Roadrunner Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 If he puts four forwards on with 10 minutes to go, as i have seen on here.. Just watched a Sky football programme when he was manager at Carlisle United. With seconds to go of the season they were going out the league. He got the goalkeeper to go up for a corner. The goalkeeper name was Jimmy Glass, the rest as they say is history. Worth watching as Nigel was starting his managers career. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Damn! If Glass hadn't scored, Carlisle would have gone down and Scarborough would still be a league team with less travel for the majority of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a really good documentary about him and that goal on sky sports a few months ago, worth looking up especially for the retro Pearson connection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Probably one of the best footballing moments of all time - great story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Jimmy Glass on the Under the Cosh podcast is great. Talks about his whole career as well as this moment, funny guy (and extremely unlucky), highly recommended. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 One thing I don’t get is throwing on five forwards when chasing a game. Has it ever worked ? I remember LJ doing similar but always thought it was a bit amateurish and destabilising more for the team than the opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team is chasing the game then they’re already losing so what can a manager do? Bringing on more strikers seems an obvious option but as with any tactical/formational moves that’ll change the team balance and/or shape and very possibly leave the back door open but then you’re losing anyway…… Its never an easy call.

Port Said Red Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 I think I may have told this story here before but, at the beginning of that season I was working with Frank Talia's partner she was the training officer at a Bristol hotel. We had to go on a few training gigs together so we had a few chats on the motorway and of course what Frank was up to. There were some interesting things that came up like the fact that Swindon didn't have a professional coach, and that Frank and Jimmy had to pay for one themselves to come in a couple of times a month. One day I asked her if Frank had ever fancied himself as an outfield player she said "no, but Jimmy does, he takes every opportunity to play up front if they are short in training". And lo, it came to pass that those training sessions came in handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supercidered Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 The Jimmy Glass moment was quality. If I remember rightly though, his contract expired shortly after and didn't get renewed? I'm of a certain age so may have imagined that.
