Hopefully three point s in the bag for the boys in blue

Motown Fox said:I live in Sheffield so we gotta beat Wednesday else I will have them all gloating at me Saturday night at my daughters 18th birthday party.
I can't make it this time, although I saw the last 3 (2 draws and extra time cup win) as gotta get stuff ready for the party
PFKAKTF FOX said:Optimism personified ....again Stevo ! Cheer up mate you seem really down in the dumps at the moment. Nobody is relegated or promoted in September so lets not get too carried away whatever the result.

Steven said:Not fair, it is just that there too many things about the Club at the moment that remind me of the 80's. :icon_sad:

Leigh said:Was Connolly one of our biggest players? By reputation perhaps but not by performances, in my opinion. If we'd sold some of the real talent we have, like Hughes and Stearman then I'd be worried.

PFKAKTF FOX said:I wasnt having a dig at you stevo, I know what you mean, but I think CL is very different than previous "saviours" such as Brian Little and Martin O'Neill, they adopted an approach that bought pretty much instant results although it did take a dozen or so games with MON, but they concentrated purely on the first team, they signed players who were ready for the first team and dare I say apart from Joachim under Little, and Heskey under MON they ignored the youth side of the club.
This approach allowed the club to move quickly out of the doldrums, but the foundations were built on sand and meant that as soon as a manager like PT was appointed the clubs frailties were exposed, and we ended up crashing back down to earth with an almighty bump. With CL he appears to be concentrating on all aspects of the club, promising academy players are playing reserve team football, to the detriment of results but these players will benefit massively from these experiences, also CL has ridden the club of all the deadwood and replaced it with promising younger players on longer term contracts, many of these players are still learning and are far from the finished article, CL is buying players for the future as well, Joe Hamill was signed but with the future in mind, CL is not here just to make a few quick fixes, he is here to build a long term legacy that enables this club to develop its own star players, deliver good, energetic and entertaining football and provides a team and club the fans can relate to.
This process will take a lot longer to bear success, than the BL and MON era's but in IMO will have more long term benefit to LCFC than anything achieved under these previous managers. Give CL time, he is showing us he wants to be here for a long time he is not here to use this club as a stepping stone, he is building this club up from the bottom and it could be another 12 months before we are in a position to be challenging for the top 2, but when we do get there we will be in a position to sustain the momentum and really kick on with this club.
