    Haji Wright injury

    Good thing is he wasn’t on gas and air. the video they did of them all pronouncing their names correctly - but basically it’s the American accent and how they generally say certain vowels in names.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    That’s probably the best explanation of what he was trying to get across, but I still think some of it doesn’t make sense and is contradictory, and it is all rather convenient. washing his hands of any responsibility whatsoever.

    David Coote (Former Premier League referee)

    Always Liverpool though isn’t it? you should see their socials - people trying to identify every match of theirs he’s been involved in and then every decision that ultimately cost them a league title. Embarrassing. never a ref coming out saying ‘Villa were shit and Emery’s a c**t’ or anyone...

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    Personally I thought a few things still don’t make sense, around the coaching setup and applicants for #2/head coach and this is all MR’s fault etc I don’t think it was clear as to whether king is currently happy with it or not - he must be if he’s happy for them to continue while they find a...

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    Dean Austin coming across well I think. one thing I’d say, if we were sitting in top 6, even without the head coach appointment that apparently mark is responsible for, would he still have pulled the trigger. And also is he happy with the rest of the existing coaching setup?

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    We said to mark, you get in an elite assistant, we interview for them, they say they want the top job so they can’t get them over the line, so therefore it’s mark’s head cos he said he couldn’t work with Adi again?

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    Very odd to say you advertise for an assistant manager and the applicants come in, interview, and they say actually I want the top job not assistant. how’s that work?

    David Coote (Former Premier League referee)

    Man gets suspended for saying what everyone outside of Liverpool thinks…. Seriously though it’s not a good look is it, massively unprofessional. But those lads have done him dirty.

    Dovin

    Ah yes fair enough, but not from playing Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday. he’s probably en exceptional case given what others have said on his base level of fitness/robustness on joining the club.

    Dovin

    I have to say under this new regime, correct me if I’m wrong or missed anything, but we haven’t had any injuries this season that have been due to fatigue? So like muscle tears/strains/pulls? Which was one of the objectives. even in the case of Sheaf - his original injury was an impact one and...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Fair do’s - every day is a school day. it’s annoying me how it’s creeping in over here though - it won’t be long before Sky start using it on the football coverage.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Point I was making was the ridiculous thing Sky now do especially with NFL - the away team playing at the home teams ground….. Ravens @ 49ers etc. Even our own socials. Media channels did it for the Sunderland game. I was just developing the idea of the original post.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Who says Jody Morris is a fantastic coach? He’s currently unemployed and his last job at Swindon he was sacked from with a 22% win percentage. Did well in Chelsea Academy granted but if we’re going to compare then he’s got no different record and credentials to the coaches we’ve got currently.

    Let’s get this right, it’ll be “Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle @ Frank Lampard’s Coventry City”

    Haji Wright injury

    How it’s not broken I don’t know - but I reckon it’ll be ligaments so it’ll be weeks won’t it. Massive blow if so.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    For me, based on his record, even with Derby, then at this level he’s got nothing on Robins I don’t think. He lost that playoff final ultimately - couldn’t get them over the line. But you never know. He’s smart enough. I probably wouldn’t be unhappy I don’t think. I think Doug has got greedy...

    Maybe when Robins was talking about lowering expectations he wasn’t talking to us, and was actually talking to above 🤔

    Good intentions - poorly executed....

    And I think George was pretty highly thought of at Villa - apparently quite a few of his u23 team have made it thru to the first team - although I’m trying to find out who. and he was already doing something with Ghana - he left to focus entirely on it.

    Good intentions - poorly executed....

    Ok fair do’s Adi was at a much higher level and won stuff. Carr was also at Bristol city, wolves and also teaches on the uefa B course. but if we’re going on track record, how do coaches progress along a career path if they aren’t given opportunities at higher levels? I think DK has a big...

    Good intentions - poorly executed....

    question - what makes the coaches ‘sub-standard’ if they’ve got the requisite uefa qualifications to do the job? Perception of the players? Or just differences in the coaches methods themselves? just looked this up - both Adi and Dennis are uefa pro licence holders. George Boateng also has a...
