Desperately seeking Nigel

Don't know how to post the link but a great track by 80's mod revival band the Long Ryders "Looking For Lewis and Clark" It was in my mind for the first 70 mins yesterday.

The Reed and Brunt together is a strange one at home....

I would like to see this at home

Pym
Bowery Flint Cargill Macca
Brunt
Lewis Clarke
Maris

DKD Akins

And when we sign the striker we're all crying out for?

How would your line up look then?

Depends what type of striker we sign broomo
If its an Akins type one then he sits out if its more DKD type then Maris misses out as DKD drops to CAM.

I'm hoping it's Gregory ,not a slight on Lucas but Gregory is a massive upgrade on him .

Lucas hold up play is pivotal to us as we all know but he just doesn't score enough.

Gregory does both way better for me.

He would be the player that takes us up in my view.

Perhaps Nigel went on Bishop Street side to check on the ground conditions on that wing.

So in second half deciding which wing would produce better attacking options.

Perhaps it turned out that conditions that side of the pitch were as bad as the West Stand side.

That makes more sense

Maybe moving the dugouts back over that side less abuse

Nail on the head. Like a previous manager did. The manager should be given every chance to do his matchday job properly. Nothing against fair criticism, but there is a right time and a right place.

[bigalstag1]

And what do you do when a stand is put up over that side, wheel the dugouts into the groundsman shed. I've never read as as much bs over such an hyped up nonsense. If there are problems behind the dugouts, then let the stewards sort it out. I would have thought the manager has more important things to deal with, other than hiding on the opposite side of the ground, to prove a point

[georgefostersbeard]

Are you saying that he was hiding over there to prove a point?

[mhs]

I think he was possibly trying to prove a point but not hiding.

Didn't appear to make much difference which side Nigel was watching.

First league game we lost at home this season so maybe it did !

[bigalstag1]

Better still , don't let anybody into the ground and the management won't hear anything. Club wouldn't last long though!

That’s a tad extreme

[Gruff]

Wow... the importance and influence some people think they have on management decisions and where they sit/stand is laughable.

He can do what he wants. Sit where he wants. Stand where he wants. He doesn't have to explain it to us.

If we'd won and he'd done that, would you be questioning it? or would you assume he's just a "mardarse" because he's scared of people's opinions who have no real experience/knowledge of managing a football team.

Christ on a bike !!!

[Sneag]

I suspect someone may have been called out about being a drunken arse and is over compensating a tad.

You are completely missing the point. The best place for him to be is in the dugout working with his team. Are you working age ? If so would you be as effective in your job a if someone was constantly slagging you off ? Would you welcome the distraction if you were trying to concentrate on sorting out a work problem ? Who would you blame if you messed up ?

[Ralphy]

Wouldn’t even be a thread if we had won the game, don’t really care where he watches the game from tbh

Obviously, if he is allowed no distractions.

Read a interesting piece on face book about how fans have not got a clue about the working behind the scenes of a football club.
Also i have read that when players cross that white line the manager has little control of the player and his decisions.
Another popular action in this modern era is communications via a link is accessible from all areas of the ground,
many pundits say you get a lot better view of the action from the stands.
I would have thought what happened in the first two minutes was not in any game plan.
If you had found Nigel he would have been Speechless any way

[SeanieStag]

Well it appears that we are trying to maximise our attendances with the news that for the County match flag bearers have to inform the club of their wish for tickets 3 weeks in advance of the match. The dugouts on the IG side cause a few seats to be put out of action so maybe the plan is to move them for the remainder of this season to enable those seats to be put back on sale. Maybe Clough was consulted about this and wanted to check out the impact for such a move. It looks like it’s become increasingly obvious to the CEO that the stadium isn’t big enough. There’s the trial of home fans back in the North Stand coming up as well. These are all short-term measures to solve the issue so I’m thinking a long-term solution will be started in the summer.

And here he is ….have you thought he may have just wanted a different perspective just as some Managers sit in the stand. Of course that’s too straightforward for you.
I’m sure you were delighted at the result on Saturday as you could post.
