Get a fookin' grip. Megson has a great eye for signings. We wouldn’t be lumbered with half the dross Carlos the clown has signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geedee Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 When we got promoted in2012 we needed a Stuart gray, Gary megson, Tony pullis, style manager to keep us up with limited resources. That's what those kind of managers do, they play percentage boring football because they specialise in getting the best out of a group of players that are essentially playing in a league that's too good for them We should not need that kind of manager now, we have (or certainly had) the resources to buy an attacking team capable of challenging for the top 2.

A bit like Exeter away or Chesterfield. err I can go on the football was insipid and as has already been stated is no change from what we have got already. If we are wanting free flowing fast moving football I hate to say it but Meggo is not our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxOwl Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Why does everyone insist Megson played rubbish football with us? Is it just cos he's an unfashionable manager? My memory of his time here was generally us getting the ball out wide to Ben Marshall, an exciting winger (remember those?) that he signed, and getting the ball in the box. We were also absolutely lethal from set pieces. And as for being negative, I thought he always tried to win games for us, especially at Hillsboro. Far more entertaining than what's an offer at the moment. Personally, I'm not bothered whether the football is direct or the sort of stuff we played in 2015/16, as long as we create chances and we actually try to win games. Give me attacking hoofball over the present sideways, one chance-a-game, negative rubbish any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 oh A Gary Megson thread again yay. Whilst we are talking nonsense why don’t we get Big Ron back in or Paul Sturrock. Move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with you that the style isn't that important it seems to be what the majority of fans want to see. The issue I'd have with Megson is when plan A doesn't work there really is no plan B. Like you say at times we played some great stuff when Marshall was on it and he was getting the crosses in for Madine and O'Grady. This team isn't really built how Megson would want and any new manager would have to work with this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherlyegg Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They also got a point against a good side. West Brom are in trouble, they are entitled to try and park the bus. We don't park the bus so much, cos the fooookin clutch has gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
