Most on here still strangely seem to celebrate that Whittle tried to break Alan Shearer's jaw.

I guess Bignot didn't sign him though so that's different  


I celebrate it because if you remember correctly Mary Poppins elbowed him first,so I still smirk when I see the scare on Shearers smug face

He was one signing who was given a short term deal. MB signed several others on longer deals who are part of Slades plans for the future, so were they part of " what was wrong with the Bignot era "? Every town manager has signed one or two bad players so why single MB out?


Because there is a nasty short memoried clique on here who would be anti-bignot no matter what he had done,not our worst manager by far.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Perhaps instead simply a huge majority who had no wish to return straight back to non league which is where inevitably we were heading with MB at the helm.The man was clearly way out of his depth.

Difference between Brodie and Gunning (and by extension Hurst and Bignot) is that Bignot picked Gunnning every week mainly a position where we had 35 different players whose specialist position was there and when he played at centre half against Donny, he was dreadful. Hurst quickly saw Brodie was a waste of space and dropped him and sent him back, he admitted his mistake and got rid.

I would say they would have to be part of his plans as they are on long deals so likely to be here for some time whether RS wants them or not.

Square pegs in round holes was the folly of Marcus Bignot - Slade seems to have brought more pace, balance in team formations and players in the right positions, and with proper instructions on how to play. now.... how they play against the opposition will be the real test as to whether old long term contract players can fit into Slade's plan.

It's all too easy to drift back into a known position rather than stay as an isolated winger or full back.

Two vocal captains at the back should also steady things to give all players an opportunity to shine.

One or two potential exciting players also signed for the fans to get behind if they live up to reputations or improve from the training given.

We should not be afraid of any other team in this division - but it's how we play on the day and how injury free that the team stays that will count !

Possibly part of a minority group but I'm absolutely certain there's a player in Gunning somewhere. Just needs to channel that aggression correctly


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx
