Isn't this the same poster who was demanding 4-4-2 last season when we were playing Hendrick in a 4-4-1-1?

ClaretTony

Howe had a full season in 2011/2012. We finished mid table below Watford who were managed by Dyche. The football under Howe was dull, one game that sticks in my mind was playing against 9 men at Brighton where just didn't do anything and scraped a 1-0 win. It was easy to set a team up to nullify us...

Im not convinced but stand to be corrected. As above though money guarantees nothing. Fulham this season show that. And loads of examples in the championship and even below (sunderland, pompey even Bradford back in the day). Money doesn't guarantee anything, but the fact remains he's had considerab...

According to some on here, he'll be no good if he talks sense.

Andingle wrote:You maybe confusing him with Lee Carsley?

Lee Carsley was caretaker boss too at Brentford for a while, prior to Dean Smith getting the job.

Stone was at Newcastle for five and a half years, from Jan 2010 to summer 2015, not sure what he's done since.

No, he meant two days ago when we managed more than one real effort on goal.

Huge compared to ours - we couldn't even begin to spend the sort of money they've spent since the Russian took over and Howe went back.

ClaretTony

He is not being judged over 12 games though. He is being judged over his entire career there over two spells. BOTH are doing fantastic jobs. Howe plays a style which is deemed as more entertaining though if you like attacking football with flair. To me, the art of defending can be equally interesti...

Not aware of him having been at Brentford to be honest

ClaretTony

Good luck to Steve, I hope that he is able to progress the players as he wants to. He certainly had a good work ethic as a player and will no doubt stress the importance of working hard to achieve any success. Don't know too much about him as a coach other than recalling him being in the dug out al...

Top four now
Jim Bentley (Morecambe)
Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe)
Eddie Howe (Bournemouth)
Sean Dyche (Burnley)

As CT says, very tough seeing Lenny struggle to walk on to the pitch, what a truly horrendous condition MND is :( The game itself was exactly what you wanted/expected. Super Glen still had some tricks in his locker, as did Robbie. Lee Trundle was ridiculously good, as was Britton and Robinson. Good...

Duff said he’d enquires about one player but been turned down. It’s not easy but if players are going out on loan we have to try and fit them in at the most appropriate level.

No confirmation but heard Duff wanted McNeil.

ClaretTony

Chakwana seems to score a few, I've obviously never seen him play - how far is he away from getting a loan at a league club ? Been suggestions of some going out on loan in Jan and he could be one. He’s certainly enjoying a purple patch just now. One player who I think is improving significantly is ...

I saw quite a lot of Burnley stuff in there and also a lot of Burnley fans paying their respects.

Very creditable point in Premier League Cup at Liverpool. Ended 1-1 and we had to play 55 mins with ten men after Jordan Cropper was sent off for handling on the line. Legzdins saved two pens, Chakwana got our goal.

ClaretTony

It was all slow motion and I think some of our pens were soft. Highlight had to be Paul Cook playing a poor ball to Micky Mellon. He laughed at him, waved to the crowd and walked off. We didn’t see him again until he walked back on at the final whistle. Lovely day but so difficult to see Lenny like ...

Planned to write it on his 100th a few months ago and then ended up rushing it this morning. I always likened him to Les Dawson. He would have you in stitches laughing while keeping a straight face.

Playing all season with an injury, had surgery again and this thread. Oh dear.

Smashing article about a man I used to see as a very young lad because he was a friend of my father. I never saw him play because he retired in the same year that I went to my first match at the start of the 1952-53 season and he became a coach. My dad always spoke very highly about him, both as a ...

Not sure what your implying but of course I was in the away section at Leicester! He was confused, as I was, when you wrote that you were at the side of the away fans, suggesting you must have been with the home fans.

One of the better ones, MD. That useless two hat Moss could do worse than watch some of Deans games. As could many other referees. He's the master when it comes to giving himself time to make a decision, allowing advantage better than any other ref. Only Martin Atkinson comes close to him. Someone ...
