a question open to all fans on here.............how do you think Scott Brown is doing so far? Do we feel more or less positive about the team.?

He's won every game we realistically expected to win and only lost by a goal to the top two teams in the league and we probably should have taken 2 if not 4 points from those performances, you can tell his standards are high and he expects the club and the players to try and meet those standards, excited to see where it goes from here.

Did they say what folk should do if they're not paying the permit fee? And what do folk actually do?

My neighbour doesn't have one. He uses my garden waste bin. He does ask me first, mind.

Other than that you can book a slot at the tip and take it there. If you are lucky enough to be around with the reduced opening times.

Our binmen are pedants as well, any attempt to put stuff in the wrong bin and they leave the whole bin unemptied. I suppose that's if you are daft and leave the mix at the top. As long as its buried deep they wouldn't know.

I think the thing that’s most evident so far under Brown is that you can see some form of game plan and understand that there’s an actual idea of how to win the game. The back four sit far narrower off the ball which has its own pros and cons. We try and use the ball on the ground but weren’t afraid to go more direct on Tuesday with the wind behind us and ultimately scored two goals from a long ball. Players also look like they have specific instructions. Syla being someone who’s clearly been told to come deeper to receive the ball, Murphy sits narrower to give us an extra man etc. It never felt like that under Bullen and that was ultimately his downfall. We also play at a far higher intensity with more of a physical edge under Brown. Not in a dirty way but we’re less likely to be bullied. 
 

It could still go very wrong for Brown this season or next but the initial signs are promising. As I said a lot will come down to how we get on over the summer.

I missed that game as well. 

Edit - Is there a McGinty picture with him booting f**k out of the baw?

Aye this. Added to that, is the changes during the game. It often felt like Bullen just didn't have any idea how to change the game in our favour, and on many occasions he just wouldn't make any changes until late in the game (if at all) despite it being very obvious that we were desperately struggling to get a grip in the game.

Brown isn't scared to use his bench and will change things if he feels it is necessary - that goes as far as complete changes to shape and style depending on the circumstances. He has also proven he is prepared to be slightly ruthless in making changes if he feels it is needed. 

It is early days and of course not everything has been rosey - some tactical changes have been detrimental to our overall performance (the switch to a back 5 the other night didn't do us any favours, for example) but they're still getting a grip on the squad and understanding the ways to tinker with the limited quality we have to see games out.

Additional positives are the level of fight and dig we have seen in getting a few of the recent wins over the line.

It's football, so it could all go wrong in the next few weeks, but so far, I'm very pleased. A couple more wins in the next few games and i'll be over the moon.
