in other sports.

Quoted from Maringer

If I was going to be pedantic (I usually am), the same could be said for our previous management team! The fact that our defence has been all over the place this season especially is the biggest surprise for me. I can only imagine that the players they got weren't what they thought or we failed to sign two or three players who they thought would be able to combine to change the style of play entirely.

A tough run of games coming up so I hope Artell can impose something more effective on the team pretty quickly.

Yeah, that point wasn't lost on me, but we have 2 new ex defenders running the show now, so hopefully, they can succeed where the previous ones failed.

Is there a longer Radio Humberside interview with him somewhere?

Is there a longer Radio Humberside interview with him somewhere?

There appears to have been a press conference, but it doesn’t seem to be available on club or BBC channels currently.

on now if you wind a bit back https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_humberside

Seems a straight forward talker...think the players will soon learn what is expected and what the consequences of not delivering will be.

Just seen his interview on Look North, said that he’d been in contact with Hurst, who told him that the club is run by good people. So Hursty told him to go for it!!
