Re: Phil Brown

A few questions? 1: Have you seen his bank account, how do you know he is 'poor'? 2: Isn't everybody (most people) who takes a new job an opportunist, I mean most jobs have generally become available because another person has left. Added with the fact he was probably contacted rather than him appl...

Re: Phil Brown

I really hope I'm wrong, but there is something about him that I can't warm to. There are too many "if the truth be told", or "if I'm being honest". It's predictable soundbytes at this stage, who all things considered is an opportunist - out of work because he was poor, but now ...

Re: Phil Brown

I am OK with this, to be honest, seems I might be in the minority! Whatever happened at Southend is not relevant, different situation, different club. We have our own destiny in our hands and we have some good players in this squad who just need to be used right. A good tactic is one that uses the p...

Re: Drinking in seats at Holker Street?

A minority of drinkers in pubs act stupidly as well. Should we ban drinking in pubs too? People at the football scream profanities at other people for 90 minutes, should we allow that in pubs too? You are blinkered if you can’t see this is an idea that would cause more trouble. Never mind the thoug...

Re: New Home Kit Launch

Don't mind it, to be honest.

Nice to see my mates company on the back, as well.

Will wait for the away to be announced before deciding which one I get as my usual birthday present :D

Re: i follow

I agree that IFollow has provided a great service whilst the crowds have not been in the grounds, but I think that clubs would rather have money though the gates, and the atmosphere generated by supporters being in the ground to watch. I would also think that the club would also get home crowds in ...

Re: Commercial Manager appointed

I don't follow such events closely, but was there not a Commercial Manager in place prior to this appointment? I don't think we have had a "named" commercial manager since the Cassons unceremoniously dumped Emma Athersmith (harshly imo) I stand to be corrected if wrong but since then I th...

Re: The Commentators

Listened to a really good interview with Mike Ingham (The voice of 5 live) and it was really interesting to hear the differences between TV and Radio commentators and how much of a fine art it is to do radio commentary well. It seems obvious but there are so many more skills required for radio comme...

Re: Scunny v Barrow Match Thread

1st half: 7/10 2nd half: 0/10 I could not believe the difference in the halves, 1st half there was pressing, there was urgency and there was endeavour. Where the camera was it was funny because whenever the ball came out to their right they seemed to have time but then Brough suddenly appeared in sh...

Re: Vs Scunny (changes)

The above teams include Hardcastle, what system and personnel would you play without him?? I would personally play the same 4-3-3. I know they are not showing anything but we have Gribbin and Biggins who could both play behind Quigley. Maybe even Kay or James can fill in and put a shift in. Another...

Re: Vs Scunny (changes)

As people have been saying constantly a back 5 does not work with the midfielders we have. The 3 older midfielders are all varying degrees of defensive so can play deeper with a back 4 and they can supplement the back line, if absolutely needed. I would play 4-3-3 Hopefully Hardcastle will be availa...

Re: Sack Dunn

It is not simply about caring for the club, it is about professionalism. The fans will obviously demand a love for the club they support but to some players they play for an employer. I don't love the company I work for, I like the people I work with and for (most of them anyway) and that drives me...

Re: Sack Dunn

We are in a relegation place now but goal difference is saving us. With forwards who can’t score and a defence that lets in goals like a bucket with a hole in it we will soon be in the second relegation spot. I believe the players are good enough but they just need someone with the ability to motiv...
