Have you guys not heard him on Forest podcasts before? He's a lovely fella who clearly has a very deep seated affection for the club. There's a lot to like about him and his team will be very easy to get behind.
I don't think he's as one dimensional or defensive as he's made out to be. I think he's pragmatic and has played the hands he's been dealt - he never had the kind of quality, flexibility or depth in the Burnley or Everton squads that he does here, so I'm optimistic. I realise there's an amount of hopium going on here, but still.
Not least because there will be a good structure in front of the defence, rather than midfielders randomly distributed over the pitch.
Hopefully Sels can then revert to a keeper proving me wrong that he's perfectly serviceable, but on a spell of great form, rather than the opposite.
I really find it hard to get my head around a modern style of football that dispenses with the hard learned lessons of decades, for a stupid fashion. Except that most teams are trying to develop players for other teams to buy, rather than being the best they can be. And development is not directly correlated to winning.
