Confirmed Graham Alexander New Manager, Chris Lucketti as Assistant

[keithaw]

Yep, it’s 0%

Brian Kidds record as our permanent manager could be in danger .

He had a win ratio of 0% from his 9 games as manager in 1986..

Remember him walking out during a game and resigning

Dunno if this is a regular thing for youth team graduates (given we never have any) but if not and it’s Alexander’s idea I think it’s class

I don’t follow the youth players at all….

How close do we think Ed Nolan is to displacing the like of Hughes, Storey or Lindsay as a first team starter ??

99.9% unlikely. Realistically they’re all with the first team because the squad is decimated rather than them being good enough. He’s also predominately a fullback/midfielder according to Bobbage

He played on Saturday because Pol was so woeful against Millwall Grezza seems sick of him already and wanted to see Potts centrally

 

[Bobbage]

Ali McCann in full training kit is promising.

He may just be coming in for massages or hydrotherapy etc

Same with Clarke

He'll be used as a wingback or defensive midfielder because of his engine.

Too small to be a football league centre half in my opinion.

Ed Nolan was an absolute machine doing all the running for the two of them in central midfield like another Ali McCann.

Rather give him a run in midfield than Potts whilst Thompson is suspended

Win against WBA and the whole mood will change.

Can't see it at this point but this is football.

Seems an impossibility at this stage. The defence somehow looks even worse than under Heckingbottom.

1 goal easily turns into 4, with zero effort required from the opposition.

 

[Whist75]

I hope some of these young lads can break through but unfortunately can’t see it. Can’t remember last time one that did.

Outside of the smattering of appearances made by Best and Mawene, who are both non-league level (League 2 if we're being generous), it's Ben Davies.

I have issues with how we look after likes or best and mawene (for example), and we can with real authority write em off as non league, with the back drop of the current crop of shite in our squad. Pathways and career development seem to be as well managed as our first team squad. Eh Pete

 

[milkyken]

That happens at every club, all the time.
I'd encourage rowing amongst eachother.
As long as it stays on the training pitch, I see it as healthy for a squad.

Think quite a bit of falling out. The cushty arms is being shaken and a few aren’t happy being questioned

I see it as only a positive. These shirkers have been taking the piss for way too long.

 

[OB1]

Sounds like Lonergan might be replacing Pollitt after all. Not sure about the logic of that, does feel a little jobs for the boys

 

[Heck Tuah]

Josh Earle also.

I had a feeling I was missing one.

Must be painful. 😁

On the flip side it could be employing people with good CV's who are more than competent and have the added bonus of being passionate about the Club with the incentive therefore of doing there absolute utmost.
Those few extra percentages of motivation might make all the difference.

He's currently coaching in women's football. He'll be cheap.

Just for a moment, I thought you'd say womens football was a totally different ball game.
Phew!😓

Realistically if he wasn’t called Lonners and he was just coaching women’s football nobody would suggest him or think he’d be a good pickup. It’s not one that’s going to inspire the players

Is it not more likely to be Mawene?
