Chris Powell's First Interview

AndyT · Jan 24, 2018

I think the key is that we have to get our expectations right on this one. I think we got them wrong under PB.

Powelly may well lose more games than he wins between now and the end of the season and it might take him 18-24 months to get everything right.

As long as RM and the fans accept that, then he will have time to grow into the job.

Patience is key. We may well lose on Saturday, in fact we may well lose a few in the next month or so. It's a tough start - Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Wigan, Portsmouth - all very good sides for this level. What is important is that we stay in this division, with this squad and under Powell I'm confident we'll do that and build from there but the new management team will need time to get things right. There's no magic wand in this situation.

Chris Powell has no responsibility for where we find ourselves. Judgment will be made about the quality of players he starts to bring in to the club.

You can't get a much tougher start. Saying that we should be strong enough to give anyone in this league a tough time at roots hall. We were unbeaten for a long time until PB started fiddling around with the tactics.
