Season long loan to Gillingham

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 28, 2020

Robins and Evans best mates now. Say what you want about Evans but he’s a winner

TomRad85 · Sep 28, 2020

Turns out Evans was just being mean to Robins because he likes him really. Classic school yard stuff.

By the look of what Evans has said they’ve got both Eccles and Drysdale without contributing towards their wages which shows how far we’ve come to be able to financially support other teams

Yep, always first in the queue down the chippy

harvey098 · Sep 28, 2020

Hope he doesn’t teach him out of playing out from the back. Not sure a Steve Evans team is the right fit for a player like Drysdale

PVA · Sep 28, 2020

Good move, hope he does well (I think he will).

They had 29% possession on Saturday but won 2-0. I said in the other thread both are sound footballers and the management wants them to toughen up.

lifeskyblue · Sep 28, 2020

Perhaps Evans is developing his team and trying less hoof ball. I think this is a really good move for CCFC and drysdale. A year of playing every week in L1 (rather than u23s) will toughen him up as well as improve his defensive skills.

Hopefully it toughens Declan up and they stick him in the gym. Could do a world of good for him.

SlowerThanPlatt · Sep 28, 2020

I would hope there’s a few more outgoings in the pipeline too

Hadji's_Goatee · Sep 28, 2020

Great move for everyone that

bawtryneal · Sep 28, 2020

Evans is a cock. End of !!

Liquid Gold · Sep 28, 2020

To be frank I think there will be very few L1 teams capable of playing out like we do. He already seems comfortable on the ball so a year of developing the rest of his game against much tougher opposition than in the u23 can only do him good.

Maybe so but his record as a lower league manager isn’t up for debate

Liquid Gold · Sep 28, 2020

If Bristol Rovers are our B team are Gills our C team?

Other way around. Gillingham are taking players we actually want to keep.

I'd disagree with that, he might get wins in the short term but he often leaves clubs in a worse position than he finds them. In some instances out of business, generally without a pot to piss in all the while burning bridges with the network you need to develop within the game.

If you want a few wins go for it, I think a longer term strategy is more important.

He's hardly got a glowing managerial record. His last promotion was back in 2014. Since then he's underperformed at every club he's managed, probably bar Gillingham.

I still think it's a good move for both Eccles and Drysdale though. As there's probably few tougher managers to work under in League One/Two.

No - still Sunderland (Burge, Willis, Maguire)

Magwitch · Sep 28, 2020

Good move for Drysdale, I thought he looked a real prospect in the Gillingham league cup-tie but he needs more than U23 games to bring him on a season with a decent division one team will do him and hopefully long term us a lot of good, as for Evans not a fan but he has decent teams.

His win ratio is better than Robins

Agreed, his win ratio is quite impressive at all clubs hes been at.

Take out the periods in the conference (so it's more comparable) and it's about the same, if not in Robins favour.

Bit odd to take that out surely?

Bit like taking out cup goals

Grendel said:

Really? Taking out the non-league stuff surely makes it more comparable, no?

If manager A has a 40% win ratio with mainly Prem/Champ games versus a manager who has a 40% win ratio with mainly L1/L2 games, who is the better manager?

Grendel · Sep 28, 2020

robbiekeane said:

Not really. He’s managed at a championship club as well

Gordon Milne was a much better manager than Robins but as he was at a higher level he’s record looks mediocre

If Evans managed a team in the national league with no money he wouldn’t automatically succeed

Try putting Pep into Stevenage and see how he does

Not bothered mate. Point stands. If you disagree, no biggy.

If you fancy a 10 minute phone call regarding Steve Evans I will be happy to oblige

Of all the people currently involved in football in this country he would be top of my list of people who I would not want to influence my young players.

Spend 5 mins researching his history Wkipedia would be a good start and it is 99% accurate in his case.
