Excited about the new gaffer but in truth don’t know much about him, apart from having a strong West Country accent and strong personality. What style of football are we likely to see, a Jolley 4-3-3 or Buckley 4-4-2? Watched some stuff on YouTube and briefly concluded he is a good dancer and will be ruthless with players who are late for training. Good podcast with the Beast, Jon Parkin worth a watch.

Looking forward to his first signings, I think he’ll bring in a few high profile experienced vets and I predict he’ll make Max Wright a million plus player in 18 months.

I expect to see some fast attacking football with emphasis on passing and movement surely it will bring goals.

I loved IH's Plymouth team of 06/07.  He played 4-4-2 with very wide wide players and midfielders breaking into the box.  It was the most 'Buckley' style team I'd seen since the glory days of Buckley Mark1.
IH's Blackpool team just opened the pitch up and worked on outscoring the oppo - also a huge joy to watch.  I do think this was a great use of the talent he had at his disposal (rather than a philosophical way of playing) - great (attacking) wingers, attacking midfielders and good centre forwards and not many people who could do the 'dirty' side of the game.
Should be fun to watch IMHO.

UTM!

We should not expect instant success it will take Ian a while to work his magic.

BUT

It will be fun from the start . ;D

I thought he was a 442 long ball type of manager.

I think it will take time but I’d expect better shape and injuries permitting some consistency in selection.

Incomings & outgoings? We’ll see a couple loaned out and a couple come in. Don’t expect anyone well known but would like a bit more experience in mid field and if we bring any U23 loans in I hope their at a similar level as Embelton was last season.

This is exciting but let’s not lose sight of the fact that the current squad is ok when everyone is fit but becomes this very quickly when a couple are crocked and we haven’t got cash to burn.

All that said I’m just glad we can talk about some positives for a change.

Summed up perfectly for me so this.
