No comment from manager on yesterday's signings?

[Silent Blade]

Cant think of the last time when we didnt have the manager discussing a new signing to the media?

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

I can live without it tbf.

Only so many ways of saying "so-and-so is a player we know all about, we've been watching him for a while and think he will fit in well here"

 

[finlaytheblade]

Hopefully from now on its less talk and more action.Weve been starved of it so far it has to get a lot better from now or Selles will be history.

Maybe he's been advised to keep his trap shut and focus on the team?

 

[jim2007]

He's got no internet access in the old south stand police cells they have him locked up in while they find a replacement.

It is a little bit strange how quiet the club is generally. But even with an international break, you'd expect some comment and content

 

[1066blade]

Can someone please update me on how many we've brought in?

Not as many as Wednesday took to QPR on a midweek game

4 yesterday: McGuinness, Ogbene, Matos and Mee, although the latter was training with us for two weeks prior.

Seven over the past week; the above 4 plus Tanganga, Ings and Chong.

You never know. He might have gone with:

“Jack Robinson is a player we know all about. We’ve been watching him for a while and think he won’t fit in here, so we flogged him to the first bidder.”

They could have at least sent a little ai robot out to do a presser…

Looks like the AI algorithm likes names beginning with ‘M’ and names with prominent ‘g’s.

Yeah, this. I don't think you need a degree in marketing to realise why he's being restricted to post match waffle.

HUBBA HUBBA!

 

[Ron_Justice]

Are we not just seeing another example one of the gaps that CW chose to fill? Not sure we really need an update from the Head Coach.... The club signing a player is literally all the endorsement we need.

 

[jt64]

Almost as if he knows he's got his work cut out on his own job to be spending time commenting publicly about the job of others

 

[Peaktrade]

Tbh i don’t really care for his talk. He’s talked some absolute BS since coming - talking about excellence, high press bla bla ..

For me, I need results not talk!

He’s been backed now, so let’s see. I’m still far from convinced considering his inept tactical decisions. He can keep his clip board and understand strikers are not wingers or wing backs! I’m no football expert but the entire stadium can tell him that (apart from himself and his backroom staff).

Let’s see

I'd guess he's having a day off. Would make sense as he worked Saturday and should have been working on signings the last two days so today is probably a rest.

This might be the first time we've signed lots of players but had a manager on his very, very last chance

Too many but not enough.

Agree, he’s actually a very impressive talker regards words. Reminds me of Pep Guardiola, appears to be an expert on tactics wanting to play football “the right way”. He’s speaks in a monotone emotionless way, almost like a robot but he ‘s very convincing regards his philosophy and your can’t help being excited.

The reservations start when the team is announced. I’m no expert but even I know that Sereki, Barry, Brooks and even Burrows can be excellent going forward but can be dodgy in defence and need support. We’ve all seen that Peck is good joining attacks but not the best at defending.

But you give Selles the benefit of doubt and assume he must have a grand plan. Then you watch the match and there are glaringly obvious issues. We struggle to create chance, the midfield doesn’t function and we sometimes look open at the back. It really looks like the players are confused and not sure what they are supposed to be doing.

After a while it does go through you head that maybe the manager doesn’t know what he’s doing but that’s crazy. Surely he has a tactical plan and is evolving/ learning from each match to make us better?

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

But quite close. 2,984 CB’s.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

It's cos there are so many and it will take time to learn all their names.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Do you think RS has asked for these players specifically or the owners and scouting dept have told him this is who you've got, sort it sharpish ?
