Well he is showing that he reads the forum or we are all coaches in the making.
Has killed the Theo step overs in a matter of weeks and we look better for it.
Dropped Wilson to bench and didn’t play him. Has put Di pizzo on over him and Di Pizzo has looked much better. Should of had a couple of goals from getting into good positions in the box where keepers legs have saved it.
Alou is his next worry. Somehow is scoring but looks unable to read the play and maybe the most gifted athlete I’ve seen to have bad hand eye coordination.
He has gone for Storms consistency and. More defensive approach over Doka who is a visa so making the tough calls.
Needs to stick with Hall over Paull
Fix the Striker in January and fix Torres body position on shooting

Theo hasn't stopped the step overs. Hes just playing less time so you dont see him do it a dozen times a game.
Otherwise broadly agree with your points.

Doka is a coach killer. Like Torres wants to try the wonder shot rather than the % ball.
2nd half on Friday, cut in and effectively side footed a weak shot straight at his marker when there were players in the box.

I said after round 3, it was way to early to pass judgement we needed to wait until mid season.
I will start by saying I am impressed to date, and I will tell you for why.
A game of Football goes for lets say 90 minutes [I know it never is] but for my analysis I will use 90 minutes.
In most games we use 15 players, 4 subs, and for my analysis I will use 15 players of which 8 only play for part of the game.
The above becomes 30 players and 16 for only part of the game when we combine two teams
Throw in, goal kicks, corners, keeper holding the ball, ref chatting to players, lets assume 10 minutes and I have for this analysis.
This means we use 30 players over 80 minutes, or an average of 2 minutes 40 second per player, but thats way to simple, strikers have the ball at their feet maybe 80 seconds in a match, centre backs and keepers maybe 5 minutes with the ball at their feet.
For the sake of simplicity and rather than do a strikers, mid, defence, keeper analysis, I will say each player has the ball for 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
What Jacko has shown to me, is the off the ball tactical positioning and movement of individual players and the team, not in the 2.4 minutes a player has the ball but in the 87 minutes 20 seconds a player does not have the ball.
The off the ball positioning, in closing down passing lanes, closing space and opening up clear space to attack is better IMO than any coach we have had.
What each player and the team as a whole do off the ball, is what creates space to work in with the ball to me is a pleasure to watch.
Love to hear what others think.

Totally agreed. I've heard they work very hard on tactical positioning for every moment of the game. I spoke to one of the coaching staff who said the big difference from Monty to now is we are far more disciplined with our sturcture and harder to break down. We still have an attacking edge but are very difficult to break down and score against.

He now has a strong squad but the league is weak too.
I can see he needs a good team (all managers do) to implement his strategies. While we were getting used to him and he learned the players tendencies it was a bit easier for frustration and mistakes to happen. Settling on Hall and Kaltak has been a huge decision that has stabilized the defense and taken the pressure off the attack.
He appears to be doing a great job and yes we are alot harder to break down.
Also has an element of control and i dare say a little British or Italian of we have the goal let’s lock up the game. A League teams keep coming and we can’t help ourselves but score again.
Enjoying the differences now to Monty.
As league winners we set the trend and many have tried to copy this year and instead of standing still we have moved on and improved ourselves.
We can now play two or three different ways and this must be frustrating the other coaches when the plan for us as they don’t know how we are playing because we swap depending on who is available as well as the opponent.
A rough start has been rescued and no other team looks better than us. we might loose here and there but we are the team every one else is scared of

Excellent summary. Heartily agree.
One lovable thing about ALM is the generally high scoring nature. Partly because teams defend poorly, partly because most teams just go for it no matter what.
So I’m now wondering how long Jacko will stay in Oz. Whilst he was unknown to us he was clearly a very capable and up and coming Manager. Hearing about his great work ethic lately I’m sure he will move onto more fruitful pastures at some stage. Hopefully not too soon, I’m enjoying how he has the team playing now.

f**king hell....we are special!!!
70% of this forum slag him off as useless and we are doomed. After 8 or 9 game unbeaten there is some faint praise.....3 or 4 games later.....he is too good for us and what are we going to do now?
Holy f**k!
