Re: Mike Dodds
You’d have thought so. Especially as you have to assume that for someone to have got that reference they probably watched Saturday night tv in the 90’s and therefore be old and grown up enough to not quite be so childish.
But hey ho, more downvotes for me for calling out that BS. Unfortunately for them, yaks have a relatively thick skin.
Re: Mike Dodds
At this point comments like that are the equivalent of having a go at a duck for quacking. Tbh the ducks are generally more coherent.
That ignore button is very good.
Re: Mike Dodds
Well done Trev, way to completely undermine the new head coach. How will he ever recover now...

Matt Butcher set up the first goal for Brizzle Rovers today in their 3-1 win over Peterborough.
Re: Rumour Mill
Shamal was injured early in the Portsmouth FA Cup game which has complicated an already strange situation.
For whatever reason Bishop isn't the answer the club thought he'd be, Shala needs to be playing week in week out somewhere, and Rav needs some competition.

Re: Mike Dodds
This is a brilliant post. I’m old enough to remember dinosaurs roaming the earth but sensible enough to realise that football evolves and change is inevitable. Gone are the days when clubs were owned by the local butcher, baker or candlestick maker, players trained by doing a few laps around the pitch and the chairman was told what to do by the manager. I can’t pretend that I like every aspect of the modern game but you either embrace it or you don’t and I for one am excited to see what the future holds. As James correctly points out, who would have thought not many years ago that clubs like Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton would even reach the PL, let alone more than hold their own at that level? There’s nothing wrong with dreaming.
Re: Mike Dodds
With his history I would suggest it is doing him a diservice suggesting he just runs some software and it spits out a player for him to persue .

Re: Mike Dodds
Recruitment has been very good. So regardless of who is in charge of that element I think the incoming coach has a good platform.
My areas of focus would be set pieces. Not sure we are at our best and Leahy is not firing on all cylinders in that department. Secondly trying to figure out formations or strategies for breaking down teams. We are still losing confidence and resorting to long balls. As per yesterday. Simply by passing the midfield. It wasn’t working yesterday but plan B wasn’t there. This is no slight on Sam Grace, we were the same with Bloomfield and to a lesser extent Ainsworth (but Ainsworth didn’t have the technical talent arguably).
I’m excited. We have a wonderful squad. With a bit of guidance we are good to go.
