Ghost of Clough Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Unless Shackell gets fit for Saturday we might see Brayford at CH and Croft at RB Or we might play Riggott? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Or we might play Riggott? He's injured, got a sore Achilles. Not due to start training again until next week. Clough said so last night after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Chris Jones? He's a left back. Played centre half when we ran out of them in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curb Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Lee Croft? If we can stick him in central midfield we might as well chuck him in at center half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Lee Croft? If we can stick him in central midfield we might as well chuck him in at center half If we have to shuffle about it will be Croft to RB and Brayford to CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curb Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 yeah I know, there was a (serious) suggestion on here last night that Croft should play Center Mid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 No there wasn't it was said as we had maguire in there last night croft would work up and down harder than maguire who pretty much just played up top thus there was only Pearson in midfield. It was said there was no one else as hendrick, Bryson and Bailey couldn't play so who else could have gone in there so we said kilbane or even croft may have sone better. clearly what clough did last night worked though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RotherhamRam Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Don't get me wrong I like Cywka BUT He however does put his head down with the ball does not lift his head up to look for a pass until the pass that was on has gone. He runs into blind alleys and loses the ball where he shouldn't. I know some will say he tackles to get it he puts effort in and I am not disputing this fact. BUT Anyone who played football as a kid are told let the ball do the work. Instead of pass and move he likes to dribble there. A number of times where there is the opportunity to pass inside, then beat his man through the return ball and a cross goes in early is wasted because he does not look for the simple movement. Once he has developed that then he has to be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadbelly Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 i love threads like this where a bunch of folks who are not football managers and have probably never met the players on our team, never mind worked with them every day, describe how they, in their infinite wisdom, would do things differently to Nigel Clough who IS a football manager and who DOES work with the players every day. Funnier than a Black Adder Christmas special. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 But this is real life, not Championship Manager. You would not last a day boy. Is it deemed ridiculous if you think that you could? Although i'll have to give it about 15 years, not many players would listen to a 20 year old Nigel has done a decent job with us. Not oustanding, but decent. I'm happy with him in charge, even if i'm a little peturbed by the amount of injuries we constantly pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Also i doubt many of us could do much worse than our Nigel. I could. Much worse. A few years back I coached ice hockey junior team for a few years. Played some as a kid but what I always wanted was to coach. Since I was ten or so I read every damn book about coaching I could find. Not only ice hockey also football, basketball, sports psychology, anything that could make me a better coach. I got myself to coaching courses that was meant to people that already had coached. I noticed that I did pretty well in that group. In theory. Then I started as an assistant coach. Every day I learned something new, every day I came better as a coach and every day I felt more stupid as I started to realize how much more there was still to learn. I got to coach alongside with a coach who had highest professional coach degree. The knowledge of the guy was amazing, simply amazing. One big problem in coaching is that you know what the team should do with and without the ball, puck, whatever but how you get all the guys to do it the way they should. I´m happy that I ain´t Nigel.
