Perfect!!

Wow what a fantastic result. Just read through all the comments and sounds like another great performance after a dodgy start. their fixtures over the next month are very tough, I do actually fancy us to catch them.

Yes I seem to think he did have almost all of them in the first half of the season.

I quickly gave up that hassle and paid for a 20 year visa! I love phangan also, Haad Yao was one of the first beaches I went to here, stunning.

What a great result and sounds like a really top performance also. Loved that first goal. Akpom scoring at a better rate than 2 in 3 really takes some believing. When was the last time we had a striker score like that?? He’d be on for over 30 league goals over a full season.

Pity about this as a 12 point deduction for Sheff Utd would really open up that second spot. https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/dozy-mmobuosi-sheffield-united-cash-26149518

They never started any different tactic even once that I recall. I’m struggling to think of examples of them even trying anything different late in a game when we desperately needed a goal. The ultimate One trick pony. the entire interview stinks of a pre planned speech designed to get him a job.

I’m sorry in advance for tempting fate like this, but I feel a BIG win coming.

Where did you stay in Koh Phangan? I’ve been living in Koh Samui for 8 years today! Time flies. I had to fly back for the play off final only a few months after leaving the U.K. and I’ve started laying the groundwork for another trip in a few months 🤞🏻 Prior to that London for 18 years and prior to that Thornaby.

I don’t mind if it’s a left or right sided winger as Jones can switch to the left (and given he’s right footed would likely cut in and create space for Giles. ) it would be good to have a second wide option for sure even if they aren’t straight into the first 11.

I’m sure it used to refer to the ball being played forward by the attacking team but of course it’s been updated about 500 times over the last 10 years, so must have been dropped.

I think if we are ditching 3 at the back for good then we should probably try to send Giles back as he doesn’t seem very good in any other position. Not sure we are allowed to just send him back though. If we are I’d probably get rid of Mowatt also given he seems a waste of a wage. try and bring in a proper winger and a central midfielder as priority. obviously we can say we want 5 new players but we have to be realistic. If we got those two positions in I’d be fairly happy (assuming they are good of course).

And some people think we need a specialist coach for him because he’s so brainless 😂😂. Traore was a beast who somehow had barely any assists for us in his first year or so and undoubtedly benefited from some more direct personal coaching. Jones is a totally different player, simply looking at his assist stats show this clearly. And how many own goals has he set up which don’t get included as assists. He just needs people to get behind him and stop look for faults. We’d be a far worse team without him.

Yes, well said. I have to admit, Bauser was making me cringe a bit with his introduction involving the errrr sound at the end of every sentence but once the questions started and Carrick spoke I thought he was good. Scott came across quite prickly and I can definitely see him not getting on with Wilder whereas Carrick seems much more laid back so hopefully they work well together. To me it sounds like Woodgate was suggested to Carrick and having spoken to each other a lot over the last couple of weeks they have clicked and Carrick really wants him involved. If we can get a g

Really am stunned about Woodgate. Not a peep about that as a rumour. Really disappointed unless we are bringing in someone else with a lot of experience.

I would expect 4-3-3 is the most likely alternative which only really has one spot for a genuine striker. So only one of Muniz, Akpom, Hoppe or Forss. Putting any of those out wide seems like a square peg in a round hole. But of course we do like to do that.

Did Leo really say we are ditching 3 at the back? Why would he say that? At the very least it’s an opportunity to surprise Wigan but now we have told them what we are going to do. I’m not against trying 4 at the back, hell we need to do something different, but it’s hard to see it working long term with our squad. it’s not going to solve the problem we have in central midfield, which is our biggest problem. It also means we are going to have a lot of forwards sitting in the stands. The squad really has been assembled for a continuation of a 3 at the back system, looks like the so ca

Our midfield is just so so bad it’s hard to see how we can put a run of good results together.

You wasn’t it?

Wasn’t the last experienced manager we brought in who got us promotion Lennie Lawrence? That was quite a long time ago, as others have mentioned experience guarantees you nothing. Pulis and Warnock were utter dross, as was Monk (though he wasn’t massively experienced).

Fair enough I like Paddy also. I’m really surprised we seem intent on not picking him at LCB this season despite him clearly being number one there last season and nobody really impressing there this season. Seems like it’s so obvious they just can’t see it.

I quite like the idea of Carrick actually compared to all the other options we have seen mentioned. Clearly a smart guy and has a great pedigree as a player. He was a pretty intelligent type of player so hopefully this comes across in how he analyses the game and sets us up.

He was playing out of position to be fair to him, he’s clearly been our best RCB so I’d have picked him there and McNair LCB. Really not sure about putting Lenihan out there. giles definitely a big loss.

Well I wasn’t expecting that but I can’t say I’m too disappointed. Very sad it’s all gone wrong this season, I was pretty optimistic pre season we’d be right up there. But we are getting worse and that line up on Saturday did scream “sack me”. let’s hope we have got a plan. At least we might now get to see some of the forwards we signed. Would love it if one of them started knocking in the goals.

He’s trying to pick the slowest 11 in history.
