LM has been coaching for 18 years, I very much doubt he's going to change any time soon, he's immersed and obsessed by it. But give him a few more years as a head honcho and he may well change.

Yep, it'll be looking good with Atkinson, Naismith, and McCrorie back (not that I've seen anything of McCrorie other than a friendly). It'll give us so many options.

And now the shit Harry Cornick scores...

I preferred Cotterills. Mind you, Benny is up there as well.

Does he have a years option as well ?

I think (from memory - which isn't the best) BT was referring to the younger element, those aged around 15/16/17 coming through. Meerholtz is only 17 and on the bench for instance, Naismith had some good words when talking about him. I don't think NP or LM would have any hesitation in using Knight-Lebel who is extremely good imo and has played for Canada at U21 level, but who do you drop ? Maybe towards the end of the season or next season for a few.

100%. Nowhere near imo. I've not seen anything to justify a starting spot or more than a few minutes....Yet. TBH, I've not seen what you have in terms of ghosting past players in the first team (at least, not at all regularly, once maybe). I'm in central Dolman and there's certainly no buzz when he comes on, just a collective support for him as he's young from the academy. He's very keen and very quick but also very raw and confident (knocking on Mannings door to ask what he has to do to progress) so the type LM likes I would have thought - very coachable in his words. His time will hopefully come.

Thanks. As always, an honest and unbiased appraisal of the game. As always, disagree with the player scores especially Tanner.

Fair enough. I'm just a bit pissed off with it all.

If we are to keep the ball on the floor and play out from the back, we'll need a keeper who can play that role. Whilst it isn't a priority for January, it is a requirement for next season imo.

I listened to his comments so I'll interested in the version you get.

Umm. Ask JL ?

They're massive aren't they

Which is fine. But endlessly using it against other supporters is a bit shit really - and extremely boring.

I don't know of anyone at all who expected top 6 (including JL, that was just a piss poor excuse to get rid of NP). To keep repeating something that was obviously a load of bollux is a bit weird tbh.

Totally disagree and your reply could be seen as agenda driven as much as the posters. Its how it is on here for the time being. Unfortunately.

Not sure that last season is relevant in relation the posters observation ? May as well go back 10 years.

And obsessive.

He would have got a yellow if he fouled the guy straight away, but he left it too late as it would have been a red with their player having just O'Leary in front of him. We actually got caught a few times on the break which detracts from what was a very good away performance.

I did have a chuckle at that. One poster even said it was 100% certain Sykes was left back, but didn't actually provide any evidence for that. Loads outraged about something that didn't actually happen

This I fully understand the anger about the manner of NPs sacking and the (non)reasons given and I was extrememly annoyed myself, but some are becoming a bit obssessive about it.

Well, Norwich was certainly that. But, like today, we should have been out of sight anyway.

I thoiught it was a very good away performance. Just lacking the final touch or taking a wrong decision at a vital time (eg Mehmeti, Conway)

This

That aged well.
