boltonboris Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 It could well be that Craddock was sniffing blood and wants the job himself. As good a reason as any to flirt him. But again, pure speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted September 16 Moderators Share Posted September 16 recall when IE took over and he talked about being an old school manager with modern values and he was going on about all his "non-negotiables" like running off the pitch at half time I've no doubt in his mind the way we play is non-negotiable so if he does stay then course the changes will come elsewhere, captain, coach, whatever we'll still play it out from the back against Reading and they'll just do what Huddersfield did and pile on the pressure guy is too set in his ways to make big changes and right now it feels like we need big changes so if he does stay, will be intrigued to see what he does to fill this squad of players back up with the confidence in both him and themselves that they clearly need and if he does stay, what does the final straw actually look like?

VividDreamer Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 11 minutes ago, Johnnyrotten said: One win in 8 home games with some very winnable fixtures. Two wins in the last 10 away league games (1 of those thanks to the Orient keeper). I think there's a misconception about how poor we've become. Folk are still talking like we win games routinely, what's it based on? Beating a decent team like Reading seems like a pipedream with this squad and manager. I'd take mid table all day long, IMO we are in a bottom half battle if IE stays. the same squad and manager that finished 3rd last season?

And its not the same squad, and the tactics have changed (eg even less physicality as IE stated on Saturday). I'm not basing this on opinion, just facts, nobody has to take any notice. I'm just saying as a BWFC fan I'd take mid table this season all day long, because its hard to see results suddenly taking a significant upturn based on how its been last 20 games or so.

masi 51 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 39 minutes ago, Lt. Aldo Raine said: I think it might be more likely we pick up a few good results - the run of fixtures over the next few matches is, on paper, about as easy as it gets - but then the problem reoccurs when we come up against the bigger hitters and we end up back in the situation we're in now only with more of the season eaten up Exeter at home is as easy as it gets!!!!!

Moderators Zico Posted September 16 Moderators Share Posted September 16 "It is not yet known whether any replacement staff will be sought." when we appointed Crainey "The appointment of Crainey is understood to be the first of a few tweaks behind the scenes designed to improve life on the training ground, with improvements also being made to the first team pitches and gymnasium this summer." Evatt explained the decision to bring in his former Bloomfield Road team-mate: “After some pretty lengthy reviewing of the season, we have a clear plan and idea of how we want to improve things on and off the pitch and this appointment is in addition to what we already have. I think now as a staffing structure we've got all boxes ticked," he said. “In the review of every season you think about how we can improve, how we get better and what are we missing in terms of our staffing skill set. and then 5 games in we're trimming the team rather than making wholesale changes ok let's see if it works then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t go out again without being ripped apart by PNE fans. They really turned against him, so much that a similar poll to ours had 90% wanting him to go.

Lostock Whites Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Absolute mess. I'm all for being against chopping and changing managers but with context this does not make any sense at all. We've been poor since January and he's exhausted every and any single tangible excuse known to man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 A terrific mistake. I will never get to the point of wanting our failure and will bow to anyone should he turn it around. But I simply know he'll change f'call. He doesn't believe he should, he doesn't believe we can & doesn't see why he should. 14 wins in 41 for a club in need of promotion. Two near-breakdowns and chucking everyone under the bus bar himself ... including the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
