Wilkins and tactics

[Trigger]

I disliked the way he was put in place by DK knowing he was there to get rid of MM and Bob Booker.

But you can't blame Wendy for that or wanting to further his managerial career, surely by that reasoning it's DK you should be hating no?

I criticised DK for it at the time. Wilkins (he hates being called Wendy btw) knew what he was doing and that makes it as bad in my eyes.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Even though the previous manager didn't?

well he did for a while, but to be honest after some of McGhee's signings, I am not surprised there were reservations with giving him more cash.

So your dislike of Wilkins is purely down to the fact that he replaced McGhee?

So he should have turned down a promotion that McGhee had agreed to, as they were scared of losing Wilkins to another club.

You know it isn't. You've already quoted another situation. That's as far as I prepared to discuss it.

At the same time the Blackburn incident was a blip, he has not really slated players in the press since.

It does seem getting at Wilkins because he is not McGhee is a bit much.

Whether he likes being called Wendy or not I really couldn't give a flying fart, I was a young lad when I watched him play and that was what people named him then and that's what I'll name him now, I'm sure he won't be too upset by someone he hardly knows calling him that... I'm just astonished you have had it in for someone since day one for wanting to further his career and can't forgive him for that yet you quickly forgive the man that put him in that position?

That's your slant on it, not mine.
I didn't like Taylor either. I did like Adams and Coppell.
Do we all have to have the same opinion? Shall I ask permission from you for the next manager to like or dislike? Remind me when we next change.

Have I? Does forgiveness come into it?

Most people give the manager some time (even I did that with McGhee), but to have it in for the manager from day one is not really on.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Getting back to tactics, as reid wasn't coping in midfield I would have swapped him with El Abd and added some much needed bite to the midfield.

Go and pick on Uncle Spielberg instead.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Looking at the bigger picture, I'm a fan of Wilkins and feel he has been severely hampered by the players he's lost. However, yesterday, he simply didn't have any tactics, and what is even more disgraceful is that we didn't seem to WANT to win the game. He should be absolutely embarrassed that HIS team can go onto a football pitch and play like they did. At the end of the day, the buck stops with him, and yesterday his performance was like that of the team: non-league.

To be honest it seemed all week that Brighton just assumed they would be in round 4, players and fans and that Mansfield would just roll over.

I mean even the comments about players mucking around to find out who was the best choice to go in goal if Kuipers got a knock seemed ill timed, is that really something you should be saying days before a massive game?

 

[Questions]

Remembering that Wilkin`s nickname is Wendy because he jumped out of most tackles I now know why he accepts Jake Robinson doing the same in every match.

Perhaps we could call 'Jakey' Jenny instead?

Why the feck did Wilkins play Rents on the right and Cox on the left towards the end of that game. Surely once Jake had gone off it was obvious they should switch.

We needed quality crosses for Elder to attack not Cox floating ineffectual floaters because he had to come inside on his right all the time.

As for Jake... he bottled so many challenges again that Wilkins needs to tell him some home truths or else. When the balls in the air he makes out he`s staying on the ground because he wants to shield it when everyone can see he is scared of a clash.

Yesterday was a question of square pegs in round holes and dont dare tell me that we are limited with our squad because that was Mansfield we were playing for fucks sake.

As for Lynch............................... I haven`t got the sodding time to start there.

Indeed,Norman the Novice is clueless.How long can this last?

Anything, but Jakey. The thought of grown adults calling a footballer Jakey makes my skin crawl.

Can't do much for him either.
