Abort, retry, fail
...for dinner tonight, I hope. He thoroughly deserves a nice slap up meal and a glass or two of the best wine in the house.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

I don't particularly like the bloke, but you can't argue with our position at the moment, sacking him now would be daft

I'm still sitting on the fence. I'll judge after 25 games, and find out where we're in the table.

He's learning. The substitutions were spot-on today.

Doing a good job at the moment but things can quickly change. Still don't think he's the manager to take us up to the next divison but I'd like to be proved wrong.
Just goes to show how influential you can be just by making the right changes at the right time. I was pissed off after the leeds game with him but today he was positive.

I do not have a major problem with him it is back up I am concerned about there is a limit to how many TVs the club can afford to buy and have tuned in.

Considering how little support Knight and Co have provided,Wilkins has done very well, I hope he will be given the opportunity to continue in his post when,Gold or whoever take control of the club.
The Large One
Who's Next?
They've backed him with a three-year contract. To my mind, that's quite some backing.
WW - what do you mean when you say you don't like the bloke?
The Large One
Who's Next?
Maybe he means several extremely important people at the club have told him personally that Wilkins is not a very nice man, but he does not want to reveal who they are?
Does seem to be today's hot topic.

Probably not the best of moments to explain, but i'll give it my best shot.
As a person - i think his interviews are RUBBISH, i disagree with many of the opinions voiced in his interviews, and he bores me as much as I probably bore you (and if that isn't a good comparision, then you can probably replace 'me' with 'Hove Born & bread')
As a MANAGER - he pisses me off more often than not. 90% of the time He DOESN'T pick a side i agree with
He has a habit of making GASH substitions (can't argue with the ones he made on Saturday though, even if they were obvious)
His signings have, generally speaking, been pretty woeful. Savage and O'Callaghan i can''t argue with however, and probably Flinders too...but the rest have been toss.
Even now (with a winning team) he doesn't generally convince me. The french bloke...is he really better than the rest of our midfielders? Do the playing staff actually WANT to play for HIM? Is El-Abd really better than Butters? Should Robinson really be playing up front when he's managed one scuffed finish against a tinpot outfit in a competition nobody cares about? Why has it taken him so long to realise Bas ISN'T a winger? If we have one bad game against poor opposition, is he REALLY the man who can turn it around, and avoid a 6 match losing streak?
Fortunately, we AREN'T on a losing streak, we're WINNING games for once, and in the last couple of weeks, he's actually got his subs spot on, so i can't really complain (unless you really question me, as you have done!). Hopefully, i won't have to raise those issues again...but until he's been consistent over a longer period of time, i can't help but question him.
Still, you never know, and all that.
