I probably concur with that but the fact that he isn't there to put the senior pro's in their place and make them show some respect to a young manager does make me wonder.....christ the pre-match drills are hardly owt to shout home about, if that's modern coaching, we are all screwed...


I think it shows a lot about a manager's coaching methods what they do pre-match. Take Lincoln, for example, on the pitch before the game at BP earlier in the season they had 9 back room staff on the pitch (including the Cowley's) and three groups of players warming up (subs, first XI and keepers). OK, they didn't play well that day but they probably do the same routine most weeks and a sitting pretty at the top of League 2. Meanwhile, you want Wilko to come back with his 'chipping it up to four defenders from the half-way line warm up'...

We don’t look like a team that can scrape a draw
We tried that at Stevenage
There ain’t any wins coming at the min
I am as lost as MJ with it all
Plus we look so unfit ?
Come on please please prove me wrong Town and get a result somewhere v v soon

When people say he turned us around last season does that mean we suddenly started playing the ball on the deck and passed our way round the opposition, from what my old memory recalls we still hoofed it up front hoping for something.

We just played the few teams that were even more crap than us and got lucky with penalties

Agreed about the style of football but he did sort of get some spirit/ fight into the team .. which sadly now appears not to be there

Why would you think Wilko would put senior players in their place, whenever interviewed he didn't seem to know what was going on and if I remember correctly he didn't have much success with getting them playing when he was in charge.

I don't go with the view that we look unfit in any way. I think we're just lacking a bit in pace. Combined with the fact that we're playing poorly and so find ourselves on the back foot, just reacting to what is happening, and so it looks as though we just can't keep up with the opposition.

In our good performance against Lincoln, we didn't look unfit because we were on the front foot. It we can somehow find form from somewhere, we'll suddenly seem a lot fitter.

We played promotion chasing Notts County off the pitch. Some very good football that day. Did the same to Lincoln this season, without getting the win we deserved. When he has got it right, it's been good to watch.
