Fully agree with you Party, LCFC should hang on to him for the next three years, and fight tooth and claw if any big club like Chelsea or Manu or Man City (or AC Milan?) try to snaffle him and backroom team. There I've said it!
When NP was revealed as manager, I posted that I did not think it was a good move, but I warmed to him, or should I say to the way we went about things on the pitch. But he was sacked at Southampton as they believed he could not take them further. Now it is possible to see that whilst he was a steady eddie, his style of play is flawed. Too much midfield and defence and not enough attack. Billy Sharp is not right for any team that is not committed to attacking play.
That's it is a nut shell Craig, good post. Interesting NB has already sused out that Brady's best position is probably in the hole, rather than on the wing.
Pure gold, pure sucking gold He comes on our board (after Dutch asks us not to trespass) talks ****e and then throws his teddy out !!
I just finished reading this thread right now. Danger Fox's comment is hilarious, it had me in stitches.
NP only found out, eventually, by accident - when McKenna and Cairney (?) were out and he had to play Koren in the centre.
I remember that at least three/four posters were pointing out about Korens central position being critical to his play, weeks and weeks before NP had to put him back there. Seems strange that a professional football manager had to find out the hard way. I know he was trying to get the best out of others, but it was pretty obvious that Koren was such a class player that you did everything possible to supprt his best play.
The Burnley game wen he threw Dudgeon on and we had two confused left backs neither knowing who was playing where, and then we conceded 3 goals.
In time he will be. Dudg by his own admission needed a break. At the moment he is a great weapon off the bench. Dawson is doing well as he has Dudg breathing down his neck.
The panic had already set into the game prior to Dawson coming on. But yes they did get in each others way. But thats was not Nicks fault. Basic errors all over the pitch cost City that game in the end. imo.
