Remind me, Rob bored. Which one of those managers was it that secured promotion with a 6-0 away win and won a game 8-2 which included a hattrick from a centre back who scored a rabona?

For me football is about the way the game is played. Getting one up and then defending didn't do it for me but quick attacking football with pacy wingers did do it for me. The Tinnion/Murray combination was brilliant to watch. You don't need to remind me who served that scintillating football..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Understand where your coming from but ultimately GJ delivered results and in a league higher than Wilson managed. That play-off final season will live long in the memory despite the fact it wasn't the prettiest football, there was sucha togetherness between players and fans that it never mattered how we did it but we were so close to the big time!

Sigh!...:laugh:!....I missed it all! ----------------------------------------------------------- Apart from the abuse So the bloke that built the team that got us to the promise land is second in some of these lists. Behind the bloke who did'nt have our best striker even on the bench for the play-off final, so when we had to score in the last seconds we threw on Luke Wilkshire... This bloody board is desperate sometimes. Dicks Cooper Cotterill All the above on achievement in the last 45 years Followed by John Ward Joe Jordan Gary Johnson Again on achievement in a results driven game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Its difficult to make comparisons & on what basis? If it's success then it has to be Dicks but the football was not expansive. If you want entertaining then its the Wilson era. For Cotts it would be the sheer belief and winning mentality he brought to the side. For me it has to be the Gary Johnson era. Getting to the playoff final and the calibre of players we had at the time was marvellous. Who knows what would've happened had we won. 1) Gary Johnson 2) Steve Cotterill 3) Danny Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Dicks. For obvious reasons Cooper. Saved the club and played good stuff. Wembley as well. Johnson G. Five great years and got so close. Jordan. First time around was really good. Wilson. Entertaining if ultimate failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Surprised Harry Thickett hasn't been mentioned. Promoted City to top flight, and achieved a second place finish.

Guest Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Makes me laugh the football was 'bad' under GJ. I found it rather exciting. -Sproule and McIndoe got me off my seat plenty, -JMC was an excellent player then imo -enjoyed Adebolas battles and channel work, -Orr's passion and drive - Carle I really took to in his time here, noble trundle each provided moments. See what you want. I saw an excellent unit, playing good counter attacking football, throwing bodies on the line. It was played on the deck plenty. It's nonsense to suggest otherwise.

So that was after he signed Julian Watts as our Championship standard centre back and Carl Hutchings as a Championship standard midfielder with Steve Torpey up front, was it? He was lucky to inherit Goater but like his mentor Graham Taylor, he was a long ball merchant. You really don't have the first clue what you are watching, do you?

Admittedly the resources at his disposal were very limited but imv he got the best out of what was largely a poor squad.
