So just to be clear, because we're not short of short players, we should bring in some tall ones just because they're tall(er)?
This reminds me of that weird post I a few days ago which told us that Clive Allen wasn't/couldn't be a top top top player because he was 'only' 5'10".
Anyway, I guess that's the long and short of it. |

As a fellow abusee by some sad sacks on LfW, I empathise, believe me, when your passionate/monetised hobby is turned into a stick to beat you with. |

Apparently, the next step is trying to play well for 60 minutes rather than 45, and then 'on verra'! Jesus Christ le Seigneur, and all his carpenter friends!
Perhaps the fans could come to a corresponding cunning agreement with the club to pay half the ticket prices to start the season, then two thirds, and see where we go from there?
Talk about bebe steps!
In about two months, we should be able to compete 100%, we're told. So that's all right then. Allons-y!
Are any other clubs - even a single one - telling their fans this?
Funny (i.e. perverse) take from the female interviewer, who referred to the fans being on board with Le Projet after the Watford game, when everyone knows we were giving the performance 'Le Oiseau' at h/t. No idea what planet she's on, but perhaps she's a Nourry plant!
In conclusion, I remain, however, totally au fait with our architectural dessein - let's say about 50% this weekend, next month 60%, and then maybe 100% by November. Or perhaps the reverse.
Patience is a virtue, as La Rochefoucauld may have said. (The word means suffering.)
Tout le monde out, etc! [Post edited 21 Aug 16:20]

That's exactly what I thought, looking at this vid - it all looks to me like players just going through the motions. Where's the passion and spirit? |

Was looking at Williams' CV on LinkedIn. His only job in football appears to have been with Eastleigh Women's FC in 2007-9. His longest job (7 years) was with the British Army.
Is he actually any more specifically qualified for a senior Championship fitness coaching role than Nourry is to be Our Great Leader? |

With the players we have at our disposal, 3-5-2 seems to be the way to go, n'est-ce-pas?

Me too - or why not just, whisper it, go teetotal for the day?
On 2nd thoughts, that could make imbibing the footballing product often intolerable. |

I've said I don't much like the cut of Stephan's gib, and I don't really trust him, and the whole smell of the club right now feels to me more and more estranged, but we have to see what he can make of what has been, in some respects at least, some promising recruitment, once the injury situation has improved. It won't help if the fanbase is at each other's throats either, though I fear the worst if we don't perform/win well once or twice at least over the next 5 games. |

It's be nice if our club interviewer actually grew a pair and asked this kind of question post-match on our behalf. Mind you, that would make football/life more real and authentic, which would never sell. |

As you've told me about 1000+ times, now , Northern, so maybe change the record? Just because you keep saying something doesn't make it true - it just makes it a fetish.
For the record, there have been a number of Rangers managers I've loved/admired dating back to before you even started supporting the club - Sexton, Docherty, Jago . . . and after that, Holloway, Magilton, and your mate Warburton to a point.
Why not just concede the counter-argument I've made (as you actually seem to be doing strangely easily) and leave it at that without the afters, i.e. play the ball not the man? I think you're (a lot) better than that. [Post edited 17 Aug 13:47]

I find that astonishing, frankly. At best 45 minutes of half-decent football v Preston in a game we probably deserved to lose by the end, an absolutely scandalous cup exit, and utter pits/pants v Watford for the first 45 (nice of the team to mix up which half we we don't bother playing in).
Unless one pursues the improbable/extremist thesis that Nourry is pulling all the strings, I'd say the manager has it all to do/prove, and then some, after the start we've had. [Post edited 17 Aug 13:25]

Nourry doesn't have a 'vested interest' - he's not paid fees for players that are index linked to his own profits! He's in exactly the saame position as any other CEO/Chairman/Manager who brings in players and needs them to succeed. If he's (over)-influencing team selection, presumably JS signed up for this, so if he's Le Bitch, he deserves whatever follows in my book. [Post edited 17 Aug 12:48]
