Based on a lot of interviews I've seen over the past couple of days (including a great video from Ross bringing together reporters from Cook's other teams), this is what I've gleaned:
The positives:
ATTRACTIVE FOOTBALL
Every person spoken to says that Cook's teams play attractive football. Well, we'll love that!
BEST MANAGER WE COULD GET RIGHT NOW
They all say that Cook is a Championship-level manager, and for us to get him while in League One is a coup for us. I tend to agree.
HE GETS TEAMS PROMOTED
Nuff said. Love it.
And now...the negatives...
PLAN A - 4-2-3-1. PERIOD.
This will be our formation. There will be no others.
THERE IS NO PLAN B
Even when Plan A is not working.
HE GETS PRICKLY WITH THE PRESS WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT PLAN A
So if we do hit a rough patch and, as is our wont, TWTD starts calling for 2 up front, we're gonna get a foxtrot oscar from Cook.
All in all?
I'm very happy, with a small wary look if things don't go well. |  |
