    Still, the game is all about opinions!
    Durhams glass is always totally empty

    Will some expert explain to me why oh why we don't do the obvious, please ...
    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I agree though, having defenders on the post is useful but with the amount of free headers we let teams win at corners I'd imagine that's why we don't do it. Jones was obviously under instruction to "retreat" to the near post if the ball went over him as he does that but nobody does it at the back post. Crossley seems to be in charge of setting us up at set pieces so maybe he see's it from the goalkeepers perspective and they don't like having defenders on the line? Who knows.

    He was constantly injured and/or not 100% fit!

    Its not a difficult answer!

    I don't think he'll change to a ball playing style and frankly I hope he doesn't, we won't get promoted like that IMO.

    Hopefully he'll channel the spirit of Warnock and sign powerful, pacy, and most of all talented attackers and play a more precise version of the at times aimless direct football we've seen this season.
    My sentiments precisely anyone who could take a squad of Never Has Been's and achieve what he has done in 18 months deserves a Medal, not the threat of the Sack, absolutely crazy talk.

    Nolan's Army Marches on with some new faces and legs for me.

    I wouldn't say they were never has beens, a lot of them were brought in from League One and above by Sheridan (Duffy, Dicko, O'Connor, Collin etc), Moniz (Milsom, Hewitt, Stead) and Nolan (Jones, Grant, Yates). They were all horrifically managed by Sheridan though.
