Sounds like someone thinking someone looks vaguely like someone from a distance and it being taken as gospel. Surely that could never happen on owtb!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you feel any differently if this interim team won the next 3 on the bounce. Not only the wins but convincing performances scoring goals and not conceding. No as we're playing shite. THE shite of this division. That will tell me nothing of the caretakers ability to get a team into a machine worthy of promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believed that he had been a full time manager before! Then I realised the Steve Thompson who took over Yeovil in 2005 from Gary Johnson was a different Steve Thompson! I'm sure he was their manager against us in that season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson seems to have his wits about him so hopefully there’ll be a decent plan. I think half the battle was just letting the squad play again rather than treat every game like chess (badly played chess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our squad and a semi competent manager we should be doing to these what we did to Aldershot. It's not cocky. If we can't expect to beat York and these next 2 i assume it's a relegation battle we're in for..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 It’s good to hear Thompson saying the opposition should worry about us and how we play. Unsworth was so obsessed with the opposition he forgot to set us up to play football. I do think we should be taking this Thompson period a game at a time. We are not going to just win 4/5 games on the bounce, even with the relatively easy run of games. But it’s a good opportunity to pick up points and hopefully climb up to mid table before the new man comes in. I wouldn’t want Thompson to get the job, but would love for him to get a DOF role to allow the eventual manager to focus on the coaching side. If the board have learnt anything, they should focus on getting a manager that is attack minded and who will work closely with Thompson and have the same philosophy. Looking back, Thompson and Unsworth clearly see the game differently, which probably led to the friction between them that we have recently heard of. Which then led to the messy and inconsistent recruitment which causes player fall outs ect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have time for learning on the job. These easy games will look great on any record but we need a manager who knows they can get going when things are tough. A number of years ago Latics appointed an experienced manager, in his mid forties, with promotions on his cv. At the time I thought that was a good appointment! It was Dave Penney. Whoever we appoint, it'll still be a gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a gamble, but the thinking behind why Penney was appointed wasn't bad, for the reasons you've said. Talbot was another one - it went downhill quickly for him, but he actually wasn't that bad for us. Kept us up after administration, beat City.
