New Manager?

Do not forget that Williams turned Macca into a 9 as he played from the left for Gateshead.

You also have to construct the patterns to allow players to score the goals they do. If we would have played long ball, Macca does not score 42 goals.

Similar to Jatta this season and the amount of chances we have created - that does not just happen. Thats coached.

It worked for him at Notts because of the way we played. But now it has probably done him no favours, with him no longer looking a goal threat in the number 9 role...

Agree I think we?re pretty well coached, there?s always a pass on most times and that doesn?t happen by chance. SM said yesterday we had the highest xg this season, don?t know if it?s 100% true or not but with it feeling a bit laboured at home this season seems amazing we create the most chances out of the whole league.

Some interesting stats here, including AJ having the highest xG and Notts being third in the expected points table, based on xG for and against:

But if he does not score 71 in 97 then he does not even stand a chance of moving upwards. Macca will have backed himself to have made an impact, pretty much all footballers would back themselves.

More power to Williams elbow too, getting such a tune out of him.

A very a nice profit made on his indeed. Great buy, good sale

Another thing, Williams like Maynard didn't choose the squad he had to coach. But one coach had a a strong personality and drive and one doesn't. At the end of the day, being a confidence man matters. Or you can be a Rodney. The choice is Bros's.

Without a proper structure and patterns of play, players raw ability will only take them so far. Just look at the type of goals Macca scored; I do not remember him just picking the ball up, beating 6-7 men and scoring very often. He pretty much finished off moves. Moves that were the result of training and coaching.

We have had over two dozen managers since Warnock, picking their own players.

Much prefer the current approach
