Slav knows vultures are circling!

gives his impressions
on the recent Fans’ Forum
Those lucky enough to attend the Fans Forum last week got to hear Slaven’s targets for this season. To make a long story short: There is no points target and there is no overall position target.
The objective is clear. Play every game at 100 per cent and all will fall in place, including how we approach the FA Cup and the League Cup. Smart words from the new boss.
We have seen before how missing your target by even a single point can determine your season a failure, and as we all know, this season in particular the critics and the Big Sam faithful are waiting for any excuse to chip in and spread the ‘I told you so’ vibes.
Everything would indicate that Slav fully understands the challenges ahead and is also entirely aware the vultures are lurking already. He’s entirely at ease with the fans (as our picture shows) and a straight talker.
He also understands that nobody needs the added pressure of another target to meet. Let’s also remember how we were relegated with what was considered a ‘safe’ points total. It really is just added pressure.
Time will tell if this approach is the right one Personally, I think it’s spot on but I also believe he has a secret and personal target of a strong top ten.
You don’t have two strong personalities like Bilic and Dicks leading your team and hope to finish with a ‘yeah whatever’ points total!
