Its like you don't understand the club and how much it fails you in your blind support.

 

Probably not
But consider Harrogate spotted him and took him on loan
Something we don't seem capable of doing with any bright young talent
Watch him have a mare on Sunday now !!!!!!

 

What about him?

 

We sign Elliott, Clarke, Sutton, DHM, ROD and Billy

Clarke, ROD, DHM were here last season and part of the shocking team.

Elliott is an improvement on paper but we will have to wait and see

Is Billy better than McCartan I am not so sure

Sutton is better than Danny Devine? Not convinced

So basically we haven't even improved on the 14 players we still have contracted and the players brought in are not that great.

How anyone can have a positive mindset about us at this moment I never know.

@Park bantam is living in another world if he think we have made better signings that Salford so far.

 

Well what we have done isn't good enough! Simple really.

We haven't improved on the rubbish we still have. Guthrie is still here! AOC still here! BRE still here.

Our of all contracted players still here I would only keep Wood and Vaughan!

So when you say look at ourselves then I am and we are shite!

 

Been watching a steady decline over the last few years

 

Yes I also heard him make that comment, during his first season back after Phil walked he keep us unbeaten at Valley Parade and that made teams worry about us rather than us change our system/formation to counter them.
I'm not sure at league two level players can change formations several times within a game, Sheffielfd & Wolves were good examples but they have far superior talented footballer than league two players.
I get what he is saying, get the starting 11 right with a formation that is best suited for those players and we shouldn't need to worry about changing formations during the game.

 

Rubbish. No they didn't.

They changed tactics against us and some others but most of the time their tactics were simple. Get the into the box pass to the central forward to shoot.

Hence why their manager said we have others that can score 20 plus goals.

 

Even though they won the league they struggled against us in both games, I didnt take a great deal of notice with regards Swindons changing formations but I do remember saying after watching them play Oldham at the County Ground they were lucky to still be in the game at half time Oldham looked the promotion chasing side and if they had been more clinical during the first half Oldham would won, very similar to when Oldham came to Valley Parade they played some delightfull football but couldnt finish.

 

McCall is no Parkinson. Let’s be honest.

 

Hmm . I see no evidence that he has learnt anything. His time at Scunthorpe would be evidence of that.

 

Most of the time while he was here his plan A did work, I am more a fan of countering teams rather than sticking to a plan anyway. Im assuming this is why we had such dross away form last season as teams knew what to expect.

 

39 games...so we totally dismiss it because he only got 39 games....almost a whole season...Jeez

Anyway I would rather not cherry pick.

From an English league management perspective I would prefer to look at his stints at Bradford 1 and 2 and his stint at Scunthorpe and look at league position, not possession time or percentage wins.

But acknowledging your point I will try to remember to argue that we are a successful club because our manager has a better win percentage than your manager. I am sure the Millwall supporters at Wembley were distraught that their manager couldn't boast the same win percentage all those years ago :-(

Can we turn that into a song for the Kop?

We don't care, we don't care if we dont win a cup or go up
Our manager has a tremendous win percentage and ginger hair..look.

I can hear it ringing out and echoing down Midland Road.

 

He must have a fantastic agent if true. Bottom of league two to a side chasing play offs at the time and now to league one with hardly a ball kicked for his current side.

 

Broke the Watt news first in all fairness.
