If he gets more than just a "competitive budget" he could do well for them..

Good luck to him I say... he never let Town down ( though maybe let himself down with the way he left us )

We didn't play that way at Palace. We had a man sent off and went very, very compact other than Mitch Rose man marking Zaha. At Chelsea, every player went man to man and it was a disaster.


I think Chelsea was the game where Jolley lost the players.

So one manager throws his keeper under a bus and the other loses the whole squad in London!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I was genuinely really excited about him after that Notts County game. Not only did we stay up but in that game we played some really decent stuff with a squad that didn't have much going for it and he hadn't put it together nor had long with it. I thought we might have stumbled on to someone who knew how to make a system around the players he had available at his disposal.

It all started to go south when we then spent all summer training for and practing to play with wing backs in pre-season games. Sounds great on paper but he'd not actually bothered to sign a single player capable of playing as a wing back. Cue a poor start to the season and from then we played really boring, defensive football. I can't remember how long it had been since we'd scored a goal when he eventually left but we were pretty terrible.

Good luck to him if he finds another club and thanks for keeping us up but ultimately don't think he has what it takes to make it professionally as a manager.


Last time we scored in a league game with him in charge was away at Stevenage then two blanks and then we scored in his last game in charge at home to Newport in the FAC

..... and for some inexplicable reason never played that way again and resorted back to the system that wasn't working in the first place. Think that the Exeter game and the way he never played that way again summed up his time here, and why he failed.

I can’t remember lovely football but I do remember Macca being MOM.

We played really well that day at Exeter- everything went through Robson and Hess in the middle, and Ogbu was a great link man up front. One of our games of the season. It was so frustrating that we didn’t keep that line up and style of play beyond that one match.

i suspect that you weren't among the 300 of us who were there (including my wife who is a completely dispassionate observer and said she'd never seen us play as well as that).........

see blundellpork's post

ps having said that i would agree with Mimma's post that i'm baffled as to why we never tried to play like that again
