He’ll also be telling his players to have a pop from distance as well if he’s any sense, with his strikers told to follow up for any rebound off the keeper! 

Which one?

That was an absolutely disgraceful showing 2nd half. Wtf is wrong with them? This simply doesn't look like the same players. A complete shower of shit. Not one brain cell between them. And on what possible basis was Stockdale on the pitch? Two howlers in two games. Now three.

Cheltenham goal was debatable with the weather. Thought he should have done better against Lincoln for their goal, but don't blame him for the shot in the build up to the pen today as he saw it late. We've got two average goalkeepers, if we don't go up its not down to who's been starting in goal IMO

The FA need to stop running the England team like a club, in that when a new head coach comes in they bring their own backroom team with them. 

To use France as an example; Deschamps is at the head of a 20 strong backroom team and he's only brought 3 of those in. On the coaching staff he has people who've coached successfully outside of the French domestic game. He has positions on his staff like 'player lead' who's the conduit between coach and players. Marcel Desailly has been player lead since 2017 and Edgar Davids holds a similar position with the Dutch and when Van Gaal leaves he will leave his backroom in place for the next man. 

 

France still having a class starting XI despite all their injuries might have more to do with it than their coaching staff 

Big Dunc, Dacourt, Steve Watson, Materazzi, John Collins etc would have pissed all over Wilson's signings if we'd got Smith. Don't remember Everton being much better off than us financially at that point, but could be wrong.

Still love Wilson as a player even though he managed those wank stains

Small group chanting for him to go today, shouted down by a bigger crowd

Won't be long before it's the other way round 

6 foot centre backs heading crosses away isn't rocket science either 

I didn't have an opinion on Stockdale either way before today. I've only seen the goals live, but he seemed slow to react to the first one. Heneghan had a decent game I thought. Proper old fashioned centre half, but wouldn't like to see him up against anyone with pace

Bone idle waster who would still be playing at a decent level if he had the right attitude. 

Tony Currie testimonial 😳

George Best and Frank Worthington were playing so that's my get out 😁

They hate us more than they love their own team. Will never get my head round that. Leeds are the same with Man U 

Thoughts on who you'd like to take over? Steve Baker would be decent imo 

Hoddle

Robson

Maradona

Matthaus

Gazza

Coleman? 

Must be Taylor then 

Shakespeare?

Be careful out there everyone....watch out for scousers carrying knives....the murdering *****....

Thought that was Turks? 

Brazil putting his foot in it and Hawksbee & Jacobs were the only things worth listening to. Brazil and Jacobs are only on once or twice a week now so rarely listen. Simon Jordan isn't bad every now and again, but couldn't listen to Jim White talking shite every day

How would you know, you're a Wednesday fan. 

Ha, when Forest were 3-0 up on pens was hoping they weren't going to do what we did at Wolves 

Never had a problem with it personally. It's only shite when your players bottle it. Winning a shootout feels better than a last minute winner 

I wasn't outraged at the Kirkland incident. More embarrassed how easily he went down.

Di Piedi at Brum, about 700 of us there

Hirst v Man U near the end of the 86/87 season 

Soltvedt. Class whilst on loan, then when he signed permanently was utter dog shit
