Wilco did hint he would like some help he will always be a No2 in management, don't think he has a hair drier treatment in his locker but even with that, you need respect.

Leadership amongst men is a standout attribution you have leaders and followers.

Slade did have charisma and could talk as well as any car salesman but failed to motivate his team albeit he must have smashed a few mirrors luck wise.

Wilko is a follower interestingly he mentioned some relation to Burnsy who helped him set up the team yesterday?? Or did I imagine it as I fell asleep lol.

Is he even a decent number 2?

Regarding the comments about Clifton needing to start ahead of, say, Berrett, has there been any indication that Clifton is actually a better player? We'd all like him to come through into the team and do well, but there must be some reason why he's barely made a first team appearance yet under a few different managers.

Yes, my heart sank too as soon as I saw the line up. My attempt to get something out of the day by testing some new walking boots around sunny Cambridge's punts and spires fell flat. Several elements of the Barnet away day held promise. Large following, Big Chris in jocular form, Lloyd in the snack bar queue.............. Gut wrenching, soul destroying, self destruction on and off the pitch.

If he's not ready it makes the decision to send Clements out on loan even more ridiculous.

And on loan to a rival team no less! Genius. Where, incidentally, he has already scored more goals from midfield in a few weeks that Berrett and Summerfield combined in the full season so far.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that people seem to have almost been deliberately trying to dismantle the club.

Quoted from Maringer
Regarding the comments about Clifton needing to start ahead of, say, Berrett, has there been any indication that Clifton is actually a better player? We'd all like him to come through into the team and do well, but there must be some reason why he's barely made a first team appearance yet under a few different managers.


I think we are all basing our opinion on the fact that Clifton may actually move around the field and like other have said if he cannot bring more to the team than Berrett provides why is he still with us?

Given McAllister appears to have disappeared off the scene to leave the club with the central midfield options of Rose, Berrett and Summerfield is just criminal and a major factor in why we are so crap.

The point about Clifton and McAlister is that they are not Berrett and to a degree Rose or Summerfield. Fankly those three in various combinations have proved consistently that they cannot contribute in any sustained fashion over the current season, and for Berrett and Summerfield that extends to the previous 2 seasons. Looking back even further for Berrett he's now been relegated or in relegation battles for 4 of the last 5 seasons. Startling.

They've had ample chance and it hasn't worked. The question is, is it better to keep persisting with something that has prved not to work over a long period of time, or do you try something different.

Wilko is not the man to lead us to sunny horizons, he has the taint of Slade transplanted in his generic make up,  to the extent that he sort of sorry that his mentor has left the building.

He answers all the questions truthfully but they are not the answers that we want to hear from someone who has the balls to empty the swamp and rethink and use what little useful players that has been spared by Slade.

We need an energetic experienced manager to help us claw our way out of this whirlpool of losses, not inexperience or bullshitters, there is someone out there who won`t come cheap but whoever it is has to have the authority to sell his ideas to lost souls
