RIP Charlie Strong, a club legend. Not sure some of todays diva’s would cope well with that ‘SPONGE’
You never heard a wrong word about this gentleman, condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and the former players who he cared for.
In the clubs history, will never be forgotten.
Perhaps Lee Turnbull has some good ones lined up !!!
Oh forgot we got rid of another with experience !!
But just remembered the messiah has arrived, the recovery starts here ! ?I believe Only director before being struck out at companies house was a Godfrey Torto.
Checking Transfermrkt there seems to be no agent listed as “Ask Godders”.
I think ‘interesting’ is one way of describing it.So now people you have seen Loft and Thuran, although Thuran not that much.
I ask this question – was Kyle Wootton really that bad ?
Mr Cox’s post match comments baffling yet again.
Talks about ‘No Passion’ from the players – matched his tone in the interview.
Highlight for me was that he wasn’t single anyone out then named BEDEAU, EISA and LOFT !!True, but this a ‘Derby’ game.
We have to fight for everything, will be down to us.
No messing No fancy formations No over complication.
All guns blazing from the 1st minute to the last.
Seems Loft not a crowd pleaser, Thuran absent from the 18.
Would Kyle Wootton have done a better job and was selling him a good decision ?
Depends on how cerebral the plan is !!
Sadly if we opt for the intellectual approach we won’t get another point !
If we go 442 and ‘muck & nettles’ approach we could have at least 6 from the remaining 9 !!
Managers score – 0.
It is what you get when you start targeting, when you ignore the fact that the next game is the most important game.
Same players getting game after game and fail to deliver. We are 4 pts from 2nd bottom and only 8 from bottom. Can we mess this up ? Consider the debacle when we were relegated from division 1 !!
When Mr Cox put the 3 starters on the bench for Colchester he was targeting the ‘certain’ 3 points from the Southend game !!
It doesn’t work !! So we got 0 from 6 and the common denominator – The Manager. Yet the players are to blame not him ! It his team.
Perhaps the deal is a 2 + 1 option.
Remember we don’t get to know a lot, just the minimum. But it is a good start and compliments to the the board. Hope there is more news similar to this in the near future.
With the KVV news confirmed and awaiting the scan on Harrison I would think Will Swann will be checking his lists of potential replacements.
Now looking like an attacking, goal scoring midfielder is a priority. In defence I think we may be OK – Charlie Barks would not let us down. The biggest requirement to help the younger players is playing a 442 or 4411 formation.
And an actual leader at the front.
Well Cordner may get a recall.
Wonder how confident he is feeling having been ‘hung out’ by his manager !!
Why ?
Oh yes, realising the supporters may just be right. But on the horizon do not be surprised to see the 3 CB’s return because he won’t like having to accept that 442 works for us.
Carlisle have got him on trial I read.
Quotes from the manager on the new scout:-
“He’s going to be helping me pick the first team players, then he’s going to be helping Russ (Wilcox) with the under-23s and helping Tony Daws in restructuring everything at the football club.”
“ He knows characters, he’s been around this industry for a long, long time”
Incredible and he’s only 23!! Let’s hope those young whippersnappers Wilcox and Daws feel the same.
So The Messiah has arrived !
Are there any more Swann children we can expect to see at some point in the future?
That is simply not funny !!
Good idea Roaming Bull.
At Sunderland.
Free agent and looks a good finisher.
Went through Huddersfields academy so Mr Lillis will know him.
From the date of reveal the white strip was outstanding.
It still uses claret & blue.
The kitman is the latest to be culled !
Someone who has served to club as a player and backroom staff for about 38 years.
At what game minute will we opt to go 541 ? Provided we are winning of course.
Took him about 3 years to take over from Fatty Lawrence as fist choice. That was usually the way with young players at top teams. Was surprised when Iron midfielder Keegan went straight into the Liverpool team as a striker.
Similar to when they signed Ron Yeats, Shanks handed his education to Dick White – Dick was a great teacher.
442, attacking formation and shoot on sight.
Scunthorpe United sold him for £18000 which in todays money would be near £335,000. Liverpool sold him for £300K ( just over a million ) – wonder if there was a sell on clause ?
What would he have been worth in todays world.
They didn’t do too badly did they once they got a chance.
Ray Clemence showed what CLASS is. Gentleman on and off the field, a credit to himself, the clubs he played for and the fans who supported him. Look at that welcome the Kop gave him when he returned with Spurs ! Said it all.
RIP MR CLEMENCE pleased we could start it all off together. Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
Good to read 4 4 2 was evident – trying to reinvent the wheel does not work long term for us.
But the 3pts from Oldham will mean nothing if we do not win on tuesday. Because others near to us also won.
37 games left and our aim must be 111 pts from them.
