Some sort of correlation between the loudest opinions and the slowest to volunteer…. You should try an inter-club sized-based game, ours worked well in both football and cricket for their development. you won’t yet have reached the stage when the bigger lads get caught up, and then it’s the coaches’ fault that they didn’t develop into world beaters. You’ll enjoy that criticism😉

Completely agree re size / puberty etc. We arranged a few inter-club games based on size rather than age - the best technical players naturally rose to the top (and the experience of the comparatively older players showed, in fairness), but it was a good lesson in showing boys/parents the truer order of things. Same applied in cricket too. I know NZ junior rugby is size rather than age-based, and from u12 onwards, that would make huge sense here too.

It really is. I Wonder what his previous names here have been?

The rabid ultras will be pleased - club rubbished reports of GO’N talks advancing.

vegard forren

Wesley Hoedt right up there in appalling human being terms.

He may be a bit shit. Everyone linked seems a bit shit to a greater or lesser degree. RM - too much water under that bridge, and I don’t suppose his experience in the PL or at Rangers will have helped him much, either in his own head or of those who would play under him. He’s more likely to surface at Norwich, imo.

I’d shake on O’Neil. Seems like one of the better options out there. Faux rabid nonsense to reject him due to Skate past.

We really need to judge him as an attacking outlet, and do that, we need players like Azaz to be able to complete routine through balls to him. Goals breed confidence, and that should have been a golden chance.

Absolutely terrible

God we’re feeble and clueless. Terrible set up, Robinson needs to play on the wing, he’s been terrible as AM / CF hybrid. I have no idea what we’re trying to play. I hate these players. Eckert in predictably tight chinos.

I quite like scienza and Robinson, and fellows hasn't upset me yet. The rest of them can just about fuck off and become prostitutes for all I care.

If, however, we find ourselves in the Feeble-minded, Midget & Malco Keeper league, we'd surely be favourites.

You’d hope so, but the reality proves otherwise. Seemingly, building a media business in Eastern Europe required different skills that haven’t proved transferable. He doesn’t control that now, and who knows how much disposable income he has left to support this situation. It’s only going to get murkier with Solak (and Ankersen) at the helm.

Yes, if Solak bought the nonsense Ankersen (and Kraft) spout - whose reputations were well known in the City and Football industry - it’s no great surprise we have ended up as we have. No structure; ill-defined roles; poor recruitment from top to bottom. The sooner Solak sells, the better.
