His month to month contract expires tomorrow
So technically we are not actually taking someone else's manager, as he will be unemployed. This changes everything. |

If he's going 442, Hope and Pitman and a recall for Scott Twine as backup could be incoming
How long is Tyler Smith out? He would be great in a front 2 |

Did one over us in the JPT Final, which appeared to be the only time that squad was overconfident and decided not to turn up (New Wembley and Town team in not turning up shocker)
Hmmm.....that one and the 2 other most important games of that season. |

Shall we at least give the guy ten games and then produce a probationary report?
He's already been judged and written off as a shit, cheap option, by our Twitter Twats. Why, oh, why doesn't the Club listen to them....?  |

Plymouth friend just warned me to look out for hoofball. Would be a shame if we took a step back in that respect, but certainly this year our defenders need to get a bit smarter about fannying around on the edge of the area.

I also understand that they could be direct at times. I have a feeling that direct football and 'shithousery' will be necessary at some point during the season. |

Back 3. Defend first. Get players back fit. Stay in existence. Stay in the League. Upgrade the manager in the summer when we have a budget again.

Agreed. Fed up with seeing us concede shit goals. Has marks of a Luke Williams team in that we score some excellent goals, but concede awful goals. Tighten up the defence, pick up points and then make our way up the league. |

Could see us giving Noel Hunt some more hands-on experience as the season goes on, allowing Sheridan to see us through to the summer and then Hunt to take the gig (if he wants it)

I honestly don't see how that can even be an option with the players we have. From what I've seen, Pitman is the only player who you could see being able to hold up the ball. Our strength going forward is all the ball playing midfielders we have. Lumping the ball over their heads would make no sense at all. |

This. Although not bothered whether he does it with back 3, 4 or whatever combination. No-one's there to watch it, watching on iFollow is shit anyway, the season's a write-off from a football point of view, all about protecting the business. |

Well not really. If you have a striker who can hold the ball up and has decent control you can in theory lump it up to him, for him to trap with his back to goal to play it back into the midfield. There is (to me anyway) a difference between hoofball (aimless punts forward) and being direct. |
