How long do we give him?

Dorrans and Naismith are the only Scottish players AN has signed. Is that "loading the team with second rate jocks"?

 

Just adding to the second rate jocks already here, Whitaker, McGrandles and the entire coaching staff

 

Bit hard on McGrandles, IMO, but even if you add those, it hardly constitutes 'loading the team', considering we have a squad of 25 senior players and 8 youffs.

 

For me if there are any less than 2 victories in the next 2 home games the board should consider AN's position.

The team selection for Birmingham was completely bizarre and contributed largely to us losing the match. It also shows us how much he doesn't rate Lafferty who I thought had a decent game against Coventry.

One point though to consider; The quality of the players in the team he put out should of been more than capable of getting a result on Saturday. You can blame the manager till the cows come home but there was enough quality in the team to get a result.

This worries me even more because it could signify that AN cannot get the best out of the players. Just look at Brady, he is a shadow.

We need our injured players to come back and a striker and then see how it is.

Another thought, It has been obvious that we needed a striker since the window opened and even before. It came home to roost on Saturday and we paid a heavy price. This cannot only be blamed on AN, what the hell is the board doing to remedy this? Nothing as far as I can tell. Have we even signed that chap from Benfica yet? Get it done!

 

Just posted on another thread that I've heard a rumour that Paul Lambert is being lined up to replace AN, not saying I agree with that but it's what I've heard. As the same 'source' told me about AN prior to his appointment I'm not dismissing it out of hand.

 

Never go back!

 

I once met a lass who could pretty much suck a golf ball through a hosepipe, Should I not have gone back repeatedly?

Bah!

 

If PL did cone back it would pretty much point the finger at McNally and Bowkett as his reason for leaving!

 

Fundamentally he could be a good candidate, but is he any good without IC or GK?

Bah!

 

No!! Sounds like you could have lost a B*llock!

 

I never wanted kids, so it was worth it!

Bah!

 

Hmmm...Now I can see why the golf ball/hosepipe metaphor came to mind.

 

I agree and what I find most disconcerting is that it's not just individual players having a bad game, but 9 or 10 having a 'mare.

 

It is worrying, we need a player or two with a bit of snarl who will always giveeverything and can drag some of the others out of their malaise

Bah!

 

Someone like Grant Holt maybe ?

 

You mean someone like Grant Holt?????

 

I think that ship has sailed but smeone like him yes!

Bah!

 

I think that ship has sailed but smeone like him yes!

Bah!

 

Or anyone other than Martin!!!!

 

Yeah, I wouldn't realy want Martin back, good at this level, liability around his mates in this area.

Bah!
