Browns not good enough. Maybe he will be ok cover in L1.
I have no idea why weve turned down offets.
My hope in Moore saving us wanes by the match, about as bad as anyone at the moment. Yes we don't create much but I thought the boro no. 9 showed up our strikers, did more holding the ball up and winning loose balls this afternoon than ours have all season.
They should do the basics yes, but they get criticised if they don't so there's no harm in giving credit when they do, even if it is like you say just basics (I agree BTW they should)
I'm not a fan of brown anywhere out wide and don't think he's our level at centreback either, squad player maybe until we are able to get better, but he's still at an age where he can improve as well, maybe with a bit better coaching and advice off senior players he can be a little better.
Brown was hopeless today and has been every time I’ve seen him play, he’s had plenty of chances. The other players Bob listed were not very good today or recently but have played well in the past so you hope they could possibly re -find that form, nothing I’ve seen from Brown suggests he can perform in the Championship, that’s not scapegoating him, just pointing out his limitations.
I'm wondering if there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.
In an interview with Mehmet Dalman on Radio Wales this lunchtime that Vincent Tan still calls the shots. When asked about having a director of football at the club, Dalman said he was in favour but the decision of whether that would happen is down to Tan. I wonder how much meddling Tan still does at the club and whether this has been a factor in McCarthy's actions in recent months.
I struggle to think of McCarthy as a manager who is as inept as he's demonstrated in recent weeks and I have no doubts that we're not as bad as we have been recently. I wonder if McCarthy had been promised some cash in the summer after doing so well last season, but that never materialised. Instead he's been told to use the kids instead. Some of his actions, such as playing 5 at the back, have been directed at the club hierachy. The double substitution that was never going to work was a definite Robin Friday salute to the board. The swiftness of his departure suggested he was ready to go.
Warnock was a wile old manager who knew who to praise at the right time, even if it was totally false praise. McCarthy is the opposite and says it as it is. He knows that we're a basket case of a club at board level and he'd had enough.
I'd love to hear what McCarthy made of his time with us, but I guess that will never happen and there will be agreements about silence made.
A week or two back I watched the post match presser he did after the Sheffield Wednesday 5-nil-er. He was asked what would happen if he can't turn it around and playoffs are absolutely dead in the water...he said if that happens I'll have to start playing some of the kids with a view to next season. I don't believe he was promised cash in the summer and he was saying as such often at the close of last season.
I can draw an analogy with work here. For 20+ years I’ve worked for a Japanese company, with a Japanese MD. The MD does a 5 year stint & then returns to Japan. The MDs until 2019 have been excellent, stood back & let the local management team run the business, very successfully. The new MD is totally different, works in isolation, rarely consults the local team and has alienated them, with the results going through the floor.
This is how I see Tan working, as a dictator Asian MD, working in isolation with little understanding or empathy for the business he’s running and therefore incapable of making the right choice on management,
So when he was good it was due to good players around him.
but he's bad is down to him?
That is bollocks.
If he had decent service, he'd be banging in goals, but MM's tctics left him isolated.
Anyone's form would drop under those circumstances.
If our new boss gets the team playing proper football and he gets service, his form and therefore goal count should improve.
