Easy 10
Brain dead MUG SHEEP
Mark McGhee has fired the first warning shot of his new reign at the Albion players who he feels have settled into a "comfort zone" at the club. McGhee, who picked up his first point as Albion boss in the 2-2 draw at Peterborough on Saturday, did not mince his words when questioned on the performance at London Road.
"I was encouraged at the spirit within the team to come back twice" said McGhee, "but frankly some of our play was appalling, and that has got to improve if we are to be serious promotion contenders this season". When asked to elaborate, McGhee went on:
"There are players here who have been playing week in week out, and from what I saw on Saturday, I cannae understand how they've held a place down. That welsh lad, Jones is it ? He was a pile a' pish. Dangles his leg over the ball and does a wee shimmy, but he couldnae find his own arse with both hands, let alone find a team-mate with a pass. I've got tae sort that left hand side oot and quick, cos that was bloody embarrassing".
McGhee clearly had some strong ideas about how to get the most out of the players. "I've seen this film called Braveheart, and I've picked up a few ideas from that aboot how we can improve as a team" he said. "We'll make spears, lots of them. As long as a man. Lay them doon in the penalty area, and as soon as we're under the cosh, Kerry, Guy and Danny can haul them up, and nayone will get through that alive". McGhee became visibly more animated at this point, and began frothing slightly. "Anyone coming to Withdean will be battered to a pulp, and anyone surviving that will be sent back tae England, stopping at every town and village to beg forgiveness for a century of theft, rape and murder. They can take away our points, but they can never take away OUR FREEDOM".
The interview ended there, as on hearing McGhee's cries, Martin Perry put his head round the door and asked Mark if he could "keep it down a bit", as Dick was having his mid-morning nap and he didn't want him all grumpy this afternoon as they were going to the park.
