Got to give Purrington game time to get match sharp. I always thought he had scope. Towell could be back sat', get him & Vaulks back in midfield. Palmer is a rank bad signing. Too lightweight, Clough would have kept him if he was any good. Sooner see Wiles play, he's a solid built player. Get Taylor up front with Smith. We've tried everyone else without success.
im sorry t71 but you are so wrong about palmer but right about purrington he needs a couple of games to get in the rhythm of things
palmer is a great player in our team the one to replace potter and Frecks i watched him on Friday and with the benefit of been sat higher than i normally do.he was a pleasure to watch a really good buy
their loss our gain

I'll give Palmer a chance but he has no pace & not the strongest. We had our good run with Vaulks & Towell together in midfield. Only problem is Vaulks is probably now our best centre back. Wood is on his last legs. Ihiewke what did he actually do wrong at centre back? It's that long since I've seen him there I can't remember if he was good enough. Can't remember too many negatives about him.
Smiler - stick to the subject matter if you can because you're seeing conspiracy everywhere - where there is none.
Any true fan not biased to the point of blindness can understand the interest of comparison of methodologies - of our inexperienced management and the one who gave us the best years in our history - who has studied the ways of Sir Alex.
Not a bad hero to have - to emulate and I appreciated his philosophy because players are like teenagers - see an easy way out and they take it.
I'm not disrespectful of anyone - but at the end of the day history will write itself.
Rubbish.
Frankly I am just irritated by your boring theme.
Your comparison and faux question posing is totally self-serving and leading. When referring to Warne you disparage him, calling him an apprentice, a novice, a yes man, a fitness coach, someone who needs to borrow a hairdryer (lol - not) and so on whilst making it clear that you worship Evans (or EVO as you put it, presumably for emphasis). Hardly put in neutral, 'just interested' terms is it?
When you leave your cliffhanger 'we shall see...' or 'time will tell....' you think you already know the answer. You most definitely know what you want the answer to be. You wanted us to lose to them on Friday so you could say 'told you so' but unfortunately for you we outplayed them so you say 'both teams were equally poor' (wrong) and have moved move quickly on. You now want us to fail relative to Peterborough in the play-off race so that you can say you told us so. That is coming through absolutely loud and clear.
You are trying to turn every thread into your pet EVO v novice comparison because that is your agenda. You don't rate Warne and would rather us fail so that you can tell us all how right you were about him.
The words used to describe Warne within the context of his new career are quite acceptable and a Yes man is just as pertinent because TS has heard numerous NO's for professional and financial reasons - Warne was chosen after other very professional football managers took to the hills - a yes man he certainly is - I don't think the previous manager's would take a machete to the squad / wages under the smoke screen of not PW type players.
I post on topics that interest me and are topical and - let's face it will be more important - long term than a new player. I say - in answer to the statement...."One man doesn't make a team" - we'll I say it does.....the manager!
Irritating - well you being irrational and seeing anything other than very pertinent and topical posts is - quite.
But again I say - stick to the subject matter - this isn't MM where personalities and unnecessary squabbling is at epidemic levels.

"Frankly I am just irritated by your boring theme"
Strangely you talk about it more than I do....alas PW is the Rotherham United manager and as a fan I am not obliged to blow hot air up anyones arr5e.
The discussion of various management techniques is for academic reasons - comparison of relative success v failure of management techniques.
Although you won't be interested - just watch the Premiership managers. They are now actors - Some are playing the part of highly reactive individuals - shouting - high fiving management teams - at goals etc - when others act cool and gently react like Arsenals disliked genius.
It's an area of football I am interested in because great managers who are serious thinkers of football are often ostracised due to their lack of "heart" - where managers who play to the fans
(sometimes purely in a patronising way) - are accepted as full of heart and caring.
As I say - History will write itself - it always does but the managerial style is of interest to me.
A "Good Manager" for me is somebody who grew up into the job from an early part of his / her career - it's not taught on a course - the courses are only embellishments to vocation.

The thread was about the Charlton game and you turned it into an EVO v Warne one. I'm not getting drawn into your EVO v Warne games Born. Your self-serving anti-Warne agenda is all too clear to see and has been since you started posting on this site. That was difficult for you when we went 14 unbeaten but you passed that off as being down to crap opposition. Some of us are hoping that Warne does well because that means that our club will do well. Its a shame that you can't get behind that, but it is your prerogative. Just don't expect to be able to keep repeating your line without the real purpose of it being highlighted. I am entitled to respond and say what I think.
To underpin my point / my comparison of football management techniques - I think the comparison of Arsenal and Manchester United is a perfect example.
Arsenal - man for man - have a fantastic team - millions of pounds of talent from across the globe....Now compare their relative success with Sir Alex's Manchester United.
The silverware speaks for itself and you get many examples of how to two managers speak / react / communicate about football.
Now - football knowledge is at the highest with both managers yet the points scored regarding aggression and Sir Alex wins every time - so....?
Does the aggressive manager just give the team that edge....I think passion is a communicative desease....and football is all about passion!
