Marcus Bignot offered the job

I appreciate the club said they wouldn't be giving a running commentary on the appointment of a new manager but surely they should have said something by now?
IF an appointment is imminent which is what every media source and even the prospective manager are saying then surely GTFC could have said something like 'we expect to make a formal announcement on Monday/Tuesday'

Just another example of the magificent fans being treated like shite

PROPER WINGERS, PROPER CROSSES FOR THE FORWARDS !!

You know it makes sense !!!!

No square pegs out of position, please !!

You won't get many of them from Tombola until he learns to look up and pick out a man. He has frightening pace and power but his end product is not there yet and he needs more coaching for me. Twice yesterday he was in a great position and both times the ball went straight to the keeper. There is not a lot of end product from him at the moment and that is probably why he's not a starter and more of an impact sub.  

The play two wingers solves everything debate.

So we play two wingers.

Do we play one up front so we can still play a midfield three so we have enough possession to feed the wingers? And if we do, then only one in the box for the cross.

Do we play two up front which leaves us overrun with a central midfield two then no service to the wingers?

We have only one central midfielder who in my opinion has the attributes to play in a central midfield two and that is Comley. Even if we had another, most weeks we'll come up against a midfield three and most likely lose control in there.

Don't get me wrong I don't like to see central midfielders pushed out wide. I'd play Browne in front of Berrett every day of the week. But to play two from the start of a match would be suicidal in the modern game.

Name me one currently successful side that plays two wingers in a 4-4-2. The game's moved on. The mickey was taken out of the formation in the Mike Bassett movie "We're England, we play four four feckin two". That film was made in 2001.

If we play two out and out wingers something's got to give elsewhere.

Browne deserves a start in maybe a 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2, 4-5-1 or a 4-3-3 and exciting as he is I think Bolarinwra could be a liability on the right from the start of a game especially with Zak Mills as good as he's been has made only a handful of League appearances.

Anyway we'll have a new manager tomorrow and it should be the end of week in week out 4-4-2 no matter what, square pegs in round holes that we've got so used to in the PH years.

I want to see more of Browne and more of Bolarinwra. But in a 4-4-2 that belongs to the previous century?

No thanks..

I disagree with what you say about Andrew. I think he is the best left back we have had in recent seasons [Townsend apart] He does a hell of a lot of work both attacking and defending. If you play 4-2-4 you have to have the winger covering for the full back when he goes forward. We haven't had a proper left winger starting for yonks. I am not blaming Vose because he has been played out of position so lets see what Browne can do. At the moment Andrew is running up and down like a blue arsed fly with no support or backup

Agree with Golfer on this. When we played against Morecombe on the opening day PH played Bolarinwa in front of Andrew, both looked really good. I would really like to see Rhys Browne start he looks like he has something different.

Now seems the media are tweeting a press conference has been called for Monday morning. Shame the club couldn't have told us first even if we all assume we know
