Curr Avon Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) DaveP hosts a review of the game with Dave Fevs, Ian Gay & Mark Tovey. Is our new boss trying to change too much too soon? Edited December 14, 2023 by Curr Avon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall’s Splinter Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Wish @Davefevs would have taken Ian to task more during their live face off. Felt it was a missed opportunity. For a seasoned presenter @headhunterdoesnt half jump in before people have finished their point. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobtherobin Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Really enjoyed this episode and thought Dave Fevs was excellent on it; both in terms of the analysis of the more nuanced tactical stuff, and in challenging Ian when he basically said its Nige's fault for getting sacked. Its a shame that debate didn't get a bit more space, because I have a feeling that the Pearson decision is going to put us back in League 1 sooner than a lot of people think so it needs to be fully unpicked....maybe we can have round 2 soon. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian is in denial and it's hilarious, he will spin anything going forward now to make out it's Nigel's fault. I have listened to the pod for the past 3 years and he never gave Nige a chance when he took the job despite taking over arguably one of the worst City's teams in the last 25 years. Fans like him have got what they wanted, they better hope LM succeeds. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdivision Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 Ian is a good broadcaster/podcaster: good diction, nice turn of phrase, and articulate with a clearly argued point of view. He makes me laugh, not necessarily because he’s trying to be funny but because he’s so irascible and opinionated. He’s the best aspect of the podcast, even if you disagree with his opinions. I too would liked to have heard more of Ian discussing matters with Dave F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont agree with much of what he says but always enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 @Davefevs made me laugh listening to Kieran Maguire on Price of Football earlier this evening talking about a dog fight with FIFA, "I've not got a dog in the fight, but I have got a spreadsheet!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 One thing struck me from the pod cast and mentioned couple of times on other threads post Blackburn. Is how wells - Naismith both indicated how confused the players looked particularly in the first half. A bit scary if you ask me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes he talks some utter shit that makes people come back, just to hear what bollox he’s going to say next! His dislike and constant calls for Pearson to be fired were laughable and the others would follow at arms length. I’m sure this bloke (Manning) will get backed by Ian relentlessly as he is all about the I told you so moment! Bless him! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The turtle Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Do you know the dumbest part! We just so happen to be missing a quality, creative attacking midfielder. I mean who knew!!! They also cost money, i mean who knew!! .... Before "the change" while it often wasn't pretty. They were tactics built to suit the players available. (And yes sometimes it went too far, see over the top for bell in a way too predictable way) with an understanding it was a building block to bigger and better future. Even if in reality it was one step back from last year due to creativity lost. Since "the change* Up to this point, we've exposed our very own weaknesses more than we've affected positive change. We have control, we seem to be in the game.... And then chaos chimes in and the games got away. (The is not by chance) I'd like to think... LM has seen with the current players available, in our best parts of games, whether it be counter v Southampton, or plan B v Blackburn... The success was in forward intent football NOT control. But he's so embedded to control I suspect he'll live or die by it. (And that's where the accusation of changing too much in one go comes in) Time will tell.

W-S-M Seagull Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) By comparison I just went and listened to the 3 peeps podcast. The difference is night and day. They may aswell just hand the podcast over to JL and BT, the output would be the same. It's almost as if they have Barton sat there telling them what to say. There is definitely an emphasis on positives on that pod and that its firmly the players that are to blame and not the management.

Your hosting skills are very good Dave I thought you hosted / controlled this one with the proper debate going on particularly well. Ive never done it but I’m absolutely sure it’s like commentating , something that is a lot harder to do than it looks to anyone who’s not tried it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni71 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 A good episode. @Davefevs made a big difference in providing an analytical perspective on what happened on the pitch rather than just the emotional view on the match. Would have liked the debate play out with Ian and Dave. Agree with comments above that Ian will back LM till the cows come home due to his dislike for NP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I remember a few weeks ago I queried possibly due to Ian on Manning the full Independence of FBC. Not independence in a bought off way more like independence in too quick to instinctively defend a club position. Listened to a few since, happy to say I was wrong- ofders a good range of views, the club leaning one is definitely 3 Peaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
