Dastardly and Muttley Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 If you look back at my posts following Wigley's appointment, you'll see that I was very happy and felt we had the right man. Now, I'm not so sure. If Millen comes across as someone who lacks a bit of passion, he needs a formidable character. Someone to play the Frank Barlow to his Danny Wilson, if you will. I would want Wigley to step up to the plate a bit more, and become more of a public force in the management team. Surely he could do some interviews, get his persona known by the fans, and become more of a presence. He's meant to be the experienced hand to support Millen during this time - at the moment, I can only remember seeing or hearing a comment from him on the day he was appointed. Surely he could do more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Bristol-City_ Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wigley is the only reason Danny and Steve are here. Our youth might pick up. He is always moaning at the players aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Wigley is the only reason Danny and Steve are here. Joe Jordan might be another reason. Judging by today's snippets on Aaron Holloway on another thread, Tottenham's supposed interest in him might be another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 i too, was very pleased with the appointment of wigley, however is he too similar to millen. both seem quite laid back and content on the side. i think we lack a charachter in the dugout, someone like martin allen but preferably with football knowledge.

Martyn Hocking Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Irrelevant really what he is like on matchday - what he is paid for is his impact on the training ground. So far, that impact has been non-existant. We are just as bad in defence as we were before he arrived and are still not scoring goals. I was not impressed by his appointment and am even less impressed now. Someone said on another thread that grey characters like Millen often recruit other grey characters to work with them as they feel comfortable that way. Unfortunately that rarely works in football. You need a good cop-bad copy team, a ranter and a thinker. Right now we have two good cops, I suspect, and no ranters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I can't always tell from up in the Dolman but what is Wigley like on the sidelines. Does he just sit on the bench. If Millen is just standing arms folded then we need someone to have a go at the players. As suggested in another thread, someone like Shaun Taylor.

From what I've seen Wigley is more like Ken Barlow! Saints fans say he was the worst manager they've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 From what I've seen Wigley is more like Ken Barlow! Saints fans say he was the worst manager they've ever had. But he's our coach, not manager. I would suspect the two lads from Spurs are here, in large part, because of the presence of the England under 21 coach.

BCFC Jordan Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I doubt he'd be employed as England Under 21 AM if he was as awful as some have made out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
