    Not just him.

    No. End. Product.
  4. The Original OTIB
    Playin a 3, shuffle 2 across
  5. The Original OTIB
    Just keep posting "get in", bound to be right eventually.
  6. The Original OTIB
    Stop caring about not caring.
  7. The Original OTIB
    Has been, some say.
  8. The Original OTIB
    Not just him!
  9. The Original OTIB
    Bang!

    What I'm seeing so far under Manning is a coach trying to implement his ideas regardless of the squad and players available. Too keen to impress. Experienced managers recognise what they have and work with those tools. Chase this today and we lose. Draw them out a bit and get in behind would suit better.

    Probably lose Tanner and shuffle other 2 across.

    Shit tracking from Bell there, need to stay with your man, too casual. Need Pring on for balance.
  13. The Original OTIB
    Or where when their manager leaves. Palace of even Burnley could lure. Other suitors too, I'd wager.
  14. The Original OTIB
    Well they have spunked a lot of money. A bit like The Lambeth Walk?
  15. The Original OTIB
    Nais-sayer.

    Also depends if Sykes is put into central midfield, the place he prefers, and, to be honest, where I think he could shine under the new regime.
  17. The Original OTIB
    Yes, not an entirely factually accurate piece, but still interesting.
  18. The Original OTIB
    Indeed, capable, sans dithering.

    Agreed, to some extent, depends on your attitude to risk and reward and where it takes place on the pitch. The valid point remains that quick thinking will be key to adaptation for this squad. Less ponderous and pensive.

    The trouble is, his pass success % is not as great as some seem to think it is (not even top 10 for us last season). He's prone to howlers because he likes to dwell on the ball too much and weigh up "options", unnecessarily much of the time. To play the Manning way, will likely involve building quickly from the back, meaning confident, capable passers of the ball, not ditherers (harsh, but you get the point). I think Naismith can be coached to speed up delivery and thereby his pass completion %. Same for the others, to some extent. In a midfield role, he can take more risks, but does he have the speed and energy for this new type of football that we are promised? Would probably have been a very good sweeper in Italy in years gone by.

    Monday 19th July 1999. Won 0-2.

    Leominster Town?

    The trouble with Mehmeti is that he does not seem capable of quick decisions, to turn that around.
