Robbored Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Course they do! Ask Keith Millen..The point being its bound to disrupt Colchesters preparation.The assistant manager at most clubs has more 'hands on' contact with the players.

samo Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Course they do! Ask Keith Millen..The point being its bound to disrupt Colchesters preparation.The assistant manager at most clubs has more 'hands on' contact with the players.Very true.Wonder what it's like in that dressing room right now? Just dumped out of the cup by a league two team and second bottom of the division. Adams making for the exit can't help matters. Let us hope GJ can take full advantage.

Let us hope GJ can take full advantage.No. 2 often the motivator and with their cup game defeat and league form can't be exciting down in the Colchester team dressing room .Never mind , professional approach as always to the game by the reds .

Red Cloud Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 let's hope it does have a negative effect, a good example recently is when poyet left Leeds - not been the same since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Its a bit of a worry, they'll probably be a better side without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton boy Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I think that the poster is reading a little bit too much on the importance of a No. 2.Not to say that a good No. 2 cannot be important, but just how important was he to Colchester, is, I doubt, mainly unknown to 99% of the people that read this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
