Whitehead's team?

Re: Whitehead's team?

He probably did mean the coaching team, but he really doesn't need the board to tell him that Saturdays game is important

He doesn’t but I’m sure the board understand the league is much more important than the cup. It might’ve been just a gentle request not to play the first XI and tell them to go all out just to get a good result in his first game.

Which is fair enough I think.

Re: Whitehead's team?

should there ever be a match which is not important to a professional football club?

I was thinking that as I wrote the post.
May be we should ask Vinnie, Mehmet and Ken

Re: Whitehead's team?

probably subbed because he'll be on the bench on Saturday.

I've not seen anyone saying he should be the first name on the team sheet, where are people getting this from?

Colwill is in danger of acquiring the nickname "tampon" - in for one week and then out for the next three

I think he means it was so important that last night does not matter. Which is probably why Sang, Bagan, Simpson and Sawyers stayed on as they've got no chance of being involved on the weekend.

At least they serve a purpose. I might call Jack Simpson the chocolate fireguard.

I'm surprised at you here. There have been a number of posters saying we should be building a team around Colwill, especially around the time Morison was in charge. I'm sure it was you that was pointing out Morison had given him more 90 minutes than any other manager he'd had, which is probably true. I've said before on here that when Colwill was in the Academy squad that won the league he only started 12 games that season and was subbed in 10 of them. Bellamy said a while back that he's very talented and he would have played him more but he had to protect him because of his growth spurts. Plus ca change.

I enjoy the threads about him. He divides opinion and it's going to be interesting to see how things pan out for him from here.
