Putting Nailsworth On The Map: EFL 22/23

:(

I'm off to the game on Saturday anyway, I'll pretend you're there and flick some vs especially for you.

sadly i am saving myself for Derby away, half term and all that

NEXT SEASON

You're assuming Charlton won't get relegated?

I'm just heartily enjoying the schadenfreude of LoB/ToF having a mare at Forest. LoB is out of the squad and a loan move to Blackburn fell through in the dying minutes of the window on some stupid legal technicality. ToF's move to Anderlecht was kyboshed by Forest, also in the last minutes, because their 1st choice lb is weeks away from fitness. It's a better feeling than getting to autoglass trophy final at old Wembley!

get it where you can!

also u cheeky sod tim lol

seems we didn't forget to pack a gun keeper

Liverpool lose to Wolves and Hereford lose to Farsley Celtic, yet Everton manage to beat Arsenal. Only way this day could have gone worse would be someone picking up an injury.

Hwang did his hamstring tbf

I mean a Liverpool or Hereford player, sorry about Hwang

lol i know i was just revelling, soz

also sad about Dyche tho tbf

Farsley went down to 10 with about 15 minutes to go, Gowling responded by bringing on two unfit 36 year olds. His time's up.

I'm praying that Fotheringham gets pumped tonight. He would have been gone months ago, but there is an empty chair running the club.

Went to the stadium formally known as the ricoh for the Huddersfield game,both teams looked a bit lost but gyokeres was the difference
As has been p much every win for us this season
Hamer goal was beautiful, he'll probs go epl next year

Pleased to report that Hereford United just beat Birmingham City 3-1 in the League Cup (in Fifa 2009 on the Wii)

xp

Robins made a comment after that match that he'd watched them training when they were both in Spain during int break and they seemed to do "a lot of running". This amused the Town fans because an insider has suggested running is about all there is to the Fotheringham training regime!

lol perfect for the manager garbage talk thread

and even though Waghorn scored today, it masked a piss poor performance and he looks slow and shite. I can see why Robins was happy to farm him out!

I'm having one of them days where I'm driving myself nuts constantly refreshing news sources to check if Fotheringham has been sacked yet. I've never disliked a manager as much as him, right from the day he was unveiled and his first declaration was that he wasn't interested in tactics!

One of the QPR commentary team yesterday noted that although their injury depleted lot are quite shit and on a terrible run of form, Hudds he said looked like a team that hasn't had any coaching at all. Just a bunch of strangers who met in the car park for the first time half an hour before KO.

Gowling mutually consented. Just as well as we couldn't afford to sack him.

that's precisely our problem, the club is up for sale and the pot of money left to keep it out of administration until a new owner is found won't be enough to pay him off, and our idiot DoF was so bowled over by his interview he gave him a 3 year contract.

Thoroughly unproven rumours but a genuine source says his deal was two separate ones as player and manager, having refused to sign himself on as the former in his capacity as the latter but drawing the wage as the former because it wasn't his fault he wasn't getting picked.

Sounds ludicrous but stranger things must have happened in football.

heh!

one of the previous holders of "most deranged idiotic EFL manager" Nathan Jones. Apparently he had a fist fight with some Southampton players earlier today.

THERE IS LIGHT

congrats

I'm not joking he was so bad, just any manager with the lowest base level of a football brain (or even just a brain) will be enough to get us out of trouble. No hyperbole here, he was the worst I have ever seen in my life. Not just for trying to cram 8 defensive midfielders in one starting XI but also for the corrosive effect his horrible various negative personality traits were having on the team: He drove out our most creative attacking player on loan to a rival. And destroying the confidence of a few of the highly rated young players we have. Just an all round shite sandwich without the bread.

cowleys are available! j/k, grats!

rumour is it's an out of work manager with a lot of Championship exp coming in ... gulp!

lol uh oh

enjoy Lampard

probably more chance of 74 yr old Warnock coming out of retirement .... shit, I'm probably best off not even joking about that!

every couple of years i end up googling to see if Dave Bassett's still alive

Alan Pardew has just been sacked by Aris Thessaloniki, just putting it out there.

xp

bloody hell, he's only 4 years older than Colin!

the new manager was interviewed this afternoon, gut feeling tells me it's Wilder

Our top candidates seem to be Ian Long (who I was quite vocally in favour of to replace Beadle but his total failure since - apart from the FA cup run - should rule him out) and John Askey (although York sacked David Webb today and the clamour for Askey back has brought insiders out of the woodwork saying there were non-football issues behind his sacking, which makes me cautious).

Still missing Graham Turner after 13 years.

David Webb didn't last very long at York! It didn't seem that far back since he was a "technical director" at town - what the devil that means is beyond me. Some chancer who gives good interviews and talks a load of shite is my best analysis.

Designs next generation of footballing cyborgs, at a guess

GT assisting with the new search apparently

75 years old is too old to come back isn't it? But hope he can at least find someone less mediocre.

Seen him in the ground the last couple of home matches, seems in good form.

In a similar vein, it still baffles me that Colin Addison doesn't look all that old. Only Dudley Tyler looks as young from the 72 squad.

"shit, I'm probably best off not even joking about that!"

74 yr old Warnock is currently the 1/2 fav, with all the usual caveats about next manager betting markets considered. See youse all in L1 next season

lol

welcome back Uncle Neil! It's only until the end of the season + tbf his record of pulling relegation threatened clubs out of the mire with a third of the season to go is pretty much one of 100% success. Still funny tho!

ONE LAST JOB

Reckon they had to send Ben Kingsley to yell No at him repeatedly

There is a lot of Warnock nostalgia amongst supporters of my generation. It's like the second coming of Christ to some of them. Honest, you wouldn't believe how happy some people are about this, lol. Full disclosure: I am happy as well.
