As a centre half I prefer zonal marking if I can have it. And I prefer being man marked in the opposition box. Means I can manipulate the other player to be where I want before attacking the space. And if I can, I coach it to my junior sides. Then again, if your players cant head a ball, then its rascal times

He wouldn't be sat on the bench when Fleming is back in my opinion.

I know someone mentioned John Ruddy at Everton. But they have a keeper who's better than he is. He's a Scottish lad called Iain Turner and looked a seriously bright prospect about 2 years ago. Injuries have restricted him and he's out of contract in the summer. Latics would be getting a very good keeper if he arrived

I've been suspicious for a while as to why some managers hire specialist sports psychologists. I mean various other sports scientists hired who specialise in bio-medicine or analysis I can understand. But I've always thought the manager/coaches should be the sports psychologists, as it generally takes up 90% of their job. I may be well wrong but i find it interesting that Sheridan mentioned the younger players not liking him screaming and shouting on the sidelines. Now I wonder, who's the psychologist been hired for, the players or the manager?

No 'Remember the Titans'. Not even top 500 Sheeeeocker

Shocking, lock em up!!!

It certainly is and..... YESH!!!!

He was doing City's community work. Pretty much what John Platt does for Oldham. He was also at Bury's C of E last year doing their U11's

New u11's coach for the centre of excellence

Was as highly rated as Wellbeck. Injured at the moment though, and he'll be joining the youth team

Theres a player from Everton who could soon become available. In the Osman/Arteta mould. Spent part of last season at Gretna and been linked with £3.5m moves from the money bags of Citeh and Chelskea. John Paul Kissock knows he is preparing for a vitally important season. The midfielder, who had a loan spell with ill-fated Gretna last term, has progressed from the academy to the reserves and now finds himself training with the first team squad. Kissock is focussed on having a productive pre-season and forcing himself into the thinking of manager David Moyes. In an exclusive interview with evertonTV, he said: "It’s amazing for someone like me who has supported Everton since I was a lad and now I’m working with some of the best players in the world, so it gives you that buzz and that 'umph' to make it into the first team squad." Kissock is keen to taste first team action this term, but is realistic enough to admit that a spell on loan could aid his progress. He added: "I want to try and work my best this pre-season and put a few ideas into the gaffer’s head. If I’m not ready yet then maybe I will go out on loan, but I’m looking to try and push into the first team during pre-season and we’ll see what happens. "The every day of working with such great players is amazing. "They’re all fantastic and they all make you feel welcome – it’s what dreams are made of."

He was at a staff meeting we had at the club a while back. Introduced by Tony Philli as a new member of our coaching staff. We've not seen him since but the presumption was he was to become one of our assistant coaches in the CofE.

I dont think they even need a left winger, I like Taylor on the left. He provides options with regards to combination play with the forwards. Get a left back and they're sorted I say

I've done the coaching in the US experience. I also covered the Illinois/Michigan areas. Best time of my life. Came back to finish my coaching qualifications and do a degree. Got bored of the degree and quit, and i'm about 6 months from finishing my coaching qualifications. So looking at going back full time in 2009.

Whilst its good for continuity. To be at any club you either have to be good enough or going to be good enough. Anybody who's at an age when they should be playing regular first team football and isn't, wont be doing anybody any favours sticking around as a 'squad player'. Cant say I've seen much of Kalala or *cough* McDonald, so i suppose its upto regular viewers to judge whether they upto standard.
