Paul Wilkinson's Black and White Army

In my opinion Wilko deserves a chance purely because of that goal he scored against Everton I will never forget it simplistic I know but that’s me

Quoted from 75

I have tried to listen / watch his interviews on IFollow but I haven't been able to get through any of them. May be unfair but he doesn't seem to have any charisma at all.

Neither did Hurst  

Since when did the ability to give a good interview directly relate to ability to manage a football team?

Get Jevons and Kalala in the backroom staff and then one day we might actually win a cup game.

Hmmm.Tough one. Plus point, if true, he wasn't Slade's man. Negative, what's he been doing the last year?

Again, if it's true that Slade didn't pick him, what the intercourse was Fenty doing picking a key member of the manager's staff?! If Slade did pick him, you've got to wonder why he didn't go as well. Typical balls up either way.

Come Saturday I'll be cheering the team on. Suspect a lot of people will be there making a loud noise in relief if not in belief. I think the roof will be lifted if we score.

I'm looking forward to his first interview, let's see if I can get through it without nodding off.

Won't someone  first have to wake you up before it starts though  ? 😎

I was aware of that when I typed it!

Got to give him a chance, I'd say 3 or 4 games will give us an idea of what he can do with the team. Just hope he keeps it all simple, Slades big problem was that he over complicated everything, yet appeared quite scatter-brained with it.
Not remembering how many loanees we had...well Wilko can surely count so he's up on him there. Despite his rather drab interviews Wilko came out of the Matt Dean savaging unscathed (and looked embarrassed by it)  so at least we have a manager who is (hopefully) starting afresh with Radio Humbs.

I'm hopeful that he can at least get us playing functional and even rather average football, as long as it puts points on the board.

Always IMO. Communication skills are vital. You have to be able to motivate your players, to get your ideas and philosophy over to your players. If you can't articulate your thoughts, the players won't know their jobs and it all goes wrong. It doesn't matter if you are the greatest tactician in the world, if you can't get that information to your players verbally and clearly then you can't succeed.

I agree Vicar, I played and coached under a great coach for about 6/7 years and he was a great coach, new his stuff from top to bottom, lived for the sport could tell you stats from the 1980s off the top of his head, would send you coaching books, send you new drill to do or help you work out what ever problem you had. However when it came to inspiring the players or giving instruction or encouragement or a bollocking. You could see them each one by one slowly switching off, he would shout when he didn't need to or would be quiet when he needed to shout.
