Mr Grey 676 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 He deserves his own thread. Success or Failure? For me: Success, law of averages, we are due a good un, FV have the right man 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me: Success, law of averages, we are due a good un, FV have the right man 👍 Considering we've only had one manager since our move to middlebrook who you would describe as successful, I reckon you're right. I'm not including Todd as he was here before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy 1,035 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Not getting too excited but I’m looking forward to a clean slate and I like the cut of his jib Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kent_white 1,221 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Sounds impressive in that pod cast. Clean break with the past which I'm pleased about and a new era. Interested to see how the Director of Football thing works out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

famouswanderer 133 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If he comes out with "brand evatt" after a one nil defeat at home to Morecambe this place is going to go fucking nuts 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tombwfc 151 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Truthfully, he's much more likely to be sacked by November than he is to have us romping the league scoring three a game. But I like him and like what FV are going for. As long as he doesn't disappear up his own arse and start calling us philistines after a 0-0 home draw with Grimsby I'll back him.

Site Supporter Ratwhite 132 Posted July 2, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2020 He needs the players to do the job. He can't touch any of his Barrow lads... Still a very tough job on his hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Breightmet Boy 405 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 apparently his nickname is 'Evo' at Barrow. Well as long as he sticks out the job in hand and adheres to the rules we'll be fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desperado 131 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 He’s got a presser at 10. Let’s hope Iles gets some good info from him. I’m particularly interested to hear whether he fancies any of the out of contract lads and whether deals will be offered to the likes of Crawford, Matthews, Emmanuel, Zooma etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brockbank, Delaney, Zouma That ain't so bad for a start but would definitely want one or two adding for more experience as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, think Zouma is 22 or 23 now, so not exactly a scholar but attacks the ball, just needs a good pairing or a good trio with Evatts preferred formation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He struggled quite a lot last year with positioning and the speed of things, I suppose it's hard to judge the lad based on the conditions of last year but he didn't show as much promise as some others.

Delaney is that ugly he should be able to scare the opposition to death! I reckon Evatt will aquire 2 centre backs at the very least.
