"What we could really, really do with right now is a wheelbarrow."
"Don't be f***king stupid, you silly old cow! Where would we get a wheelbarrow round here?"
I nominate David Adekola, the Nigerian international collossus signed by Jimmy Case to partner the equally prolific Christer Warren during our darkest days. Played once and released.
Well done Jimmy.
I think we'll be a quite attractive prospect for a manager next season, if we do go down. The number of players out of contract will give a new man plenty of scope to build his own team (if allowed by the chairman), but we will have the nucleous of a decent squad - Elphick, Cox, Lynch, Murray...
His brief was surely to keep us up, regardless of circumstances. Since this looks unlikely, and not a great deal has really changed - tactics, player selection, substitutions - I'd be bitterly disappointed not to see a MASS clearout in the summer, top to bottom. Bring in a completely new...
Farrington was disappointing certainly, but he was weighed down by the price tag associated with him (£100k), the fact that he was brought in to replace Mike Small and the fact that he was woefully injury prone. His transfer fee was appearance related, £60k up front & another £40k after X number...
I'm assuming Russell Slade has been brought in with the specific task of keeping us up. If he fails to fulfill that, I don't see why he should be kept on. In fairness to him, I think he has been hamstrung by the decision to retain the backroom staff who have had so much influence over our poor...
We've had plenty of time to identify what's going wrong and sort it out, but even with decent, new players we are still seeing the same old stuff; players out of position, poor set pieces, few or no shots on target etc. That's not down to bad luck, it's down to coaching. The Cheltenham game was...
Don't know where algie has got his info from, not seen it confirmed anywhere & I only hope he's wrong! Reading the Oldham messageboard & Chronicle sites, they want to sign him, but it's expected be on loan & only if he's not snapped up on a permanent deal. I've still got my fingers crossed he'll...
