Surely it's what the players do on the pitch for the real matches that counts? There are plenty of players who can dance around in training and do fancy tricks with their eyes closed but it is a completely different thing to do it at 3:00 p.m. on a Saturday.

Come on Phil - let us see what Zaffo can do against Swindeo please (albeit from the bench I suspect).

its all to do with the new stadium build.
the more we can save on contractors costs the better , therefore every new player has a clause in their contract that they must pull up some trees in or around the training complex.
hope I've cleared it up for you.

Thanks. :thumbsup:I thought it might have something to do with the construction of the dome.

It must be a bit off putting having to play footie when there are a great number of trees all over the training complex. Really, we should be signing a lumberjack, shouldn't we?

Freddy Eastwood wasn't one to pull up too many trees in training, but wasn't too shoddy when it mattered.
 
you'd think that if you're trying to get into the team you should put a bit more of a shift in. And also know the manager - Phil Brown has said he wants competition for places so both indicate to me that Hines should know he needs to bust a gut to get in that team and stay there

Graft v craft perhaps?

Does a good manager take a good player (if the player is not good then why sign him?) and mould him to fit in the team or take a good player and let the player play freely to get the best out of him?

Or perhaps it just takes some liquorice squares, liquorice rounds, coconut rounds etcetera. Yes - all sorts.


It's good to start the new year with some managerial philosophy ................ :unsure:
 
He's on the bench today. Quite rightly (IMO) McGlashan takes the place of McLaughlin. He has been a bit unlucky not to be starting regularly
