Well it’s down to Mellon isn’t it, if it means watching that horrible bootball all next season until the last three matches knowing that we could have starting playing proper football from the off then I don’t want him here. The excitement in these last two games has been fantastic, and that is all we fans were asking for.
I will give him credit in how he seems to have changed the tactics and I do understand the mitigating circumstances. Injuries etc.
I think he knew he had to change something because the fans let him know and probably let Frank know as well that it was dour.
A word of caution though we haven’t won promotion yet. If we don’t win promotion then it won’t be the Athleticos fault that’s for sure. If anything he’s made it harder for himself, the lads have just totally blown away two of the better teams in our league and it begs the question what if Mellon had adopted the new approach from day one.
I’m not trying to put a dampener on things before a Wembley appearance it’s just that it was bloody awful bootball week in week out, and I haven’t forgot it!
