Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

Feel a bit for Mark, with everything around the club it's not the ideal first stint in management and it probably wasn't a decent amount of time.

But it was probably the right decision. We weren't improving.

I just struggle to see who we attract at the moment. Will almost certainly be a short term appointment.

He just isn’t a manager, those team selections were weird.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

You're right. Morison brought in 17 players to change our playing style. It was a deliberate move away from the long ball football we'd had under Warnock, Harris and McCarthy. Last season Morison's side was much more direct. I assume there was some dialogue between Morison and the board about changing our playing style.

Going back to a different style needs different players. You can't just expect players to play a certain way because a manager wants that. To a large extent, how you play depends on your personel.

Getting this side to play a more direct, physical game is about as laughable and possible as getting Warnock's promotion winning side to play a more possession-type of football.

Whatever happens, we're stuck with the squad we have. Whoever comes in will have to work with what we have, including the style they play. It's not the type of football that's at fault

I agree that NW would be unsuited to this squad but saying the type of football isn’t at fault, I’m not so sure. It’s horrendously slow, we spend minutes ponderously moving up the pitch then all the way back again. This was the biggest time waste of today that hindered us throughout.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

In the final third, yes, agreed. Defensively we're ok.

Watch their equaliser again.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

Because the good times lasted two years and his bad years were still going long after he left. Why does this keep having to be explained?

Remind me again how many managers have got us promoted to the Premier League with free signings like Bamba, Hoillett and NML? But SOME people don’t want to remember that. Utterly laughable.

I’ll just leave it there.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I know. Wishful thinking more than anything.

I don’t for one second think Dyche would put up with Tans nonsense or Wilder for that matter.

Wilder was linked to Pompey recently, I think his spell at Boro has damaged his rep to an extent that I think we could get him. I wish we acted sooner and got him when we delayed sacking Mick.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

If I had the choice of Warnock until the end of the season or a choice arrived at by this board if left to their own devices I'd take Warnock every time.

With this board who knows who they would bring in?
Probably bring James Rowberry back or something.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I thought the first two years of warnock were immense

Swashbuckling , backs to the wall , us v the rest

Exactly the sort of football that stirs up ccfc fans even if some won't admit it

What you, and others don't get, is that we haven't got the players for that.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I wouldn't be negative as to what manager would consider this Job, maybe a novel way of seeing who's willing is to actually advertise the job and wait for the post. I would consider giving it to Colin for the remainder of the season and with the understanding that if he avoided relegation he's out all the same, it's been dire for years but its still I think an attractive job.

Maybe the current squad aren`t earning enough to be able to afford to pay Colin a slice of their appearance money if selected?

Maybe the agency employing his son don`t have enough available players on their books for him to sign if we are freed up from the transfer embargo to pay transfer fees?

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

This final 3rd thing. !!! We are shit at playing from back to front.

One of the main reasons we are poor in the final 3rd is we cant get the ball there quick enough. By the time we do opposition defences are behind the ball.

Utter nonsense. The reason we are poor in the final third is a lack of quality and a failure to get players into the box. You talk as if we forever got behind defences playing long ball and turned defences. In truth, teams defend deep against that tactic.

Yes, it's slow but that's the fault of the players and the way it is being implemented. There's a time for some slower, controlled passing. It's not generally around the penalty area. That's not the style of the game that's at fault.

Clough took a rag bag bunch at forest and got them up then made them champions

Kenny Burns was towards the end of his career and playing as a striker for Birmingham City when clough used him as a centre back

It's not as if all the players are one inch high and four foot wide and can only play on the wing

We have one of the better defensive records in the division, nobody has given us a hiding. We have the worst attack in the Championship.

Well, both Jason Perry and Ian Walsh on the Radio Wales phone-in have said the same as me. Perhaps they're wrong as well.

Ian Walsh gave a resounding "Good God, no" to the thought of Warnock while Perry strongly disagreed with even thinking about him.

Re: MARK HUDSON SACKED

I'd rather go for Ainsworth or Joey Barton than have Warnock back
