That’s driving my OCD crazy with the middle row being uneven on both sides

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 2:16 pm**

In days of old I'd reel off the names without missing a beat. I must say I'm struggling with a few faces and that's before I get to trying to pronounce their names

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 2:17 pm**

Is Delacroix and/or Tresor there ??

Delcroix is at the left hand end of the middle row and Tresor is third from the right on the front row.

Must confess to thinking much the same, CaptJohn.

Be interesting if Trevor could post a squad photo from say the League Championship season of 1959/60 and see how many faces escape the memory.

Tresor looks happy

To be fair the whole right side look unhappy!

Totally agree.....Hard to believe it's been our training ground for some 70 years.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 2:56 pm**

We have a really weird mix of coaching staff.

All of the coaching staff sat on the bottom row looks like their heads have been badly photoshopped in

We were fortunate in that our back doorstep was literally on the the very edge of Gawthorpe.

It was great to wander down during the school holidays and watch them train.

Ray Pointer always said it was a pleasure coming in to train each day in such a beautiful setting.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 3:25 pm**

Does anyone know the names of the coaching staff apart from Scott Parker and Mike Jackson?

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 3:25 pm**

Great photo.

There was another picture of the academy kids at the Turf the other day as well. That was a good un also.

Jonathan Hill is Parker’s right hand man

Henrick Jensen is the dude we signed before Parker.

Eliot Tyebo is the set piece fella that Kompany left behind.

They’re all on the front row.

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 3:33 pm**

Is the new German Goalkeeping coach there ?

Agree it’s a beautiful setting.

If we get promoted again I’d have nothing against us going with the squad that got us up and investing any premier league money in that fantastic facility to keep it a world class facility.

Just a mix of coaches from basically different eras.
Few of Kompanys rejects, one he signed and then left before he'd arrived. Jackson who came under Dyche and maybe 1 or 2 of Parkers. Quite unusual I think

Perhaps better than a total clear out every time a manager leaves, at least it's a bit of consistency, seems to be working at the moment

Aye, a little bit of stability wouldn't go amiss now for a few years. It isn't sustainable having so much turnover

Posted: **Fri Oct 11, 2024 4:04 pm**

Some buggers tied Beyers boots together. No wonder he’s always injured.

Just be grateful that they don’t outnumber the playing staff anymore

Trafford looks a big lad. Recall there being questions about his height.

Also Worrall significantly taller than both Ekdal and Beyer, which I wouldn’t have expected (certainly the discrepancy with Ekdal).

Green looks a big lad too.

Brilliant photo. Always loved collecting the squad photos.
But do agree with Wilks. Balance the photo. That middle row

My big gripe though. Our colours are awful!

Trafford isn't his billed 6"6 though.

Beyer looks like he’s put a bit of timber on I presume due to his lack of mobility.

He was here last week - but the club have never confirmed his appointment and haven't included him on the staff list on the official site.

Traff an inch taller, I’d say? Or same height if you include hair

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2024 6:31 pm**

It's shoulder height that matters.
A dwarf with a 3 foot long head wouldn't be much use

I can see grass between Trafford and your ruler which may or may not be straight.
Green still looks taller to me

Promise you I set the ruler at 0 degrees

Although I can’t guarantee the photographer took a perfectly straight photo I suppose…
