I've seen that before. A very good start as I remember, tailed off before Christmas and carted off , along with the equally poor David Bright, to Great Harwood in the New Year as Jimmy Frizzell made space for his signings. His replacement wasn't bad! Funny, though, these days he'd probably have been sold upwards for money in January after an arrangement in In October.

I don't remember him being that prolific to be honest. Fair play to the man but my overwhelming memory of him is his movement, it reminded me of a slow oil tanker.

I think he fitted in with the comment from Tommy Docherty (or was it Bill Shankly?) about another player. "His pace is deceptive. He's actually slower than he looks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 That’ll do. See ya. If the post match interviewer doesn’t ask “what was the thinking behind keeping Hope on for 90 minutes?” then he needs sacking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I'm looking forward to Mr Waffle explaining his tactics and team selection, no doubt he will justify it to cover his ineptitude. I'd like the interviewer to ask him why does he persist in playing the ineffective Hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope has to be the worst signing we’ve ever made but that is again on the manager he is not a striker, he's an attacking midfielder and this twat is playing him as a target man or pissing right wing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 @BP1960 @kowenicki Well, as the interviewer is the club one , that won’t happen. Just as it wouldn’t at any club. There is no external media probing and that’s the issue, not that of a club employee being constrained by what he can ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Curle stays because basically AL don’t give a shite and probably doesn’t want to or can’t pay him and his coaching staff off!! He needs to decide and decide quickly whether he wants to haul this club out of the shite! If AL isn’t prepared to sell the club and stays beyond the next transfer window, no if’s or but’s we will at best be down in the National League!!

If we go down he will lose more money than a payoff. He’s been quick to trigger other managers so why is curle any different. Relegation would hit the price of the club hard, therefore if he isn’t going to sell not sure why he won’t sack him. If he is going to sell and isn’t interested why come out and say he won’t sell. I’m lost on it, but for some reason curle is getting an extended period even though his record is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bemused as to why he doesn't play Adams in centre-mid (where he played him when he won promotion with Northampton) instead of out wide (where, at a veteran age, he's expected to peg it up and down the wing), but apart from that, our best team was out there today in the best formation. Blame that on the fucking owners. A change of manager will, in reality, change nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most will agree, anyone except Hope. I'd even play the hapless Diarra up front for some semblance of aggression. This manager is a stick in the mud though and won't try anything not in his tactics book (which is only one page I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a different manager might bring some improvement, and Curle strikes me as an absolute energy vacuum but as you say any new guy coming in is still working with the same group of players.

You're not telling me Mcgahey vacating the centre to dash to the touchline to cover for a wing back caught upfield is a sensible tactic? I've said many times a flat back 4 and only one deep lying midfielder. Anyone but Hope up front. Curle says he has targeted the players he wants so we shall see.
