That would do. I don't want to be his bezzie. I can’t think of many managers we’ve had who I’d like ‘outside of their job’ in my estimation. Bruce for sure. Parky who is a top bloke and seems pretty much normal. The rest I struggle with. But their job is to improve our Saturday moods not take us ou...

The current one is also not very likeable and wins lots of football matches.

Aye, just not enough of 'em. I don't want to be his bezzie either!

The rumoured (and I stress rumoured) wages/bonuses to get these lads in through the door early at Rotherham are a bit eyewatering at this level. If there's any agent with a player who might fit they're walking barefoot to Rotherham if needed. Suppose we should be happy they're looking for different...

Joe Rafferty joins JCH at Rotherham. Steve Evans and two experienced, quality players. Insane may need to switch clubs at this rate. Well, if we can get a good fee for him, clearly it might be good for all parties :mrgreen: We might get a few more quid, shunting a few to Arsenal rather than Rotherh...

Either way, that gets us to 7.

The thing about continuity is it's ultimately a solid business decision. Radical change is expensive. We've made investments with a projected return. We will have a limited budget this summer. Obviously not going up costs us money every season, but cash is currently the issue. Continuity of a thing...

I'd be happy with Ashworth in a back 4. If we're looking to sign him to play in a 5 I'm officially worried. Good player, lots of headroom but never a wing back. In fact I'm convincing myself we are have to him as part of the third great formational re-set. Is Iredale under contract? You'd think he'...

I suspect not, but quite a lot of today's posts have made a strong set of arguments that then point to stick with broad approach, system etc. As being the main viable option and go for (wait for it.....). The better Plan A. I suspect plenty are a bit doubtful (in part for me, because I'm not sure 4 ...

You're not selling me on the vision here, Ghost! 🤣🤣 I know, I know :lol: He's had three proper jobs. Absolutely excelled in two and made real mistakes in the third. I actively want a manager who has experienced failure and come back better. He's played multiple styles of football with different gro...

On Ogbeta, if you tell me he's effectively number 2, he's young and I assume they think coachable, I'm sorta ok (albeit he seems much more LW than WB). Undoubtedly games where the defensive side might be less paramount where he can get game time... I'm generally happy with Randall, but he looks lik...

Out of interest, Ghost, who would top your list of replacement managers?
My appointment would be really unpopular.

Stephen Robinson.

I'd like to see the following: Improvement on backup keeper. He got better over time, but I don't trust him if Baxter is out for more than the odd game. A couple of wing backs that aren't half arsed in defence, whilst offering something going forward. 2 midfielders. 1 that will get about and help T...

The bottom line isn't in the details, I suspect, for many fans (even though it's a game of opinions). We go up this season by either route and this conversation is probably, pretty much sidelined. Given we didn't and will now be moving to our 4th L1 season, it's more of a problem. I don't like this ...

I'm not really tied to a particular formation, it's sort of why Managers exist. 352, 433, 442 which ever one gets us up. Most "formations" are meaningless now. Almost all teams play different shapes based on where the ball is at the time and players are expected to know. Very little static stuff on...

Worthy4England

There are fewer wing backs - they are highly specialised roles and I think the quality we need in those positions to specifically make this system work is exceptionally high. You are looking for players with everything in their game. I don’t think it’s the same for example at centre half in a norma...

Worthy4England

I don't doubt the veracity of that. It's often least loss of bottle takes the booty. I'm not suggesting 20 new players nor that pressure gets to players. As ever we head to the extremes to try and land a point. But you do need sufficient on your half of the pitch to get the right outcome. If I look ...

Worth noting that before we switched to a 3 some on here wanted Johnston out of the club, because he was "never a defender" in a back 4. That is absolutely not snark, by the way - but I think we'd have to assume that a Johnston coming back off a full year out and coming into a back four is unlikely...

Worthy4England

So any manager who sets us up to concede 5 goals in 10 games and to have the sort of structure they showed in the run in will I think have more joy here. I have no issue with that. You can play differently to how we do and still have the same basic principles in place. The new manager doesn't have ...
