Agree, I barely got through it, just repeating the same cod philosophy and stories.

JJB could have the motivational skills of Brian Mclennan (which is very doubtful) and he'd still be the wrong person for the job.

Right now we need a team builder of a coach not a rabble rouser, even if the latter might have some short-term effect.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting he gets the job full time, but we are where we are.

I'm not saying he's the man for the job going forward, I do though think that the psychology of players and the mental preparation massively lacks consideration and that would be a priority of Jamie's. And even in the short team it's clear the team needs this.

Anyway, lets hope he gets some response out of them cos we badly need it.

Maybe a 22 year old player who’s playing in a team with no confidence might listen to someone who has gone through some adversity and built his successful career through hard work and determination.

And importantly enjoying what he does too. I'm a real cynic at heart and as an atheist his talk of spiritual faith does nothing for me but I know who I'd rather be lead by when the chips are down.

What we need right now is someone who's going to get us out of a relegation battle.
JJB might get a reaction and get some points on the board to do that.
But he's obviously not the long term answer - surely GH sees that.
We need to take our time to appoint someone to get the club back in the top 4 and challenging for trophies.
That's not JJB.
I'm convinced he wants Carr.
I think he's seen something in him that he really likes.

As much as I liked JJB as a player, I find his rambling tiresome and would probably have a negative effect on motivation.

I am concerned as I see no traits that will make him a good coach, and our record defensively under him this season has been poor. I feel we could get even worse (if that's even possible) under his stewardship and thus, require the new coach bringing in ASAP. Likewise, we don't want to rush an appointment and recruit another poor choice. We are not in a great position as it currently stands.

We’ve no other choice at the moment, let’s see how he goes, hopefully he’ll surprise a few.

Maybe his motivational ‘ramblings’ might work in the interim, clearly Agars motivational talks weren’t helping.

Yes he does and i know a few ex players have come out and said exactly the same and I'm sure Kev would say the same too. I'm not for one minute suggesting he's the long term answer but I'm getting behind him for now, he deserves that at least.
