What's the pitch got to do with the trust?

Because they are talking about it on the phone in?

Yeah I get that...but it just seems bizarre to me. Cant think of a good eg but seems a bit like an interviewer asking a film stars agent about the camera used in his latest film.

Doesn't matter who you get on, there is always someone who wants the manager sacked 7 games in no striker no money 10 points docked and...................................
and We are not playing like Barcelona
Need to give at least one manager a go Robins has gone not sure he would have done any better with present Squad

Because he has a style of play. In general, playing passing football should suit the more technically gifted side. Playing long ball is what you do when you rely on strength, height and pace and are not the favourites. It's taking a gamble and "playing the percentages". It is fair to say that we are favourites for 80-90% of our home games, and in terms of budget should have some of the best players in the division, so playing passing football should suit us. He should show some versatility given our pitch, but given our players (no height/pace), I can see why he would want to play the long-term card and try and get the players entirely used to what he wants them to do next season. Although if we don't sort the pitch out, he will fail!

Surely being a good manager is adapting to the situation though?

Correct but do we have the players hear people saying we should play the long ball in these conditions we can't even head a ball from a corner and as for speed who would get there first??

Yep John Stape was the fan of the week. Spoke a lot of sense I thought. And didn't have to murder anyone

There are ways of playing the long ball, and both Wilson and cody (less so) have the ability to run the channels if were to knock balls on over the top behind the fullbacks. Doesn't have to be hoof.

Isnt figuring that out what makes a good manager though? It is the same as the thorn argument about how his hands were tied.
If i could manage city and have unlimited funds i could get us promoted, i think being a good manager is having the best tactic / plan to suit conditions, players and opposition. Isnt it obvious rather than say the pitches in this league dont suit our style of play instead of moaning to find a style of play that suits?

Yes like I said that's right but then everyone will be on here moaning about the long ball as a manager you can't win because someone will always say what if.
When A manager makes a substitution and the player scores it's an inspiration when that same player gives a goal away it was rubbish, at the end of he day it's fate Win hero lose zero

You can win as you would be adapting playing style to get 3 points! People moan when we play long ball with just mcdonald up front or try to play like barcelona when the ball cant roll 5 yards because of water.

Don't think anyone wants us to play long ball, remember all the moaning when Carsley played long ball.
Just to actually make progress with our passing and work the ball into the strikers feet quicker, we have hardly created anything in the last 7 games.
The pitch is a piss poor excuse and an unacceptable excuse.

did notice that there wee more travel reports from 'nasal nina' than callers,
still the trust managed to put points accross,
still SL will doubtless denigrate their position t'moro,
tho of course he knows the truth

Keeper to striker to knock down to goal! Keeper to striker to knock down to goal. Or miss in our case
or keeper to attacking midfielder playing as striker as we're short on numbers

It's boothroyds style of football when we are on a losing run.

Well then we should re-sign Aidy and Clive! John Beck as number two? He wouldn't even have to water the corners of our pitch, they're already a quagmire!
And I completely agree with what Hawley said about the Donnie game.

So we should pick Cody and a target man for him to run off.
Oh that's right, we haven't got one...
