Sorry but how does him throwing a few quips in to his interview have any bearing on his ability as a manager? It's not confidence with him, it's downright arrogance the way he speaks. His quote above about expecting to beat 'teams like West Brom and Southampton' is ****iness, not confidence.
Anyway, regards to the game I thought it was very even and could have gone either way. That's how it will be under Sherwood I'm afraid. I'd say only five or six teams have superior quality to us in their starting elevens but we are handicapped by Tim hugely so will drop points like yesterday plenty of times. Holtby-Eriksen in midfield is just asking for trouble, no wonder they cut us open through the middle so much. Despite our late pressure I never felt confident in us scoring the winner.
Last on Match of the Day, frequently dropping points at the Lane and being spoken down on by large parts of the media... the trip to midtable mediocrity is well under way I'm afraid folks.
