Re: Aaron Pressley
Very good.
Plenty of craic with the Elvis songs but maybe the link isn't so tenuous after all because guess what Elvis' middle name was? So l guess the lad's Dad was happy to promote the rather iffy association too. I remember the Dad being interviewed on RC when he was Carlisle's boss. Very tetchy customer who took umbrage at every question posed in the post match interviews. The RC presenters were on pins with him - quite funny really.
Back on topic l hope Aaron does well for both our sakes. So give the lad plenty of support and don't be cruel. (Have we had that one?)
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...
Re: Aaron Pressley
I had a feeling we would bring Pressley in, he was 'Always On My Mind' !
Re: Aaron Pressley
Don't think he lasted long at Carlisle always got the feeling when he was on Radio Carlisle he would end up giving the interviewer the Glasgow kiss.Wintergreen wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 7:38 amVery good.

More entertaining than Paul Simpson who could put a glass eye to sleep.
Re: Aaron Pressley
I have been amused by people asking for a new striker do you not realise we have including the signing yesterday we have EIGHT on the books DALLAS, GARNER, TELFORD, AQUAH, MAHONEY, KIRK, KOUYATE and now PRESSLEY it must be the most forwards in any league 2 club and still we cannot find one that works and that's down to the manager and staff, something needs to change but don't keep posting on here we need one we have eight.

It's not down to the manager unless he brought them in as most of them are useless. It's down to whoever recruited them.JayBee wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 10:53 am I have been amused by people asking for a new striker do you not realise we have including the signing yesterday we have EIGHT on the books DALLAS, GARNER, TELFORD, AQUAH, MAHONEY, KIRK, KOUYATE and now PRESSLEY it must be the most forwards in any league 2 club and still we cannot find one that works and that's down to the manager and staff, something needs to change but don't keep posting on here we need one we have eight.![]()

The problem is that the strikers we bring in are from Blackpool Beach.russell_anderson wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:08 amIt's not down to the manager unless he brought them in as most of them are useless.

Their inability to find the net is down to the coaching staff led by Head Coach Clemence.russell_anderson wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:08 am

Re: Aaron Pressley
Ok, our forwards haven't been doing the business this year.
But what about our midfielder quartet of Kian Spence, Dean Campbell, Robbie Gotts, and Sam Foley?
Last season, they contributed with 19 goals between them.
This season, with half of it gone, they have the paltry total of 3 goals.
To me that's also a problem area.

If players lack basic ability, no coach can improve them. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!bluessupporter wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 12:58 pmTheir inability to find the net is down to the coaching staff led by Head Coach Clemence.russell_anderson wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:08 am

Re: Aaron Pressley
No. It's a valid point but the midfield shouldn't be expected to cover up the attacking deficiencies. Goals from midfield are a bonus but the main goals should be from attacking players. Other than Spence who is well down on last season we don't have any attacking midfield players. Gotts will never score many goals and Campbell is playing more or less as a holding midfield player since White was released.Hadrian wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 2:13 pmDid you miss the point of saltcellar's post?russell_anderson wrote: ↑Fri Jan 10, 2025 1:48 pm If players lack basic ability, no coach can improve them.
