swannymere Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Both backing the manager and team but Matt suggesting that Nigel wasn't picking the team, squad or transfers. Whilst the guest journalist cast doubt on this and offered some praise for Cortese. Do you think the hordes will be out for blood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank's cousin Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 ..You mean the little WUM clique desperate to convince us that we wer crap because of interference - definietley will be out because as we know as Matty was our greatest ever, he can simply get nothing wrong (not pinnacle or anything, no nothing) and his opinion will definietly not be biassed in any way because of hi ongoing spat with NC... not he will rise above it and tell it like it is as he is still in reality in the dressing room cupboard listening in as NC reads out the side and our Nige sits sheepishly on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody seemed to care that 'Cortese was picking the team' when we were winning though. That will be beacuse when we are winning its Nigel picking the team and tactics and when we lose it must be NC.... As with most fans, win every week and I could not give a flying feck if Doris the tea lady picks the squad and caiches ramirez - get a few injuries to key players, have defensive lapses and poor decsions as a result of a young squad's lack of experience and suddenly its NC interfering... a strange sense of deja Vu... some dont like chairman. We have to live with it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it said yesterday that(probably totally erroneously) that NC had told whoever was supposed to be interferring to knock it off.

Roger Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 No way cortese is picking team. Adkins the last two weeks has gone back to what he dies best and what we do best. Play rickie the whole time, cork made a huge improvement and shaw is very good. Ramirez is class too. The shape and back 4 looks very good too.

Yep its clear we have strated to gell a bit more... Now I am certianly no expert, happy to admit that, but I would assume that key players back from injury, a young side (youngest we have ever put out), new players, playing a 4231 this season, well it might not be beyond possibilty that its taken 10+ games to figure out the best side and for them to gell... + confidence that had taken a batering during those times we were trying to figure it out.... and well its no surprise to me that we are nt teh worst side in this division, so these last couple of games were good ones agaisnt poorer sides in which to get some confidence back.... alternatively we can all be far more interested in rumours of conspiracy and interference.

shurlock Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 Basically NA is playing the same team, style and formation he played against Villa (still our biggest win this season) but now he's got Cork back from injury and Shaw has come in. If he had had a full complement of players, this would have been done a lot earlier. In addition, eith Cork back in, Davis drops to the bench pushing Guly, another versatile midfielder out.

If Cork was always supposed to be the preferred CM alongside Morgan he wouldn't have been shoved back to 18 now would he? Someone made some signings and established a pecking order,that was done before Cork got injured . I put it to you that the "transfer committee" established a preferred starting 11 and NA took a lot of time to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 18 November, 2012 Share Posted 18 November, 2012 I like MLT, always have. I don't think he should shut up either. The points he raised today have been rumoured for weeks. He may not like Cortese, but no doubting his love for the team. The key issue here; as it has been since the start of the Liebherr takeover, is a complete lack of official information. No surprise that in lieu of that, the club is externally perceived as having internal problems. That's the question that the host led with, btw.
