O/T:- Swansea

On that basis, Jimmy Sirrel was nothing special. He had the luxury of Masson, Needham, Stubbs and Bradd etc.

I prefer to remember it differently.

That's not what he was saying though is it.

He was comparing the squad LW had compared with IB and NA.

It is clear he had better players to work with.

A score prediction based on that? I'll go 6-1. Teams usually let up.
I'd love them to go 1 better than the 8-1 they beat us, 8-0 or 9-0 would be incredible

Yes, but we had the " hateful eight" playing for us, including the useless Duffy.

Good riddance to him...Lets see what the Swans fans think of his passing around the back, losing possession and conceding soft goals every week..

Talk about a glass half empty, yours has never had anything in it.😜

Or did he play a big part in making them better players? Would Notts County and Macauley Langstaff have scored so many goals and won so many games under NA or IB?

I don’t think so, what’s your opinion?

Ok, I will answer your question:

He obviously did improve them, and I don't think we would have won so many games nor scored so many goals. However, I do think that Langstaff would have scored a lot of goals because he is a natural. I think IB may have got us to 2nd, but not with such a big gap over 3rd.

Now how about you answer my question;

Was the squad that LW had better than IB or NA had?

He scored over 35 goals without him....

Was the squad that LW had better than IB or NA had?

Yes. It’s something we’ll never know, but I think if we had stuck with NA or IB we would still be a National League club.

I think Luke Williams was the catalyst that made the experiment work.

Ive had a couple tonight than you very much, and the glass was very full..

Jimmy couldnt have watched them as most games then were 3pm Saturday so stop talking bollox.

He went to to watch them playing on Tuesday night in the North Midland Reserve League, and later on the Pontins League...

The thing with football management is that the players are either good enough or not. The whole stats thing about management is Horlicks.. there are some on here that say that Pep is cack, yet his win rate is up there with the best in the world.
At the end of the day managers are as good as the players that play for them…. Cotterill would have been **** if not for Hughes, Kasper etc
