    I thought it was warming when Gary said he is so excited and can’t wait for tomorrow. His suit is pressed, shirt ironed, and shoes polished all ready for tomorrow:)

    I am trying to remember the last manager who wore a suit on match days. Parky was pretty tidy, McCall was a scruff bag, Hopkin turned up in managers training gear.

    Let’s hope he has instilled some pride and confidence into the players. No hoof ball either, this could be very interesting.

    He could walk out stark b0llock naked for me - all I care about is that we win, and I don’t care about the ‘brand’ of football either!

    The whole team could learn a lesson from my grandson, who has to wear a shirt, club tie and trousers following every Sunday U14 game in Rugby, at lunch time.

    I know many will say it doesnt matter. But to me the manager should always be suited and booted on matchday, not dress like one of the lads in training ger. It just gives off that air of authority and respect required. Loved Gareth Southgates attire during the World Cup for example

    He’s growing on me more and more with each day.

    I really hope he succeeds. He’s got the right ideas. I’d have him next season regardless.

    Of course what matters most is the three points. How ever do it!

    Just thought it was really nice to see a manager relaxed and excited both at the same time, and trying to put both the fans and players at ease.

    Bowyer comes across really well.

    No negative nonsense like Grayson when he said we were lucky to have him in his first press conference.

    got a good feeling about tomorrows game :D

    Couldn't careless if he was wearing a birthday suit.

    Only 3 points tomorrow matter.

    yes. I remember when Grayson had the team suited and booted and everyone thought it guaranteed success.

    surprisingly, it didn't.

    don't give a toss what he wears, or what the squad wear - it's results that matter.

    Perhaps and maybe. Yet how you dress, and present yourself speaks volumes. Better to have pride, than no pride.

    You can't polish sh*t, unfortunately.

    Suits and Boots won't save us from the drop.

    folk such as @Park bantam@Park bantam were crowing when Grayson had the squad rock up in suits on a match day, basically saying it meant we'd win the league.

    i told him it didn't matter what they wore, doesn't make a difference on the pitch. I was proved correct.

    Being disciplined and smart does matter in life. And it matters for sportsman to if you have pride in yourself you are in a better position to achieve

    Under such circumstances I believe he would prefer to be referred to as Mr Bowyer rather than Gary in order to avoid an impression of familiarity that could prove uncomfortable. It's a clear message that he's in charge. Just hope he doesn't bring a brolly.
