    Rushworth or Wilson

    Dovin was a bit suss at times last season. Turning to Doug’s words a few months back about developing loan players on behalf of other clubs, one could tolerate allowing a 22 year old that was on a permanent contract to have some “he’ll learn from it” moments. If Rushworth is a loan player, who...

    You really aren’t the arbiter of what is or is not embarrassing. It’s an opinion. Are you 12?

    Rushworth or Wilson

    I I agree. He’s a howler in him. But I just think he is a bit more on his toes / vocal / spots a breakaway opportunity and bowls it out quick / does a bit of shithousery. HAS A GOLDEN GLOVE TO HIS NAME. Little things like that, you know….

    Rushworth or Wilson

    Trying to think of decent keepers we had under Oggy influence:??:? Kirkland? Westwood? Joe Murphy? Marosi (pre having his head kicked in)? Genuinely don’t know how that stacks up because I also remember Fabian Debec. Scott Shearer. (Shudders). Pile in. Who was / is the better GK coach?

    Rushworth or Wilson

    I’m not claiming to be any kind of ITK but I was told by a credible party that Oggy’s stature within the club upset some of the SISU lanyard wearers and they were desperate to get rid of him to stamp their mark. The stalling block was the redundancy pay - transferred under TUPE so for a 60 year...

    I’d agree if it were teaching Simms how to run channels. It’s one day a week passing on some tips from the sidelines I was suggesting. Plus, he’s 67. Like, under the retirement age for the Uk now, I think. Have a biscuit.

    Great. Alex Ferguson was winning stuff at 72. It’s goalkeeping. Not sure the fact that Oggy probably smokes a hundred a day and needs a zimmer (satire, Oggy) stops him passing on his wisdom about setting up a wall and where to stand for a corner.

    Rushworth or Wilson

    I know I’ll get the usual shoulder biters ranting in reply but I don’t understand why we didn’t get Ady back to work with Lampard and his ex-Chelsea crew and why Oggy isn’t given the chance of at least helping out. Blah blah.

    Get Oggy back. Hold on you cloud shouters…. He’s got to be worth going in one day a week to do a bit of extra goalkeeping coaching. The bloke spends his time now watching CCFC and he’s a legend and called the equaliser bang on.

    We cannot defend set pieces

    To be fair, ex players never work. M Doyle didn’t help us out of the basement. Ex managers never work either. Robins was a failure. Hyam was sold to pay for the pitch. Kinda. He’d be a useful squad player. Just my opinion.

    We cannot defend set pieces

    Is Dom Hyam worth a sneaky bid at? At least we’d have an ITK back in the forum (ducks for cover, laughing)

    We cannot defend set pieces

    Definitely. The coaches need to be working with Rushworth, who clearly is struggling with set piece set-up. Moreover, how long before opposition teams identify that we can’t defend set pieces and gameplan around that?

    In the spirit of “we are all Cov fans”: I’ve been very impressed with how Gyok got a new agent who then furthered his career. Gyok could have signed for a mid / low prem team; maybe be bench-warmed. Gyok’s agent got him to a team where he could bang goals against normally L2 defenders and then...
