Management team completed at AFCB

Jason Tindall has named Stephen Purches as his assistant manager as expected and he has added Graeme Jones, recently manager of Luton Town, to his coaching staff. Many like Kris Temple had suggested that Stephen Purches was more manager material than JT, but the two will work together to try and get AFCB back to the Premier League.

JT gets his management team around him
They have a difficult job and with the management set-up now complete, they have no time to waste. I am particularly keen to see an improvement in the way the team defends but I don't expect a quick change in the way the team goes about games. There are new positions for the boys, but it is pretty much the same voices and that does concern me a little.

The main feeling that JT has to get across is that he is pleased to be in charge and has some good ideas as to how to make the team more resurgent. With the first couple of training sessions under his belt, he should start to be feeling the part now. He has a solid friend in Purches at his side and I am sure Steve Fletcher and Simon Weatherston will encourage and try and get some jollity back in the camp.

It is a new beginning, but it seems like it could be very reliant on the past. JT must look forward and set his own standards. He can't try and compete with what Eddie Howe did and he has to judge himself against the other current Championship managers.

Let's hope he can win some of the pre-season friendlies and get a confidence boost for the start of the season. UTCIAD!

    Just being in the Championship dictates a change in style, which will now have to be more possession based. Since 2015, the Championship has changed quite a bit, with an influx of more technical managers, and defences are now much better organised. Note how several teams also now require two top goalkeepers - who wouldn't be out of place in Premiership (eg Cardiff, Fulham).
