Warney's hairdryer and 4 other things

[Gwyther]

Forde has been a game changer at times this season.....players play better within certain "systems" - "shape" or whatever you want to call it.

There are a few young footballers needing guidance and a method of playing that's reproduced game after game.

We are rudderless - without a "manager" ......and I mean WITHOUT A MANAGER !

Blaming Stubbs and individual players is disgraceful and - I'm sorry - but nonsense!

The players need to go down now and benefit from a good coach who must be given time to establish their philosophy.

I'd have Stubbs back yesterday - a respected coach who won the Scottish cup in fine fashion - and he had 6 players when he started at that club...

That's what you call "Team building"

Look, these players are adult, professional footballers, paid to play for us, they are not above criticism. Forde is not good enough at this standard, its plain to see and if he cannot hack it he needs time on the bench or loaning to Bury. Where he has changed a game Iv not seen for myself?. He has had enough time to get up to speed, he came with high expectations but he has not lived up to them. We also have other players that are not up to standard, that's why we are where we are, a very poor team.

I do agree with ibj about Stubbs ...and also i'd have Redfearn back.

Yeah NR - AS

Both given rebuilding jobs from the foundations up - then sacked when a builder puts a boot mark on the Persian carpets......lol

You can't make omelettes without cracking eggs....

Rome wasn't built in a day

Do you wanna build a snowman !

Sorry - tablets kicking in....lol

The sad truth is we started the project with a good team of football knowledge and managerial knowledge - we were getting there and the plug pulled

Sick as and Skegness donkey.....

And now we'very got to start all over again.....yet Stubbs and his team would have kept us up and next season grow!

Scottish Cup
Team Building in Scotland

Says it all really.

Started with a squad of SIX

Started with a squad of SIX

Must have been playing 5 a side.

[mellowmiller]

AS inherited a squad of 6 players?
Camp, Mattock, Wood, Broadfoot, Belaid, Thorpe, Halford, Frecklington, Smallwood, Derbyshire, Ward.
I may have missed someone but I still make that more than 6! 😠
Don't let facts get in the way........

I watched that Cup final and it was the way they played that was exciting. Stubbs started with a hand full of players and built a squad to play entertaining football !

A national CUP is a national CUP.

But the passion and character that team showed was a reflection on the management team - and boy would I take some of that right now !

"Says it all" - Some of the best players and managers the Premiership has ever seen have been Scottish....

But crook I bet you don't know any do
you ?

Another lesson for you about big boy football

( 29% ) Burnley 1 - 1 Chelsea ( 71% )

That's the way to do it ! ! !

Mellow - I'm referring to AS in Scottish Cup and team building.

But out of those AS lost Freck's and Captain Kirk instantly ( Freck's due to NW overworking him )

Derbs - wanted away didn't he....new contract less than he's been on - not first choice - tough league.....

Now - balance that against Cyprus - easy life - good money - sunshine - pool

Sorry no brainer - gone like s##t off a shovel.

Wood & Halford just not good enough - dropped early but played due to injuries !

Thorpe & Smallwood to slow in body and mind.....rightly sent out for games and to get their act together.

Doesn't leave much to fill with a budget.

Remember AS was shocked how poor Wood and Halford were - they were to be the stalwarts of our defence - once they proved their inadequacy - the season was upon us and thanks to NW .

Huddersfield had a full squad - we hadn't started - thanks to NW.

Now that's a mountain to climb and Stubbs hadn't done and thing wrong to get this mess.

He swapped and changed and nd made understandable changes......

Take my hat off to him ( for his football decisions ) and putting up with our gross fans.....including MM

We'd by fine now.....!
