The one with 15 goals in 24 games seems alright.......

I agree but I think he'll do it quicker. I get the feeling he's trying to get various systems/structures in place, in training and in matches, and then we'll see a few better players signed in January to complement 7 or 8 who by then will have already shown they can follow his instructions & get reasonable results. I also agree we might not be good enough to be favourites to win the playoffs but might still scrape through in a some gloriously manky fashion. Hope I'm right.....

* They can be. It's usually better to flush them away though Tranmere fans have talked Brabin up as a man who is very good at unblocking a toilet. Whether or not he can after Unsworth was sat on it for a year might be another matter.....

Absolutely. Winning is a habit, as is not winning.

I preferred those days to Carragher and McManaman's never ending highest pitched indignation competition....

So he's not then.

McGahey looking after the ball & playing out from the back a bit more than the more agricultural Hogan contributed to us looking a far better footballing side on Saturday....

Both goals came from well worked passing into/close the box.... Wingers are too inconsistent at this level. And our best crosser Kitchings crosses, whilst easy on the eye, rarely amount to anything.

The lads involved should be commended for practicing safe punching.

He's not that kind of player, is he?

Me too but it's rarely sustainable. Hopefully they're working towards us being good and winning, which usually is...

Not really, barring Thommo's first two games we've got results despite playing really poorly in the main. I'd be amazed if, come February, and certainly come August Mellon hasn't massively overhauled this squad.... Or, even better, he coaches some of the shite to become decent....

I like this. Even back in League One wingers were too inconsistent. You're much better off with the solidity of wide midfielders or more central midfielders...

Who's said he sets up like Unsworth?

Winning.

When did we take to Unsy?

It'd be a totally different mistake if it were to turn out a mistake though.

"There were a range of ‘other’ suggestions for how to improve the OASF membership offer with no clear themes. Some suggestions included: New merchandise for younger/left-leaning supporters." Eh???? Are you gonna get Sam Corry to do a range of OAFC Che Guevara hats?

A big factor in Unsy fluking a few wins back end of last season seemed to be us having a lot of long term professional footballers with the physiology & fitness that comes with that playing against recently part time former binmen and accountants.....

Should we not be viewing this as Thommo and Redfearn coming as a team, a package? A lot of talk of lack of managerial experience but both have years of experience around first team football, mostly at a far higher level. The stats from their time together at Leeds are a lot more impressive than at first glance. They took over a relegation threatened side and weren't far off the playoffs in the end. The dynamic/relationship they seem to have says to me it wouldn't really matter which of the two was the "main man". I'm happy to roll with this unless we can get a Clarke/Mellon.... Maybe roll with it and get a Clarke or Mellon next time....

Do that once we're back in the league above. Meantime we need an organiser/motivator to get us out of this one. There'll be foundations and a winning culture then for a more progressive head coach to build on while there's already a habit of winning matches.

Yes

Because it's the home end.

What emphasis on the Academy?
