FBC POD: In conversation with..... Gavin Marshall, CEO Bristol Sport
chinapig replied to headhunter's topic in Football Chat
I wouldn't be too hard on them, there are loads of people in the professional media who seem incapable of asking an open question. -
My hero!

On the replay you could see the assistant only comes into the picture just as Gnonto scores. Well behind the play. I imagine Boro will be considering their options.

Certainly you will get more chance to play against better teams but if the opposition is playing conservatively it seems to me you need to be more aggressive, pressing higher to force errors. Instead we tend to turn passive, passing the ball around at a slow tempo. Which suits them fine.

I was delighted when we signed him as from what I'd seen he looked a confident and classy defender with Premier League potential. The best is yet to come I reckon.

One of the most encouraging performances under Manning I thought. It does puzzle me though that we seem to play less conservatively against the better teams than against the poorer ones.

Quite so, though Everton fans are so fixated on the conspiracy against them they seem not to have noticed that nor their £550m in third party debt. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/apr/16/everton-takeover-777-gets-extension-to-repay-160m-loan

Have you noticed though that if we play well it's down to the game plan and if we don't it's down to the players?

Anyone wanting to hear from Steve should tune into Guernsey radio, his station of choice. I think he likes the tough questioning he gets there.

@ExiledAjaxhit the nail on the head in the MDT. There is no Manning style, our approach to any game is determined by how the opposition set up. Which is why we play with aggressive intent in one game then revert to pedestrian football in the next. He just will not consistently play in a way that suits the players we have. He even out ranks LJ in the over thinking stakes. Though he no doubt thinks it's sophisticated.

Huddersfield Town at home match thread

Jon backtracted and said 10th would be success. No doubt he will adjust that again as the need arises. -

If Liam picks King over JKL Tinnion will presumably be furious. -
So did Millwall for that matter.

Remarkable isn't it how some people simply ignore the context a manager is operating in? Liam has inherited a stable position and doesn't have to spend his time slashing costs, clearing out a bloated squad, changing the toxic cuture and so on as Pearson and Gould did. It's up to him to make the most of it.
