Richard Wood

[Derbymiller]

New manager or not, for me we need to play our best players as far as we possibly can. Wood may be past his best, may struggle to get into most championship teams and may even be no longer be even good enough for this league. But quite simply he's among the best 2 central defenders we have in the squad at the moment, let alone best 3 if playing 3 at the back. So I'm sure MT will play him as much as he can. Simple as that in my opinion. I'm sure the manager still has much to prove but even if not good enough, wouldn't be stupid enough to start grudges, just because Wood was captain under the last manager. Least I hope not!

MT spoke positively about Wood yesterday, so perhaps this split between them is just crap

Exactly, because Mr Nice didn’t have the bottle to sort it out himself

And how do you know this? Did you spend a lot of time in the dressing room when he was manager? Or is it just another of your 'know it all' comments.

You really should try and peel yourself away from your 'lappy'. There is a whole life out there.

I thought the best thing about Warne leaving was that we’d no along have to listen to your little digs at him every day, but he’s been gone months and they still continue. They were tedious when he was he was here, it’s beyond boring when he isn’t.

MT doesn’t have an issue with Wood

I’m not sure the Wood keeping the players discipline thing for Warne is true.

Warne could hold his own and Richie Barker was very much the disciplinarian.

I saw Warne send a first team player home from the training ground when I was doing some work up there. I was with a group of 16 year olds and they’d never been so well behaved.

Looks that way. Sure he wouldn't play him if he did. If mt is going to succeed he needs to use all experience at his disposal and I'm sure he will.

Thing is Warne relied on woody to Marshall the dressing room.

He had authority and Warne relied on him to sort internal problems In the dressing room.

Maybe Taylor doesn't want a player with that much influence and unlike Warne isn't afraid off confrontation.

How do you know that? Are you an insider?

No he's just someone who can't spell "of." 😉

[mygiddypant]

Did you ever listen to Warne make the Half time team talk at Pompey last season(on the BBC podcast)? I can't reconcile listening to him going ballistic at the team work your constant saying that he couldn't do that?

Grist and his ilk don't worry about evidence. They live in a Trumpian world of make believe. Make it up. Believe it.

Is Taylor too young to be respected by some.
