This place is horrible bordering on embarrassing yesterday and today.
Give it a rest.
Saint Nigel got it wrong yesterday.
He can’t admit it.
You can’t admit it.
No one is shocked at either of those.
All I do is say it as I see it. I'll leave it to folk like you to turn into a stupid personal issue.
All of this "Saint Nigel" stuff is as boring as it is daft. I just trust him more than you do to get it right more often than wrong.
I trust him more than me to get it right, but yet again you avoid the simple yes or no answer because you just can’t see past your “Saint Nigel” outlook.
Did he get the team selection and tactics right or wrong on Saturday, yes or no?
Go on you can do it.
Except it'a not a simple yes or no and the reality is I don't know the answer. We did however lose the game.
You can trot out this saint nigel raspberrys all you like but it changes nothing.
Would Harbottle and Maris have made the same mistakes if Macca was playing left back in a four? Would we have taken our chances if Hewitt or Gordon were playing right back?
No-one will ever know, not me, not you and not saint nigel.
There has been so much rubbish spouted this past few days that if I took notice and believed it all, we won't win a game all season as we've apparently got no defenders, no goal scorers, our players are going to get sent off every week, our manager is an idiot, the players should be picking the side based on how they feel training went that week, we haven't and won't sign enough quality, Quinns attitude stinks, Akins is only playing cos he's Clough's mate, Hawkins is a liability and folk hope Johnson (who doesn't play for us) scores boatloads of goals to teach Nigel a lesson and opposition scouts will be able to work out how to beat us every game.
All of this after one game that I'm fairly confident not everyone who has commented has even seen.
But to you, everything will be better if I, a forum poster with no more knowledge than any one else of how to pick or set up a side to win a game, blames the manager?
I'm flattered but you over estimate my skills.
