Is this really the sign of a good coach?

I love this photo of me and I’ve been thinking about it and agonising over my body language for the past few couple of days. On one hand, you can see the frustration ingrained throughout my face and body yet we’d just won 5:1. But I wasn’t totally happy with our performance for a variety [...]

QPR 1:0 Birmingham

I came to the game in a positive mood. I guess I wasn’t going to be beaten seeing as it was my birthday and the players came out with the same attitude. I just sensed Birmingham were there for the taking and felt if we went for it, we’d find success.
