We need a defensive coach urgently

How are you confused??? I've asked you straight or heavily hinted at least 3 or 4 times now but thanks for responding.

I know the state of the club when he came in, and I know where he left us, it's the big bit in between which gets people all hot and bothered on here XD

I assume you rightly praised NA defensively but correctly criticised him for a lack of attacking threat?

If that assumption is correct, then IB should get the reverse shouldn't he? Some criticism for his side's defensive displays but plenty of praise for getting a team to create so much and score so many?

Surely we all want success for our beloved Stylish Magpies , in fact there is already a well established Burchnall Bandwagon that's been very nicely chugging along after an understandably sticky slow start.

Melton - “We need a defensive coach”

Burchnall - “I’m going to sign one of the league’s highest rated speedy wingers to play at wing back”

Looks like we are going to employ a defensive coach arent we ?
I accept the apologise from the posters who ridiculed the very idea when i put this thread out there last week. Some on here will try to split hairs by saying it is not a defensive coach but a coach dealing with corners set pieces and free kicks etc and claim it involves both ends of the pitch. Yea ok ……… i think most on hear will accept where the main role will concentrate its efforts on dont we.

Oops!!

Trust me he isn't XD

Kelton can I suggest you actually read the detailed job description before you ask for any apologies buddy.

I can't see the word defensive or defence mentioned once maybe I've missed it. Whoever we hire I definitely want them to cover attacking set plays as well not just defensively.

The problem with folk like you Neal is that when goals are conceded everyone always blames the defenders. The reality is that players further up the pitch don’t do their jobs well enough but because they score a few no one gives a ****.

Good luck at Solihull. Except when you play us. 😜
