Jeff Wood. Should never have been given the job in the first place

Hinsh yes but Jimmy Case would come a close second. Jeff Wood wasn't around log enough to qualify. However Alan Mullery in his second stint and Micky Adams the same would be worth considering.

Er hem. Barry Lloyd got us promoted and nearly into the top flight. You need to also remember what was going on at board level with him as well.

He did however stand up to Archer and took us to the play offs at Wembley so not all bad.

Zamoras Left Boot
Micky Adams Mk II - team selections/positions seemed to be done with a pin and a blindfold.

My thoughts exactly with regards to Hinsh. That Burnley away day was superb, but I would have to go for Jeff Wood, for pure out of depthedness.

It just has to be Micky Adams MK II simply for the sheer, utter, horrendous, relentless depression that engulfed the Withdean stadium for months on end. Everything from the minor, irrelevant stuff like the £5 fine for boots in the "clubhouse", to the simply shocking team selections that just beggared belief such as this midfield V Cheltenham,
VIRGO!!!...... El-Abd..........Cox.........Fraser
Not to mention he signed perhaps the most ineffectual players ever like Jarret, Livermore, Fleetwood yet once upon a time had a midfield at his disposal of:
Anyinsah........Thornton.........Savage........Johnson
.... and he still managed to lose, resorting to the tactic of " And Sullivan takes the goal kick long towards Mcleod and guess what, it's gone out of play and over the top of his f***ing head again!!!"
Oh and Colin Hawkins.

Paul Wood was a better winger than Jeff Wood was a manager
In my time it would have to be in no particular order
Jimmy Case - great player , crap manager. Bottom of league when Gritt took over.
Hinshelwood - says it all really
Wilkins - Achieved nought

Is that GENUINELY how they lined up (ie Fraser on the left wing)?
So did Adams, so maybe that season should count as "Pat Saward Mk II"?

Love Jimmy as a player but as a manager it is hard to find anyone worse.

I kid you not! I think it was meant to be a diamond formation yet we soon realised the only reason Virgo was on the right was so we could have someone to hoof it to
