Most weren't happy that the other guy, couldn't do better than losing by only 2 goals to Peru.
That other guy didn't get many non Oceania games (admittedly he had a couple), against sides as weak as India, Kenya & Formosa.
Similar games from memory under Hudson - Myanmar (current ranking 138 - draw), Oman (84 - won), Thailand (122 - lost). He had more full strength squads than Schmid for sure, but all those 3 games were away (ie not at neutral venues).
Promising signs, but early days for the Austrian. And his close links with Heraf will raise some questions over his tenure.
Not to mention that the football Schmid wants us to play is infinitely more positive than anything under Hudson. Hope there’s no more lumping balls forward to Wood scoring zero against Papua New Guinea. Hudson’s like Heraf right now compared to him
Also, Schmid seems a lot less arrogant and is very willing to listen to the fans, public etc. and take criticism or advice, as opposed to Huddo who just brushed it off because he was above other’s opinions. Take for example Schmid coming to the forums to look for Kiwi players we wanted to be called up
