That’s not what happened with Coyle but ok. Literally worked there at the time and was directly involved, but okay. By the relegation Gartside was already in full on disaster mitigation mode. He was trying to persuade Eddie not to turn the taps off and already knew it was a trickle at best. It was ...

The world doesn’t work like ‘oh we’ve either got to fully commit to him or not’ It's the only way football works. Coyle is a prime example of just that issue. We kept him on through a summer to "see how it went" and could have fixed a lot of issues by sacking him. When we did sack him, after not gi...

Lets try this slightly differently. :-) I think (whatever the view of the respective strengths of the Division next season), that anything below play-offs would certainly be disaster - I suspect you agree. I could absolutely see a scenario where we are at least broadly in touch all year and don't q...

The idea you stick with Evatt for a whole season unless it’s ‘disastrous’ doesn’t make sense. Sunderland sacked Johnson, think they were third and went up. Buckingham came in December and went up. There are loads of examples of changing managers mid way through. Evatt imo should be gone by now. But...

Worth saying that JDB is a player I really liked on a number of levels. He added loads when he first arrived and bar injuries I think would have continued to do so. He just was unlucky with injuries.

One of the good guys. And will be missed I think.

We conceded very few goals the season before but we had Bradley who defensively is premier league level, when he didn’t play Jones would play there who is a more defensive option, often Iredale on the left till he got injured another sort of defensive type. We had a more physical shield for the back...

Nobody associated with the football club is happy right now. I wouldn’t expect them to be. That’s not in doubt and I suspect the board are saying we simply have to go up. Financially last season promotion really was imperative and in not doing it next season becomes massively pressurised from the o...

BWFC_Insane

We had. Strong start last season. I wouldn’t be suckered in by a start. It’s when the real tests come round and the pressure cranks up. That’s when we will find out. Rotherham away mid November for example would be the sort of ‘yeah this will tell us which way it’s going ‘.

Why is our press much more ineffective than oxfords It's not. At the start of the season we were far and away the best pressing outfit. Where that fell down was when we lost Dion and Vic. None of the replacements could do the work. Without one key pressing player it worked, without both it didn't. ...

Looking across at ours and WW's polls. I think the tally whilst strongly against, as you'd expect maybe, after Saturday has absolutely narrowed but is still roughly 50/50. 115 for go and 114 stay, across the two. The arguments for and against are pretty similar, probably as you'd expect, but I just...

Who is saleable then? Can we cash in on Santos, Sheehan, Thomason, or Charles to plug the gaps we need in mentality? I’m with Insane at the moment, if that’s the squad for next season it’s not getting top 6, never mind top 2. Too many opposition managers have worked out how to play against us. Prob...

BWFC_Insane

There is no good reason to play 3 at the back, bottom line is we can recruit into a 4131 far more easily it suits more of our players and even if you say the main ones it doesn’t suit are Charles and Santos…both of those might not be here…… If Evatt is manager he's shown before he actually prefers ...

BWFC_Insane

I think you're saying, probably doesn't get in the way of us, but might hinder his personal development in future. If that's correct, then I genuinely don't care. I was starting to get images of him sitting 13 round a table for the pre-match and making them say Grace... I don't think it hinders us ...

^^ Gotta be honest, although I want him gone, this non-story doesn't tilt the needle for me and whilst I could try and build a "here's what I reckon," I don't actually know first hand what goes on, but for me the reason he has to go, remains as "fecked it up royally and spinelessly." One thing he d...

BWFC_Insane

But I think over time I’ve realised that Evatt’s particular ego is a front to cover up his own self doubt. Did the self-help books and "Jesus needs me to be in the Premier League" not give it away to you on day one? Doubt is healthy. Avoiding it is the weakness. If Evatt can stop avoiding it it'll ...

BWFC_Insane

I think one thing that has been demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt is that as good an egg as Cogley is he is in no way up to being a regular RWB for a side with ambitions of exiting league one in a positive direction. I like him. I think he never lets you down. But looking at the league next ...

BWFC_Insane

What better players to have on the bench than DBV and Jerome? Surely both had one more season in them? With Ogbeta and Mahoma in the balance, what a great way to start building a squad by removing the foundations? Badly done I.E..I'm hesitant about in/out now. ae:) ae:) Maghoma isn’t in the balance...
