Walsall and Burton

[mattbianco1]

Could this work out for the better for us?

Both clubs have lost/are losing their manager. Both Dean Smith and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have done fantastic jobs at their respective clubs and have built them up to what they are today. Losing them will be a big thing for both clubs i'm sure.

It depends on who comes in and what they try to do. Take Brentford for example. Mark Warburton did for Brentford similar to what these two guys have done at their clubs. They then end up getting shut of him and end up with their 3rd manager in 6 months.

If the new guys come in and carry on what DS & JFH have started then they could carry on with their great form and start to the season. If they come in and try changing things straight away, this could have an adverse effect on them... Look at David Weir

 

[Digger]

It could have an adverse effect but maybe the people running these clubs are smart enough to employ a manager who "fits" with the squad already assembled and the club's carry on with the strategies in place?.

It is depressing that we are now 14 POINTS BEHIND BURTON!!!.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Possibly - if Clough gets one of the jobs and buys his rubbish from us.

 

[Revolution]

They could both collapse I suppose.

That would only leave 11 more clubs ahead of us.

Theres nearly half the division between us and Walsall/Burton.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Be interesting to see how this will affect Walsall and Burton in their next few fixtures.

 

[Superblades]

Yep we just need all the other teams above us to let their managers go and we should be sorted. We need to be looking no further than our own problems and then once they are sorted we should start climbing the table.

 

[dingledog]

Possibly the mist depressing of posts. How the mighty have fallen.

Counting not a strong point?

Deserves his chance he worked wonders at Burton

but it shows theres a long long way to go and momentums and circumstances can alter greatly in a short period of time

but dont forget huddersfield and the oinkers surprisingly had new managers and went up

 

[wizadry]

Interesting OP but i think it's fair to say that we as a club desperately need to concentrate on our own issues rather than other clubs, discuss by all means but i personally think this is out of our hands.

Their managers got sacked though and turned out to be good moves.

 

[Bladesman]

Helps if we start getting some more points on the board.

A number of clubs above us will fall away much like Tranmere a few years a go.

the fact remains both started with new managers

 

[Kenilworth]

They both won last night though, didn't they?

Burton got a 2-1 win over Millwall - something we failed to do at home
Walsall had a 3-1 victory away at those shining stars of Shrewsbury.

Shrews fans bemoaning the situation where they want to play us every week

strange we got draws away at both

 

[Harry's Game]

Nah, I can't see either of them finishing below us in the relegation fight.

 

[OllyBlade]

Talk about running before you can walk...

 

[derryblade]

Two points out of 12 points available not bothered who we played or where.

It does but unlike the others, this wasn't a well thought out plan to improve their chances of promotion and could well do the opposite.

only time will tell

 

[derryblade]

We are actually hoping that the owner/boards of Burton and Walsall have same track record as ours in appointing under performing managers, clutching at straws or what. You would imagine they would appoint a manager to continue their winning formula rather than one that would want to change it.

 

[zablade]

If QPR appoint. JFH then Warnock would be a free agent again.... I wonder if ...

 

[Kenilworth]

strange we got draws away at both

Oooh - a draw and then another draw

clap
clap
clap
crap

Still not good enough - especially, as derryblade says, when it's 2 points out of a possible 12 from that quartet.
Relly form, that is

 

[Kenilworth]

There are rumours that Warnock will be quitting the game for good - summat to do with family reasons but I am not party to any detail

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

"If QPR appoint. JFH then Warnock would be a free agent again.... I wonder if ... "

Dislike Warnock but ... should we sack Adkins and replace him with old big nose, I wouldn't be too disappointed. I still blame him for us not now being an established Premier division team, similar to what Stoke have done. While he was way out of his depth in the Premier he'd be in his element in the third tier. I'd like to say he'd be like a 'pig in shite' but obviously that kind of term should be reserved for them tossers in S6. He'd at least get the defence and spine of the team sorted and if we got him this side of Christmas we'd still have half a chance of getting the play-offs.

When he first took over in '99 he complained about having to clear dog shit off the training ground at Warminster Road, he could start a second term clearing the dog shit out of the first team up at Shirecliffe.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

It is a fucking travesty that we are in this division.

It is a fuckinh bigger travesty that we are below cunts like these .

Sadly until someone grasps the nettle we are stuck

His wife is pretty ill

 

[chesblade]

Clough to go back to Burton, beat us in the play offs. It's written in the stars, can just see this happening

 

[chipsncake]

Walsall nor Burton will have any effect on our promotion chances. Unless we find a decent manager we are going nowhere.
