SHEEP v BHEASTS

Quoting that timmy piece Zappa posted:

 

 

 

Tims are generally a pretty thick bunch but occasionally one shows evidence of grey matter. This guy is pointing out what I've known (and quite possibly everyone has known) ever since half way through the WBA season in the EPL where Mowbray got his team relegated quite embarrassingly - 'Mogga' is an astoundingly stubborn manager - when asked if he'd shore up his defence during that season (after yet another 4-0 mauling) he said he'd keep on playing the way he plays.

 

He cannot, will not and refuses to adapt per game and to the strengths of the players he has. Instead he persists with one rigid 'attacking' formation which completely negates defence - it's why even with a completely new set of players, he's getting exactly the same results as the old lot did.

 

Hibs was his level, a decent team who were able to be in the top 4 fairly rigidly in the SPL with a really excellent collection of players (Brown, Caldwell, Zaluiska I believe, Riorden, Jones, Sproule, Whittaker, Thomson). A team which less was expected of and which really did have a group of quality players - but not one which would get close to winning the league.

 

Put him in a much better league (EPL) and he drowned, put him in charge of Celtic and he's going even deeper.

He is indeed fundamentally flawed, and I sincerely hope he stays in the job for years to come.

 

Zaulska was bought from Dundee Utd, I think it was Zbie Malkowski who was in goals at Hibs.

 

Good points made there. His attacking philosophy is flawed and he is too stubborn to change, you would think an ex-defender would focus more on defence than attack. Although in some ways John Hughes works it quite well but he does have a reasonable squad at his disposal.
