    Haven't had one for at least 20 years.

    Big 'extra dates added due to exceptional demand' vibes

    Sounds like the Foundation wasn't consulted. Makes you wonder what is being discussed in the meetings with Royle...

    Classic Mellon

    Braver he/she/they than me if you commit to that.

    Big Dave Og did.

    Things could get nasty at Halifax.

    Serial promotion winner and we are effectively two places higher than where we finished last season, big L.

    Apparently all you have to do is pick the right manager and the rest takes care of itself...

    Well you'd like to think the people running the club must have some idea of what they would like to see. That's your start point and then you put people in place to implement your plans. Unless their plans don't go beyond just signing the cheques, in which case just carry on as you are and hope for the best.

    No, you recruit a manager who aligns with your chosen philosophy, whatever that maybe. If you want them to sign the players then fine.
  12. deyres42
    Next manager might come in and have a completely different philosophy, so you've got to go out and recruit a new squad again whilst trying to get rid of the ones he doesn't want, smart clubs don't operate that way. At the moment we just seem to be flailing around without much a plan, chucking good money after bad and hoping the dice drop our way, very odd given the supposedly intelligent people running the club.

    Whoever the manager is needs to fit into our framework and way of playing, not just given carte blanche to do what they want, sign who they want.
  14. deyres42
    Whoever chooses them, chooses them. We need to find an identity, a way of playing and sign players accordingly.

    Every goal counts. Penalties pad out a record. Hope that helps.

    The worry for me is that we seem to have given Mellon and Brabin the keys to the castle and moved away from what we were trying to do with a head coach and head of recruitment - you can question the quality of player and the staff brought in but the idea itself was the right one IMO So when the inevitable sacking happens we are going to be left with a load of players on the wrong side of 30 who the next manager probably isn't going to like the look of.

    Good point you make there, McAlney used to crack them in from all distances, we could do with one like him.
  18. deyres42
    Well we'd be about 8-9 goals worse off, hardly a deal breaker.
  19. deyres42
    Take away the penalties and it will be what, 12-13 goals? Commendable seems a strong word.
  20. deyres42
    Gonna end up finishing 9th with a striker earning 5k a week, epic fail.
  21. deyres42
    So the expectation in August was that we'd be happy with 17 goals by Easter? Which goal/s has he scored that made you think, blimey that was good? How many games has he really stood out in, dragged his team along in?
  22. deyres42
    Which bit do you disagree with?
  23. deyres42
    His best days are behind him and we aren't going to create the chances he apparently needs under Mellon so I think it would be worth putting his wages to an alternative use.
  24. deyres42
    Think we have to bear in mind that that was five years ago now, would be unfair to expect him to be the same player.
  25. deyres42
    Fair enough I guess. But the style isn't going to radically change so is it worth looking at a different type of forward and using the wages to strengthen elsewhere?
