Just seen Clough's post match interview on Quest, what a prat.

Good managers keep stuff like that in-house.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?â€

Hewitt is a terrible fullback & an even worse midfielder , he had his best spell for us at centre half that's where clough should play him or shut his mouth up


Couldn't agree more. He was particularly awful in central midfield. No vision at all and no technique. He was woeful at right back and did okay as a stopper at centre back only by keeping it simple, head and kick as he can't do anything else. Vernam will slaughter him every day at right full back and apparently did exactly that. I miss Charles Vernam, I understand we may have been able to sign him for 50k a few weeks ago. He's in the Bradford side now and would be insane in all honesty to drop to non league, there is a championship player in there IMO.

Technically you might be right but it's a huge step up in fitness and I don't think he could handle those physical demands.

It's no surprise for me to see Burton flying high in League One. Against Scunthorpe the other week substituted players were doing weightlifting at the side of the pitch. Hasselbaink has definitely worked them hard physically but some players just can't push their bodies to that limit.

Clough is bang out of order

Not sure what he hopes to achieve making those statements in public.

If a player plays badly he probably knows it. And as a professional would expect criticism from his boss. But those are said behind closed doors.

End of the day Clough signed the player selected him to play and set the team up. While Clough is calling out performances he should start by looking in the mirror.

Hewitt joined to work for Clough I recall. I was disappointed to see him go, early in the season and so he has time to sort it. As pointed out for us he was a great center back but poor in other positions.
One of the hardest personal attacks I have seen on an individual and he will need to get back in the good books quickly utm

Hewitt is the best CB we have had for a long time. excrement everywhere else.
Should kick open Clough's door on Monday morning and punch him in the face.
IMO  


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Well - I can see that Town fans think highly of Elliot Hewitt at centre back for us - so why don’t GTFC try to get him back on Monday morning (on loan)?
Think Town offered him a new deal - but declined? Forgive him - will pay us back with interest (is my judgement).

A centre back with some pace and a goalscorer is what we’re missing.
