Post Match Manager Comments

Thought it was interesting hearing the post match comments of our present manager and our previous manager. In Simmo I believe we have an honest and straightforward manager who tells it like it is and gives an honest assessment. With Davies, we had someone who always looked for excuses.
Compare the two from this morning's Championship programme and see what I mean:
Paul Simpson said:
Luton thoroughly deserved the 3 points today, they were brighter, more determined in challenges and blocks around the edge of the box and we can't complain. I'm disappointed with our performance from the start, from the first whistle, but I'm not going to take anything away from Luton, they deserved the victory today.
Now compare that honest assessment with Davies' post match whinge and excuse fest
Billy Davies said:
I look at a number of things here and one of the things I look at is on both occasions we have played against West Brom and on those occasions we have given them or they have had 24 hours more recovery than we had and I think that's crucial when you come to end of a very difficult week and we certainly have done that and we have not got the same squad depth that they have got and with some teams you could call that an unfair fight but you've got to do the best you can.
Do I miss post match Davies analysis? Do I hell! Much happier with Simmo!
 
I did agree that it was a little unfair on us to have the game at WBA so soon after we had played, and where they had been given one extra day of preparation at a point in the season (August Bank Holiday) where teams should all be on the level playing field of two games in two days. I also felt our early kick off at Ipswich last year had the same problem 😀

However, it is very refreshing to hear honesty from the manager about the performances and not constant relying on excuses.
