I see Bet Victor have Peter Taylor 2nd favourite at 6/4 after Phill Brown 1/2.
Neither inspire me with much enthusiasm TBH.
I think Power has decided on Brown though, he has experience even if hes not that great on paper.
He will probably bring along his Southend assistant manager and former Town loan defender Graham Coughlan too.
Speaking to a couple of Southend fans they all say the same thing, he has some good some bad, he can sort out defences fairly well but often is far too defensive.
He plays a percentage game based on science and statistics using ProZone stats with a lot of very direct long ball much as he was taught by Big Sam after being his assisant at Blackpool and Bolton for many years.
He isn't the football playing style of manager many Town fans seem to crave but he has had some good results in the past at this level and higher.
I think all the best sides are built on good defences but you do need a bit of attacking skill to win games.
If he is indeed appointed after the CHeltenham game then lets see what he can bring to the plate, even though at this stage I personally would prefer Taylor to be given a chance.

Not saying that he takes the fake tan to extremes, but when I first flagged up his Wiki page to have a look at his manager stats I migrated away from it as being the wrong Phil Brown as he looked like a black guy in the picture..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Brown_(footballer,_born_1959) At least would save a few quid getting a trained electrician into the club. |

Or a woodworker to treat his deep mahogany lustre. |

the problem with improving the defence is that we don't have the personnel. The defence is injured and the midfield are better going forward (when not injured/suspended).
Meh.

Indeed, when you have no personnel you cannot improve, unless you retrain players from other positions, always a gamble. Unless he, or whoever comes in, knows of a free agent or 2 that they can rely on even if its short term. |

Well i suppose you can improve by changing formation/tactics. But I don't think that's playing to our strengths and we don't want to miss out on a playoff place with a Paul Hart approach.
If whoever the new new manager doesn't spot this then he shouldn't be the new manager!
Anyway... any new unexpected names popping up?

In the case of Banks he won't have played a game in over a month. Sometimes you get a 3 game ban, the matches come Tuesday/Sat/ Tuesday so it's not too bad. With te postponement he'll be going from 24th Feb - 30th March. It's these little things which cost over a season |

Whereas you're probably right, I can't understand why Yeovil hasn't yet been rearranged. I was expecting it to come on 20th, or perhaps 27th. Where's the delay? |
