Ohh Johnny Eyre Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeovil appoint Terry Skiverton as new manager,I hate playing teams with a new manager,players always put that extra effort in trying to impress him!!! I fancy us to knock 3 or 4 past them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I fancy us to knock 3 or 4 past them now. I really don't know about that. He has been there for 10 years and played almost 400 times for them. If he is as popular as it seems, he could certainly raise the team. In the short term anyway. Worse time to play them I feel. Long term if he is to popular he won;t make the tough decisions. Not so much Greegs, as I am sure Skiverton is more popular. And does Skiverton blame everyone else around him when he makess a mistake?..... What if it is more like making Andy Ritchie manager...

edhunteruk Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 ......... is this Yeovil's Graeme Sharp moment not sure about worst time to play them....he is after all only a player,yes he is vastly experienced player,but has he done any coaching??? does he hold any coaching badges?? definately the cheap option for them,maybe there hoping he can somehow keep them up then appoint someone proper next season. we have a score to settle against them,so i am hoping for a decent performance and a 2-0 win at the very least.

Any effect Skiverton has on the coaching side is bound to be minimal until he finds his feet, I'm sure there are more experienced staff out there to shoulder the responsibility. Still a hard game come Saturday - i'm particularly worried as they've won 3 at home all season... As for their Sharp moment and me saying Skiverton will need to find his feet - until Sharp did that we did ok! Threatening the Top 6 over xmas '94, then it went tits up! Sharp's first 10 WBA 3 Latics 1 Latics 2 Brizzle City 0 Stoke 0 Latics 1 Latics 3 Port Vale 2 Charlton 2 Latics 0 Latics 4 Wolves 1 Grimsby 1 Latics 3 Latics 1 Swindon 1 Millwall 1 Latics 1 Reading 1 Latics 3 W5 D3 L2 Next 10 W1 D2 L7!!! Didn't take long for the rot to set in! Only a late flurry in April saw us stay away from the trap door.

Macca Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Saturday will still be a tough game, the players will want to play for Skiverton in the short-term. Long-term it remains to be seen whether he is good enough, I doubt the board are going to back him with extra funds if they won't back Slade. If only we could play them later on in the season. A win at Yeovil will be a huge result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win at Yeovil will be a huge result! I agree especially as we haven't scored away since 3rd January - and that was a wonder goal! If i'm honest i'd take 7 points from the next 12 - of course more would be nice but expect the unexpected it's Latics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometownclub Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) BBC Link I don't think this is good news for Latics as any new manager gets at least a short term lift in performance when first appointed.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think a few are being very complacent and a touch arrogant with this news. It'll make it a tough tie, and people thinking Skiverton hasn't got his badges yet, well he's already got his coaching badges and should get his UEFA A-licence this summer. He's absolutely huge to Yeovil fans, a cult hero who will command instant respect. I think it'll be a hard game in the fact that they will be out out trying to impress the new gaffer, and don't forget they were on a 4 game winning streak before Slade's departure, including a fine win at Peterborough. A draw may be a decent result down there all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw may be a decent result down there all things considered. I think it's quite a tough one to call to be honest regarding his immediate impact. With him knowing the players well already will there be the same 'impress the new manager' type attitude you would normally get from a new appointment, or will it be more of the same and Skiverton having to make his own impact through his tactics and team selections?

JohnnyPimp Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Due to the speed of the appointment I'm guessing that talks were already started before the Brizzie game. Where were his leadership qualitites then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I had a look at a Yeovil message board and none of their fans are happy that Slade went but it seems that he went for 2 reasons, one a breakdown with the board and the other none-football related that they won't release due to confidentiality reasons. There asst boss before Skiverton was appointed Thompson said that he can't say much but if the fans knew what had happened they would back the board 100% or something to that effect. After the 3-0 loss they might be able to raise there game but I personally think that only really comes into play when a team are doing badly. This is a bit of a strange situation, they lost 3-0 against brizzle and their might be a few protests from the home fans on sat that will put them under stress.

BP1960 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If the Yeovil players are expected to impress their new manager, then the answer is the Latics players should be out to impress their manager even more with a thumping win to show they believe in automatic promotion.

If i'm honest i'd take 7 points from the next 12 - of course more would be nice but expect the unexpected it's Latics! I'm not one for stats, but I've read that we've scored more goals away than Yeovil have scored at home. Having said that, Latics are out to avenge their only home league defeat in the past 11 months. Yeovil's 2-0 win at Boundary Park in November made them the first team to beat Latics at BP since Hartlepool the previous March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrikkiNikki Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm not going for all this "first game in charge" hoodoo! Yeovil's goal difference is -12, ours is +12 Yeovil are in 17th, we are in 5th Says it all, really. We should go there with the attitude of winning the game and not paying Yeovil any respect at all. We have the better players, the experienced front line and strong defence. It is there for the taking. Don't mess it up, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 In tonight's rarely wrong Chron, Warney admits he has mixed feelings about the appointment of the new management team. “It is something of a double bubble. I thought they would get the job and I am pleased for them. “But it could be hard for me because, as they are two of my best mates, I don’t know how it will affect our relationship. “I am a little anxious. We are the three senior professionals, the triangle of trust, and we were always phoning and texting each other. “It is bound to impact on our friendship.” http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-fea...ange-at-the-top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
