I know its a little early but to be honest Im bored. Surely , you must be a little too. Its not just that there is precious little footy. There is also a slight unsettled feeling somewhere. Its whirling around and just wont stop still. I think we are all eager to see what the new Millers Gaffer can do. What are we in for? How long till we can draw a conclusion? Have we taken a step back? Is this a forward move? A always there will be the ayes, the nays, and the dont knows. Im a firm dont know.
Im conclusively inconclusive. Im intolerantly tolerant. Im aggressively pacifistic. I will lie to protect truth.
No wonder Im Bored. Theres nothing to do when your a wishy washy liberal. No one takes you seriously.
Steve Evans was certainly not liberal. Redders on the other hand seems to be quiet as a mouse, steady as a rock, considered as a perpendicular medieval construction and sound as a pound. Good traits if you have a winning formula. A disaster if you cant change and adapt. Apparently treated appallingly and enduring the humiliation dished out to his partner he carried on like an Admiral aboard HMS 'Im not one for complaining'. Stoical. Cellino went as far as to call Redders a coward and a baby with a weak personality. He will never win anything. He thinks he loves Leeds more than me, he said. However, once he had quietly left he banged in a lawsuit to sue the arse off Leeds
What that got to do with anything?
Well, just like Mohamed Ali showed, its possible to get battered and still come out a winner.
So, for a passively courageous and humiliatingly tolerant 15 bonus points predict one win from the fixtures below achieved by a team that had 45% possession or less. Two great examples last week were Blackburn (40%) and Birmingham (33%). Stats will be taken as usual from the BBC.
