Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
This is no disrespect to Sam Grace, but I only see him as an excellent youth / U21 manager because I think he has the personality to nurture and get more out of someone who is developing their skills rather than driving 1st teamers to achieve more and make his feelings known when they haven't met that standard.
I've never met him but that's what I see from him
Re: Rumour Mill
So you would have a possibly fit Westergard in place of the Leahy who has set up a few goals and scored one or two?
What if Westergard is a complete bag of poo for the first few games until he is fit enough, or gets injured pulling a hamstring because he isn't fit enough to yet be included?
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
I wouldn't go that far! But he doesn't come across great at times.

Thank you for accepting my apology, I'll be more inclusive in my group messages in the future

Whatever else you can say about this process it certainly hasn't been quick!
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
Drysdale is awful, but I aways get the impression he's a bit of a homer ! So seeing as we're at home hopefully he'll give decisions in our favour tomorrow
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
We've had him once, Blackpool away. He missed the assault on Harvie (I think?) that led to their first equaliser and a subsequent three match ban for their lad that was given after the game. So yes, he was crap
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
We need someone to galvanise this team and get them over the line to promotion. Sam is obviously part of the new culture and it's great to have him at the club, but he is a stop-gap and despite his unbeaten run, I'm not sure he's the one to push the first team on.
If we are going to pick a 'name' League manager, it's much harder than a foreign coach being given the job, as most have had peaks and troughs (who would have thought we would be challenging for the title under Blooms?) and someone who was a success elsewhere might be a disaster here (eg Gaz to QPR) and vice versa.
If people like Johnson and Evatt always end up blaming other people..that might not go down well with the people they will end up blaming!
