The footballing season is approaching the busiest time of year, with seven games in quick succession leading up to the end of the year. The team has mixed feelings about their chances in these games, but they are hopeful for some wins. The recent victory against Bristol City was satisfying, particularly because of Adam Idah’s late goal. Idah has also been scoring for the Republic of Ireland during international matches, which is a positive development for him. The team also had their Christmas party booked for Sunday night after the victory, which reminded the coach of a similar situation in 1999 where a win resulted in an enjoyable celebration.
The team is now focused on their upcoming games against Preston and Sheffield Wednesday. The coach believes that the team has a good chance of winning against Preston due to the momentum they have built up. However, the match against Sheffield Wednesday is expected to be a tougher challenge because of the new team coach and their recent performance. The coach is hopeful that the team can secure victories in these upcoming games and continue to build their winning streak. He stresses the importance of maintaining focus and not getting distracted by the prospect of an upcoming derby match.
He also expresses disappointment with Delia Smith’s recent comments at the club’s AGM, particularly her remarks about fans and journalists. He believes that her comments were rude and disrespectful, and he feels that she and her fellow owner, Michael Wynn Jones, have shown a lack of respect for the fans. He compares their behavior to that of other club owners and expresses the view that their lack of acceptance of criticism is damaging for the club. Lastly, he praises Mark Attanasio, an American owner who has a successful plan for running a sports franchise, and contrasts his approach with that of other American owners who have been less successful.
