That's why his choice of assistant manager is important.

Breaking News Brown and back room staff sacked.

isn't good cop bad cop a bit 1970s?
Theres plenty of ways of applying discipline without being that "type". Brown we are led to believe was a monster to players, yet we are meant to have had a discipline problem.
First step is to not sign players like Ranger...
Possibly, yes, but it was noticeable since the turn of the year that RM has :-
a) Been looking at alternatives
b) Making decisions about normally managerial things, or things that at least a manager would have a say so in

just on that specific point about Chris Powell - the impression I get (from very far away) is that he's a nice guy but no mug. He wouldn't have got as far in football as he has by being a mug. I think we probably need to sort the atmosphere out and some some structure as well as discipline. We have been playing a long way below ourselves and there are probably many ways to try to remedy that

Well said that man!!! This is the last place we need “keyboard warriors” slinging out any abusive stuff. We can all voice whatever opinions we like, no matter how extreme or bizarre, but hopefully while maintaining a basic level of courtesy. From what I can gather, this is regarded as one of the better fan forums......let’s keep it like that?

I'm surprised that all the "fitness staff" have kept their jobs -one thing we haven't been this year is fit. The one who does deserve a medal though is Ben Clarkson who has had the unenviable job of trying to get them repaired and out for action again.

Just to let you know they don't break anyone's leg, pull a players hamstring or cause any previous and long term conditions. Their job is to repair the likes of Coker, Turner's and Kightly after their injuries.
Anyone who has ever played football at any level will tell you even once your playing it takes time to get match fit. Players like Lenny, Demy and Wright have all looked fit because they had been regulars.

We have several older players with pre-existing injuries/conditions. Whilst they have undoubted quality and experience, their fitness levels are poor. Nothing any "fitness staff" can do. The likes of Ben Coker who sustained an injury whilst playing, have been treated well and recovered in very good time.

Fitness , as in physical ability to play, is different to the Fitness the team are there for. That "Fitness" is all about stamina, speed conditioning , body fat etc and totally unrelated to injuries etc , unless the injury is an over use injury , which I would hold the training regime accountable for.
Of course the manager hurry a player back from selection out of desperation , who may then break down in a match because he is "fully fit" .
