Criticism of C1871 always comes largely from the same voices. It's the same people who somehow felt threatened by fans trying to do something positive in setting it up, and opposed it from the beginning. Who regularly lobby for it to be closed down any time something isn't perfect, with the same arg...

I guess Fraser/craig for me is a good example of the issue. No problem at all with Fraser, solid player and good stats. But he has been pretty average overall and Hunt didn’t know where to play him and was largely benched. If Brogue is telling the truth on a fallout then maybe an attitude issue as ...

Does anyone know anything about his footballing style? What are we looking at here, big strong lads, difficult to beat? Fast paced, short passing? Direct, attacking play? Many managers fail because they attempt to introduce their own style of play / formation. Rather than look at the players at the...

Royalcop Sam Smith hooked at HT

Not happening for him this season. Maybe a loan to a div1 side in Jan would do him good

He's not even remotely a Championship player and we completely mugged them.

It probably was more chaotic because of circumstances too. In 2023, Bowen and Carey told us all in April they had 2 target lists drawn up, one for the Championship and one for L1. Then the players recruited were really well suited for the manager too. Here Couhig and co got the keys in May, at the ...

Quite surprised. Horrendous at Rotherham and correct me if im wrong but didn't he have an overpowered squad to work with to get Wigan out of League One? Weird given the other possible names. I'm sure Couhig et al see something in him I don't, and obviously know infinitely more than I do about him, ...

We made plenty of signings. Just not the right ones. Not Couhigs fault - JJ/Hunt/Carey must take responsibility there As I’ve posted before, and maybe I’m naive, but I assume at well-run clubs planning for the transfer window and identification of potential replacements should we lose key players w...

Brogue

genome He lost 18 games out of 24 as Rotherham manager?

He'll fit right in

Careful you’re not allowed to criticise the club or appointment or ian will tell you to grow up.

No you're allowed to criticise, you just get called out if you act like a baby.

Anyone know Dellor able to do a welfare check on him?

That last paragraph...

Grow up Brogue.

I mean, it isn’t particularly cultist to believe the owners, privy to 99% more information than the average fan while wanting pretty much the same thing in terms of success, might sign a decent candidate. If that’s Leam Richardson, fine. I get that what the owners want/can spend doesn’t always alig...

Brogue christ, you lot really have been brainwashed by Couhig haven't you? this is a disaster of an appointment - the cheapest available option. We are now in a very real battle against relegation. He will be gone by February/March

The only one being brain washed is you, by your mate at the club.

Obvs this is selective and can’t give the full picture but scanning round some YouTube highlights from Wigan in 21/22 lots and lots of crosses and headed goals. Quite a few long shots as well Certainly from the 5 or 6 I watched it wasn’t tippy tappy or trying for through balls. Charlie Wyke, then W...

I think Google AI has said he likes physical, direct football which people are also beating him up about, but in his own words he likes teams to dominate possession. If even the AI is accurate I’ve no particular issue with this. I think we’re way too lightweight at the moment, esp up front. But it’...

From Despair To Where? Well, apparently Couhig's worse than Dai......

He's going to do much more damage to the club than Dai, he'll be the one responsible for destroying it... remember that pre-takeover?

Madness

Tbf it’s a decent read and can see why we might be interested in him Really good insight there papes. Nice work mate :wink: To be fair, there's a lot in there that's positive and if he's the man, suggests that some thought has gone into the appointment. I think the whole thing being about what a ba...

Even SJM acted when it wasn't working. Remember Rodgers? Although Rodgers got ~22 league games, not 14, and had us firmly in the bottom 2 and absolutely clueless, losing a lot. And no history of success with us. And had spent a lot of money. And reportedly just demanded more money to fix things in ...

Brogue the sooner these grifter owners sell up and fcuk off the better. They are destroying the club. Things are worse than under dai....Bring back dai,all is forgiven.

Couhig out

You're crazy brogue.
