The Nestor Model

[baggieal]

For me, the best sides have a blueprint and stick to it. Otherwise you have to keep overhauling players to match a new managers style. It also gives us a clear statistical approach towards finding players which helps us to find talents.

It also gives the academy something to follow, making it easier to get them into the team.

In time, you keep improving the quality and you get more competitive. In theory at least. Liverpool do it and its worked well. Klopp went but they still play 433 high press. Brentford are also big advocates.

I don’t think Mowbray followed what the club wanted at all and I think he resisted the approach. He was a disaster of an appointment.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, For me we need to develop more Fellows and Heggem type of players and sell them on at a big profit. Selecting players like Wallace to start when he?s been a sub for a year and clearly past it is not following any model but going backwards. Mason needs to be ruthless with selections and braver with our young kids. Two minutes for Bostock yesterday when the game was lost at 3-0 was a poor poor decision.

This possession based football of 15/20 passes before it?s in the oppositions box is complete bollox and tedious. What model does this follow?

Millwall were slaughtered by Coventry and we took the handbrake approach. Bringing the better players on later is not rotating them as you would be better starting with the best team and when we have a grip on the game make changes and give certain players a rest. Wallace is ok to come on later but to start FFS and still he?s the captain? Joke!

A mate of mine went and said the criticism of Wallace is laughable. He was the only one on the pitch putting in 100% and trying to drag us forward.

Away at Millwall is not the place for a young talent. They bully players like that, which is what Collyer experienced.

If there is criticism of Mason, it would be the management of Mowatts time. I read that he has not started for us 8 times in last two seasons and we only won one of them. This tells us two things, how integral he is and that we have no backup player that can control like he can. This is something they probably thought Collyer would fix.

At Mowatts age, he probably cant play 3 times in 8 days without risk and consequence, as he isnt shy of a knock. So maybe with better planning he should have started against Millwall instead of Norwich.

Very astute observation!
