Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

Maybe there's been a rethink?
I'd be up for it

You can't please all the people all the time

Very true. One thing you can guarantee is whoever is chosen and accepts the position will disappoint and annoy some fans

It blows my mind that after nearly a month’s wait for a new Head Coach and 18 months of Stuart Maynard before that, some fans are still turning their nose up at LW.

In his only full season, we got more points than we have ever had in a single campaign in our history. Granted it was in the National League, but we hadn’t looked remotely capable of anything like that in our previous three seasons in that division under our previous managers.

The defence thing is interesting. We didn’t concede a lot in the promotion campaign, but it was clear we needed strong reinforcements in goal and at the back that didn’t come. They’re now here. Instead, we added McGoldrick and Crowley to an already stacked frontline and Jodi caught fire. There was no cover for Palmer or Bostock, who wasn’t the same player in the EFL.

In other words, all of our best players were attack-minded, so it was logical to go with the free flowing approach even if it did mean some mental scores we may never see again. With that squad, it was probably our best hope of going up. When Maynard tried to tighten it up with the same personnel, it didn’t work and we were much worse.

So I’d expect it to be a little more sensible with a more balanced squad this time around, if he were to come back (which I don’t think he is, as by the looks of it he’d have even less say than before).

Tend to think if LW was set on coming back and the bros are set on him coming back it would have been done by now with him being a free agent and there?s not a lot of if any due diligence needed from either side.

I?m wondering if it is Hojer, if wiki (IF) is correct he signed a contract with Denmark u21s till this summer and their last game in the summer is tomorrow night, plays possession football and might explain the delay.

And at 3 to 1 now.
