New Appointment

[The Lone Gunman]

who knows if it'll be a good or a poor appointment

It’s like putting a rotating bow tie on a dead clown.

[Jimmy the Jock]

Reading between the lines I feel strong support for this appointment

[Pedro de la Rosa]

who knows if it'll be a good or a poor appointment

If he's mates with Riza and has only worked in youth football, the chances are it isn't a great one...

Chooses the dressing room 'mood' music I'm led to believe.

This made me laugh. Thank you.

Just read, Shaw was the player fouled
by Cantona. That led to Eric's sending off and hence to karate kit.

So it looks like Riza's here til at least the end of the season however the next few games pan out. Not sure I think this is wise - the desperate state the team is in all options should remain on the table..

Where will it end? Where will it end?

I was thinking the same. Couldn't Riza do with someone with more experience of coaching at this level, like Plymouth have done with Mike Phelan?

It will be interesting to see how much Phelan does improve them, he's coached top-level and should help Rooney them improve.

On the plus side a defender, so hopefully he can stop us from conceding two goals a game and work on something to defend a lead and stop the panic and late goals conceded.

Sometimes you just need someone you know and trust to help you out, as another pair of eyes and someone to discuss changes with.

I think the appointment of Phelan at Plymouth might get them out of trouble as he'll improve their defence.

Tan clearly doesn’t rate purse, whose our under 21 coach I see they are top of the league…..

[MacAdder]

Christ give him chance

With this lot at the helm even HE would struggle

[B. Oddie]

What a farce.

Well that’s a bloody good start, he’s gone to the wrong ground.

[NinianKnight]

Expecting Bristol Rovers to name Brighton Under-18s manager Inigo Calderon as their new manager.

The 42-y/o Spaniard was sounded out as the best candidate for the job

apparently this fella was on Cardiff's radar not so long ago

I take it he turned us down.....

[NYCBlue]

Some may say I'm being too negative but on the face of it its a pretty poor appointment for our number 2. Considering how poor the coaching staff is.

Apart from a brief spell with Canada on the coaching staff for a couple of weeks looks like he has only done youth football since 2013?

He's obviously friends with riza but I can't say I'm thrilled Watford youth coaching set up is now our first team set up.

He's a coach. How can you say with any confidence whether or not this is a poor appointment? He may very well turn out to be, but give him a chance first.

[tforturton]

I wonder how much influence Shaw had in today's result?

None, unless he's picking the side and formation.

Are you saying that there's no likelihood of the new assistant coach having been in the ear of Riza and putting forward suggestions that might benefit the way we play?

In four working days, i would say that it's unlikely. Obviously i can't be certain though. Shaw wouldn't even know all of the players names yet.

So couldn't be ruled out.
I don't think he needs to know their names at this stage.
