1) From what i saw and listened to you played really well, Boga was a constant threat and but for some wonderful defending it would have been 1-1 at one point and the game could then have gone differently. What was your opinion on the game? From what I saw we were a threat without playing as a team, which bodes well.
2) Harry Redknapp divides opinion, some are huge fans and have said he is the best English manager after Brian Clough to not get the England job, others think he is a pretty average manager who hasnt really achieved much and if it wasnt for his high media profile nobody would rate him, whats your thoughts on him as a manager overall? Average manager, above average personality and, as the media drives football and thrives on personality he's lauded, which has raised our profile and allowed us to get in players we perhaps wouldn't have attracted otherwise.
3) Whats your opinion on Harry as YOUR manager? See above.
4) Fair to say you have had a poor start, but do you see it as a poor start because you simply arent good enough or is it a poor start based on bedding in period? Both. We weren't good enough so we bought in an almost entire new squad which will take time to settle.
5) You sacked Gary Rowett ( wont go into the whys and stuff as i am not informed enough to) but he went with you in a decent position and Gianfranco Zola came in and you dropped like a stone, he went and Arry came in and you survived by the skin of your teeth, in hindsight was getting rid of Gary a mistake? No. Getting rid of Rowett wasn't a mistake. Replacing him with Zola was the mistake.
6) Gianfranco Zola, was he as bad a manager as the results seemed or was he just not given enough time? Less to do with time and more to do with players not buying in to the Zola footballing philosophy. Whether that's because they couldn't or wouldn't is a matter for some speculation. Couldn't because it was rubbish or wouldn't because of the way his predecessor was dumped?
7) You have a relatively new owners, whats your thoughts on them? No idea. They live in the shadows. They've shown some ambition this last transfer window though, so no-one's asking too many awkward questions.
8) Jota, your record signing and a man that has attracted a lot of attention over the last 12months, Middlesbrough, then Fulham, then out of the blue (har har ) he was yours, just how excited were you to get him and could he be your Anthony Knockaert and inspire you to promotion? Looks the bizz. If he stays fit he'll be a huge asset, either in terms of league position or sell on fee.
9) This is just my opinion, i thought Boga was your biggest threat last night, how impressive has he been? Like him a lot and reckon he'll get better and better.
10) As well as the aforementioned Jota and Boga Harry has snapped up some impressive players, Marc Roberts, Harlee Dean, Sam Gallagher and David Stockdale to name some, first impressions of your new signings? All quality, which makes a refreshing change from shopping in the bargain basement.
11) Do you have faith that you will turn this around and come next year you will be in the promotion mix? The ingredients are there, of that I'm fairly certain but it's a long old season. Finishing anywhere above tenth will lay a few ghosts to rest and shut a few fans up (hopefully). Too early to tell whether we're top six contenders.
12) Who do you see as the top 3 this season and who do you see being the bottom 3? Honest answer? Couldn't give a f*ck.
