Kevin and Baz

What a difference these made to the game plan and tactics yesterday which follows on from the news that certain players had grown unhappy with the training and tactics of JB.

It was for me the best 90 minutes we've seen at the Globe for a long time and although it appeared that Orient didn't play that well it was more down to our pressurizing and non stop work ethic that curtailed any match dominance that we have seen from the opposition on too many occasions.

I'm probably in the minority but for me I'd be delighted if the selection Board put off any decision about management until they have given both Kevin and Baz an extended run to see if they can repeat yesterdays performance on a regular basis for the rest of this season.

It would appear that they have the backing of the players which is super critical as we battle for our continued EFL status'

Other SVers may disagree and would prefer an outsider (please NOT Brian McDermott who I would suggest is an option put forward by our owners and one that I suspect is not appreciated by the home based Board) but given our position any new appointment would have to assess the squad before making changes which could by then see us well and truly in the poo.

Kevin in particular showed a different side to his character, no longer the joke maker, more a thoughtful tactician who encouraged the players to take the game to the opposition whilst Baz was the silent observer passing instructions as was necessary.

It's sometimes better to stick with what you know ( ie Kevin and Baz) than introduce an unknown especially in our financial position where we are constantly reminded that we have no money for squad improvements or has that been a ruse by the owners to enusure that JB resigned..... :?: :?: :?:

Agree with everything except the last paragraph. I think we are in such a difficult position that we have to run with Kev and Baz for as long as we can keep getting results like yesterday. I'd give them until Christmas and see where we are then.

This is the "Honeymoon period" right now.

Although id like an "Outsider" Rod Taylor doesn't need to rush the next appointment, in a way Rod can dragg his feet in the Interview stages giving Kevin, Barry and John a bit of time.

The players looked happy with what they were doing yesterday. That is massive. It wasn't complicated stuff that needs drilling day in day out on the training ground. They looked like a weight had been lifted and played with confidence. Kev, Baz and John deserve massive credit but so do the fans as well.

As I've said on another thread, I'd like to see them given at least November in charge. The reason for that is that, if someone else is coming in, and they're going to have money for the January transfer window, they'll need some time to get to know the squad and where they want to strengthen. If we keep playing like yesterday though, stick with Kev & Baz.

Trouble is that's too late for a new manager to bring in new signings/new loanees in the transfer window.

Someone needs to be lining up new players to come in and be talking to existing loanees/their clubs about whether they're staying till the end of the season.

If no new manager is appointed yet, Kev & Baz will have to do that as it's not something that can be delayed if the right decisions are to be made in the transfer window.

For some it was, get somebody with no connection's but it would be folly to change what was seen by all yesterday,
Review in January and stick with a winning formula, brought to you by two more legend's who live and breathe the club.

Yesterday was fantastic and the atmosphere reflected that. Kev and Baz deserve all the plaudits but there is no winning formula. The players have been told they are not up to it all season but they flicked the V's yesterday and proved they can win League 2 games. Talk of Kev and Baz remaining in charge are a bit premature for me.

Well done Kev & Baz, never seen Kev with a serious face on for so long, great attitude, "AJ will have a good 20 minutes in him" - how true!

I'm glad that Kev hasn't lost his sense of humour. On Radio Lankyshite the other night he said:

"Baz and me have a love/hate relationship... He loves me and I hate him!"

Classic...
