BSA used to say players needed something extra to do well here as well as on the continent. I'm sure physicality and heart must be factors.

I suppose if you know you're always going to be second choice behind Shearer it doesn't start you off on the best foot. PL was pretty strong across the board around those years though so it can't have been easy to come into for any players. Late 90s to mid 00s PL was ace. Probably quite biased saying that though 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about last year but in 2020/21 under Valerian Ismael, when they got to the play offs, they were all about physicality, long throws, in your face football. Obviously it worked for him there, and failed at WBA last season. Last year Barnsley had an unknown Austrian upto November then an unknown (to me) Swedish-Iranian till April so who knows what style they ended up with!

They've got Peacock Farrell and Wayne Hennessey (assuming they're still under contract?). If they don't want either of those I'd be happy for them to come here. Trafford isn't going to be first choice in the championship at 19 surely, and no point going there to be 2nd or 3rd choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley are on their way down He could be a poor manager but still get promoted, thanks to having a better team/budget than the others, potentially. Scott Parker got 2 promotions in 3 seasons, does anyone know if he's the real deal or would anyone have got Fulham and Bournemouth up? Can't be compared to the achievements of a Wilder or Cooper, but he'll probably get more plaudits if he succeeds, hopefully he doesn't.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted June 15, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2022 Rovers fans trying to convince themselves they've got a top quality manager is comical. Massive upgrade on Mowbray etc. Yeah, yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
