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...

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...

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...

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 ...

^^ I think for me, Bertie, if he's going to go, either under his own steam or otherwise, we just need it to occur quickly. We've been told plenty that a minority or just a few not rights want him gone, but this little survey (obviously not statistically representative) suggests there might be a few...

We've been told plenty that a minority or just a few not rights want him gone, but this little survey (obviously not statistically representative) suggests there might be a few more wanting change than we're led to believe...

Dunno about people who do a better job. I can think of at least three who will be in the Champo next season... Don't disagree Jones, Santos and Thommo all abysmal on the day but I think a player such as Sheehan, a senior pro, whether or not he has a "gaffer" name badge were equally as cuplable. I'm...

He had a wobble, in February when he was on about "the world's against me." If he's that fcuking soft, then it's pretty obvious why the team is. Stats <> Bollocks. Days after being beaten (again) in a local derby and the day before a crucial fixture against a then promotion rival: "I've haven't enj...

That's pretty much the nub of it in an onfield sense. Recruitment, please weigh "a bit of gumption," and a "flash of brilliance" against "plan A" and work out the plus and minuses, instead of spreadsheeting the plusses and hoping it just works. I spoke to one BWFC bod about "character" recruitment ...
