Loosey Boy Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Odds falling; now 5-1 but still favourite for Brum job... Perhaps this is the delay.....waiting to secure Wigan’s safety before moving on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 His voice sounds like a cross between Sean Dyche, Johnny Vegas and someone gargling with gravel, there’s an hilarious interview with him on one of the Talksport ‘Clips of the Week’ montages where his voice was long gone! He must shout a lot during matches and training ... however, he has more achievements on his CV than our previous ‘Head Coach’ ... and here’s an interesting fact - both Cook and Cotts have managed Sligo Rovers ... I’ll take any omens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football not bad either, at times! Their 8th goal vs Hull, passage of play is definitely worth a look- he and Wigan seem to still be going on despite the admin thing. Away record was a big Achilles heel but 5 wins and I think 17 pts away from home from the start of 2020? We could do a lot worse- he lost his best player too in the summer, Powell- and some decent squad players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatn Over Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 How does paying a fair old wedge of compensation to Wigan for Cook, given that they will probably in the Championship next season, make economic sense; same with Coventry & Robins ? Just takes money out of our pot when there are candidates where no comp would be payable. Also it’s not really raising the profile of the club. Next season selling tickets, shirts, sponsorship and keeping Dunder along with certain others happy, are going to be critical, just cannot see this type of appointment doing that. Someone mentioned Moyes earlier, I’ve always had a thought that he might be in the mix and it wouldn’t surprise me if we waited to see what happens at WH.

Though different systems, if you have the right man in that central 3, then it can easily switch in-game to 4-3-3. With us, I think Brownhill could've done that! Palmer- nope. Paterson, maybe...maybe could play the Dowell role in that sense but ideal was Johansen at Fulham two seasons ago, able to transition between the two with some comfort.

Naismith their LW playing LCB was bringing it into midfield, Robinson high up the pitch, but we held out. We finished strongly with Diedhiou and Paterson scoring.

Good shout- was also thinking Walsh maybe as he I think likes a tackle but can break the lines with his passing? Seems quite creative but with a defensive side to his game too- in the right system I hasten to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might need a new addition in there as well. Would be surprised if korey’s here next season . Nagy has a great deal to improve on and so does Massengo , although he’s got time to develop .

I think 3 would get more out of Nagy- Massengo 19 now isn't he, time well and truly on his side (Massengo would also suit a 3 IMO). I want to see Morrell and Walsh get a proper go though in CM. Smith I don't know...with the number of midfield injuries we've got in recent times, and his experience feel he'd be useful to keep around.
