Zorrro Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Holden has the players respect as did Wright its LJ who some couldnt stand so whose to say we wont improve And if we don't, we can blame it on Holden being too close to the players and them needing someone disciplined, not their best mate.

doctor evil Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 While we search for our replacement, we need a caretaker manager. There are 2 options, 1st team coach or the guy who runs the academy (TP). We've correctly chosen the 1st team coach. Now we don't know who our replacement manager will be so up until the point that we do, the 1st team coach will be in charge. Whats to hard to understand and why the hell are you moaning about this.

doctor evil Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Welcome back Barry. We do things right at this club, and its people like you that make me ashamed to be British. That's all gentlemen and err ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He's right. Caretaker manager pretty much by definition has to be someone already at the club to handle the transition to a new manager. Who else would it be other than Holden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Although the words "Dean Holden in charge..." sends a shiver of dread down my spine, it was the inevitable and logical move and with Lockwood alongside him, at least there will be a strong and decisive presence at work. Even if they do manage a string of victories, though, they are not the solution to the problem, for what my opinion is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 What's the problem? He's a helmet, his arrival prompted a down turn in form, did i mention he's a helmet? Joe Royle was a caretaker, he was external. No problem with Holden keeping the seat warm but if he's here in 4 games time then I'll be worried as corney will have known LJ wanted to go a few weeks ago.

Why do you dislike him so much? He wouldn't be my choice for a permanent manager but, as others have said, he was the only logical choice (apart from maybe TP) to act as caretaker.

frizzell54 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 if they do manage a string of victories, They could be leading the team out at Wembley in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Although the team hasn't done great since his arrival we don't know how much influence Dean Holden was allowed by LJ and Tommy. I hope he can put his stamp on the team with a more positive approach at home games, maybe the players will relish a different outlook?

deyres42 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Not sure how you can be anti Holden but ok with Lockwood at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No beef with his bibs and cones man. Hopefully they'll be off by the 2nd week in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Of course we all want Holden to do well but he has been dumped in at the deep end. The facts are that we had a good team in Lee, Tommy and Paul. We let Paul go and things have not been the same but somehow we are still two points off 6th. Now Lee and Tommy have gone we start again with Deano and Locky. This is not a good time as if we lose on Saturday the whole club will be deflated.

He wouldn't be my choice for a permanent manager but, as others have said, he was the only logical choice (apart from maybe TP) to act as caretaker. This. I've met Dean several times away from BP. He lives round the corner from me and is an old school friend of my younger brother's. He's a thoroughly nice bloke. He's also a very experienced pro and former club captain. Other than TP (who i'm presuming didn't fancy it) I don't see a better option from within the club, seeing as Tommy's left as well. As a short term measure, and rather than rush into appointing a new manager, I really don't see the problem. Our current predicament is of Lee Johnson's making, not Dean Holden's.

100milesaway Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ijust want to see players playing in the positions that they are at their best in. I dont want to see Jones, Philliskirk, Forte, and Winch played out of position. Play people in a roll that is best for the team, and put a team on the pitch that actually looks dangerous and exiting when attacking. We need a formation to bring the early season spark back.

oafc_lover Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Right so I've had time to calm down and get some perspective. Having listened to DH on that link, I'm coming round to the idea. It was unfair of me to just write him off without thought. It's not his fault and he's been asked to do it, he's not pushed it like Sherwood did at Spurs. I hope to god it's not long term but for now he's got my full backing. I'll blame my meltdown on LJ :censored:ing us over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I like his interviews - very Sheridan-esque. I think we'll win on Saturday. Kelly speaks very well in his on LaticsPlayer aswell. Thankfully the players and staff seem far more grown up about all this than some of you who are having a right old wobble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 He played more games for us (85) than he did for any other club. I'd never have thought that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Anyone think Holden will play the diamond against Preston He said the team will pretty much pick itself due to injuries. And he'd be daft to try and get them to do anything vastly different to what they're used two in the two days he has to prepare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
