Next Season

[howser]

Irrespective of which league we are in next season there has to be a severe change of personnel, IMO, not only playing wise either, for me these are the individuals that should be moving on :-

Steve Coppell........Apart from the obvious, every manager has his "shelf life" at a club
Wally Downes........Not sure what he has given us the last couple of seasons
Marcus................Has been fantastic for us, but we have to give Fed his chance
Gunnarsson...........Doesn't have the legs anymore
Marek..................Apart from the odd flash has never really performed
Lita....................Not sure about this one, but certainly doesn't figure in anything here at the moment
Kebe...................Think we have seen the best we are going to from him.
Hunt S.................Really seems to have lost interest since his proposed January move didn't happen.
Tabb...................Cant find any reason why we got him here in the first place ?
Sodje..................Completely out of the picture.
Harper.................Like him and his attitude, but he needs a new challenge
Golbourne.............hasn't done much to show he is the new "left back" in waiting, has put no pressure on Stretch.


Might be a bit drastic but we DO need a good shake up, the only other player I have doubts about is Murty, I think the club would love to keep him in some capacity, although I could always see him moving away to join Phil Parkinson as assistant manager, if he remains at Charlton.

As I said whichever league we are in there is a need for a change.....................I will be interested in the views of the older and wiser amongst us..............and be gentle............this is just a general thought !!

[Big Foot]

Apart from Golbourne, Marek & Kebe - I concur

[The Rouge]

I agree we need surgery rather than a bit of tweaking but I find the outsider view of hmm-not-sure-what-Wally-Downes-does-maybe-get-rid-of-him approach laughable.

a) you don't know so why comment
b) he is acknowledged to be the defensive coach and we aren't conceding many goals at the moment

[howser]

You think i am an Outsider Rouge ??, Interesting last season we leeked goals for fun and one of the main reasons we havent conceded so many recently is that we are consistently playing with a very defensive midfield. Which also explains why we dont create anything up front, coz if you aint noticed we dont score that many.

+1 apart from Goldbourne.

I assumed you don't attend training sessions - apologies if I am wrong.

Interesting last season we leeked goals for fun

Did we ?

We had two freak games which blew our Goals Against figures. Replace them with a couple of 2 goal defeats and our stats look not much different to a lot of the teams last season. We also improved defensively in the second half of the season IIRC.

[Madstad to Nadderud]

If Wally Downes is still the main coach for the defence, then I think he has contributed something this season with Reading having the second best defensive record this season behind Birmingham.

True and if we replaced the 2 goals Fulham scored at the Mad Stad with 0, we would have stayed up, but those are the breaks I suppose and we did concede 66 last year.

Have to agree with first poster, you can also add Long to the list as well, and I also think that if we are in the Championship, the likes of Doyle, Bikey and a sprinkling of the younger lads out on loan (eg Davies, Bennett) will be off as well.

I think Nhunt will be our talismanic striker next year. Looking forward to next year if there is a clear out.

[SteveRoyal]

We should resurrect the "Championship is better anyway" thread.

[Royalee]

Agree with the original post aside from Matejovsky - should free up some cash to build a decent side around our better younger players.

[AthleticoSpizz]

CRIKEY BUCKO!

Steve Coppell........Apart from the obvious, every manager has his "shelf life" at a club and we could end up with Dowie......better the devil you know (even if he is the most sucessful manager we've ever had)


Wally Downes........Not sure what he has given us the last couple of seasons loads of recent 0-0's justifies his role, defence isn't the issue right now......besides...he wants to get back into management, and will surely leave


Marcus................Has been fantastic for us, but we have to give Fed his chance, read IS where WAS


Gunnarsson...........Doesn't have the legs anymore, agreed, but has the head and heart

Marek..................Apart from the odd flash has never really performed agreed very overated and cherished here


Lita....................Not sure about this one, but certainly doesn't figure in anything here at the moment to speak the obvious


Kebe...................Think we have seen the best we are going to from him. Confuses himself more than he even confuses me


Hunt S.................Really seems to have lost interest since his proposed January move didn't happen needs to revert what he was doing two seasons ago (ie, taking the ball around players instead of his recent attempts to take it through them)

.
Tabb...................Cant find any reason why we got him here in the first place ?back-up (early days for the lad...a legend at Cov)


Sodje..................Completely out of the picture. Yet MOM for Leeds Utd yesterday, never given a chance


Harper.................Like him and his attitude, but he needs a new challenge Overly slated on here

Golbourne.............hasn't done much to show he is the new "left back" in waiting, has put no pressure on Stretch. Agreed, back-up on tap tho'

Actually I think you'll find this should be in Unfounded Rumours or Gossip.

I'll comment on this when this season has actually finished.

Terminal Boardom calls it a day after 35+ years, turns into a plastic and goes to watch real football in whatever league the Isthmian League is now called.
