Silvio Dante Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 4 minutes ago, Numero Uno said: Club is obviously on the wind-up. Well although as I said it wasn’t a car crash it didn’t imbue me with confidence or inspire. For buzzword fans we had a lot of emotion, several biggest bits and a cat and mouse. As ever, the most interesting section was Piercy. I think JP was trying to “lead” Liam a bit into opening out that he wasn’t necessarily the textbook must have possession coach he seems to be but Liams answer only reaffirmed that he is. He did kind of not really answer a question about fan unrest a bit and said again that the four losses were fine margins. JP did try and get him to open out on prior poor runs but he kind of didn’t answer that. If you wanted it to reinforce what you thought, it was an interview to do that. Not really worth watching for anything significant and not a car crash and after Monday, I think the club would take that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Naismith has made more appearances on Robins TV than on the pitch! Started 10 games this season after missing loads last season. Definition of not getting value on the pitch & someone we need to try and move on.

Undoubted quality but that counts for nothing if constantly out. Fed up with the bloke. At the end of the season he should donate a month’s wages to Zak & Rob Dickie, seeing as they’ve had to play virtually every game because he’s seemingly never fit. Cornick takes plenty of flak on here, but just like Anis, since joining he’s yet to miss a single game. He might not be the greatest but at least he’s available to play his part. If anyone is interested in taking Naismith off our hands this summer I’d snap their hand off. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Smyth Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Yeah - LM is not under any real pressure (following the win on Sunday), and JP presented him with a great opportunity to talk about (dare I say take some accountability for) the poor run beforehand, and he didn’t.

Before the Swansea game, Piercy gave Manning the opportunity (in not so many words but it was obvious what he was angling towards) to expand on his "1 bad performance in 20" comment and explain what "good looks like" to him in terms of a performance, because to Manning its obviously not just the result. Answer came there none. Just waffle, buzzwords, pre-programmed phrases, the usual "yeah, no, to be fair" cliches, all delivered in a robotic, personality free manner.

Any Championship club that are higher in the Championship table than us, particularly the top 6 or 7 are worth learning from. Manning openly admits that he’s learning all the time.

My simple view is that Southampton overcommit players and therefore counterattacks are not just on, but likely to be a good chance to create good opportunities. Swansea don’t overcommit / didn’t overcommit. Under Martin they did, but he’s not there. Even if Luke Williams has a possession based approach, he doesn’t bomb players on willy-nilly, they still stay in a good structure. And in staying in that good structure they are also well placed to press and win it back. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
