Sheltons Army

I know you will Dave and say it in the right way but please , just be hones

Not sure about the bots but there’s a fair few , and a little group in particular that spring to mind that have lost any internet connection in last few weeks

They aren’t going to resign are they But We should be furiously demanding as a fan base that the time has come to front up Get yourself in SOS on Monday Tinnion and answer a few pertinent questions that are bounding around in the last few weeks Lets hear what you have to say and explain Abd if you don’t , you will look an even bigger coward than you and ‘Jon’ looked over the NP sacking car crash Not holding my breath Lets hear from you...

The Lansdowns have repeatedly shown that they are normally failures at making the correct appointments and decisions And when they actually, finally , do They throw it in the bin and everything that came with If it wasn’t so tragic it would be mind numbingly hilarious

I should have said elders - I’d have his Mum have a go before son has another

It’s mystery eh Still , what you demanded every week for the last 2 years

If we were going to have a Johnson back please at least let it be the elder and never the son

Depressing isn’t it Graham , really depressing 12 months or so ago I felt , and posted about how pleased and proud I was about our Club , or the playing side I should say , with a straightforward honest manager and staff who had created a buzz, clearly liked by players , a great squad spirit , bringing our youngsters through.... in a safe safe if unspectacular pair of hands To this......... WTAF

Good to see what an improvement there’s been on the injuries Rennie & Co .......pahhhhhhhh You were correct all along Jon

Who @Kid in the Riot ? Blimey , fair play

For his size he was a complete lightweight - He SHOULD have been a pest and nightmare for Championship CBs He wasn’t

Don’t apologise Bearded Cracking post

Going by his history of posts since ‘newly’ joining I’m not sure which but I’d go for the former The fact he appreciates FD and not Pearson is ...... FWIW Diedhiou’s eyes were always elsewhere IMO , and it was completely apparent he was never signing a new contract Should have been moved on after 12 months IMO - he was the probably biggest obstacle to LJ possibly progressing things IMO

Get on there Silvio You would make a good addition

Yes , not dissimilar but a younger version with ideally , being picky , just a tad more physical presence I’d say LM doesn’t appear to want to play with a pair and with his preferred methods the theory of a partner is somewhat hypothetical. His idea on a ‘partner’ would be much more in a number 10 role / way and aim not convinced even a good 10 is TCs ideal way

Diedhiou was incapable of playing with a partner. Little game intelligence or enthusiasm to work in conjunction with a partner Setting aside how we are currently playing , Id say TCs ideal partner would be mobile , athletic , good movement and intelligence ,not necessarily a significant physical presence

one of the excellent thought provoking posts on this thread All I’d say , about the bolded bit, and you have said ‘generally’ , I do believe it can be done and done successfully without PP budget But You need to have a really excellent , top notch On the grass coach , or actually coaching team , not ‘ok’ or ‘decent’ but as well as that significant ask , you also need very good recruitment , and he also needs to have good or better , man management , in game planning and management skills , and the ability to lead Big ask !

Some really good thought provoking posts on this thread My issue is that it’s actually wider than LM and whether he’s a success or not With the ethos and philosophies LM has and the suitability of the current squad for him etc I would like to know from BT , whether we decided to abandon our repeated athletic , pacy , front football playing blueprint , with sensibly recruitment to match , to a different playing ethos , more methodical and control based shall we say , and then they identified a Head Coach to deliver this and recruited LM Or did they bin Pearson , identify LM as the next bright thing and go for him realising that it meant doing a left turn not only on the playing blueprint , but recruitment too ? No one has asked Tinnion or Lansdown about this and the implications or plan going forward If LM doesn’t work out - where do we go then ? Hunt for another coach with a very similar or identical philosophy ? Shove that to one side and recruit what we see as the best manager / Head Coach available , with playing ethos irrelevant ? Id like to know where we now see the playing and philosophy and vital recruitment to match it , whether under LM or a succesor(s) , is going forward and whether we have an actual plan now. Still , I at least I have every confidence in Brian and Jon

My impression / general recall Dave , (where you will be far more accurate) is that a fair percentage of his career goals , and opportunities tend to come in the first say four or five touches after , the side , winning the ball back , ie shortly after turnover (You May correct me ! ) Like , most forwards he likes space to run into , and spaces to find in the box for crosses Our limited press , and slow build through the thirds resulting in and requiring a different threat or chance creating do absolutely nothing in utilising what he’s good at and his degree of natural instinct If as it appears we ‘lose’ him I shall be extremely disappointed , as I genuinely thought and think he has a real something about him , and finding your own home grown goal scorer was a real hit start to hope of building a promotion threatening side (I still believe he’s good enough to be that player) Will be almost , or , as disappointing , and depressing as the disappearance of NP for me personally,

That’s where it appears to be going by his other non sensical post about the subject Incredible Shame the trampoline wasn’t traded about 12 months after he arrived Beat his chest quite a bit tho

Which coach ... You are about to make some more stuff up arnt you And personally Not too keen on applauding , let alone a rousing reception for lazy players personally

Not enough room for any twirling Blimey hope he’s ok * One of the most interesting titles to a thread Spud

Will anyone notice ?

Oh my word One of the most hilarious and deluded posts I’ve ever read on here I will add Completely Bizarre Wow Talk about a weird and twisted agenda
