Personally thought Clare was our most consistent defender this season.soapboxsam said:balham red said:
Please... stop... saying Clare was a great centre back. He was responsible for loads of conceded goals. He looked flashy taking the ball out of defence under zero pressure. That doesn't make him a great defender.soapboxsam said:The Red Robin said:Jacko 4/6 favourite for the Wimbledon job.
Not sure if this is insider information or just someone having £50 on JJ getting the job.
Some dude said JJ had terrible results when picking the team ? But his record in his two spells when picking the team was 17 wins and 13 losses and League 2 will be a great place for JJ to prove 3-5-2 can be successful but maybe try to make the simple switch to 5-3-2 for game management purposes and have natural wing backs on at least one side if not both !
I'm convinced JJ will have success but obviously he made some mistakes in his 30 League games in charge.
but he also improved 3 of the success stories this season:
Dobson, Corey Blackett-Taylor, and Clare who found another position he can perform in.
We need players and a manager that can hit the ground running and the last day of the August window just won't work with incoming players. We scored our first goal from open play in our last game of August.
Can we stop ground hog day.
Thank you.
I didn't say Clare was a great Centre back, I said he found another position he can perform in ? Without injuries to our 3CB it would've been Gunter and Pearce so well done Sean.
He had good games at RCB but with some mistakes obviously as defenders need to play as a unit.
In fact i have been saying Clare would make a good wingback in the 3-5-3 or attacking fullback in a 4 at this level as he has got pace and stamina. Suggested this to a Charlton player on Bank holiday Monday ( a player who will be here next season) and he agreed that if Cafc could keep our CB fit then having the pace of Sean Clare would be an asset as he didn't think Matthews was staying. The announcement on JJ and the guys being released came after our chat.
We were lucky to have Sean Clare to step in as a RCB and he was the most consistent defender over the season. Not a natural CB but is decent in the air and has pace. He loves to charge forward so will be interesting how the new manager uses him.

So anyway I met Martin Sandgaard today.
Said they've been very busy with manager interviews.
Like a good journalist I had a tricky follow up question ready and asked "British or Foreign" to which he replied "it will be a person".
So there's some important inside info for you.
1. Person doesn't rule out a woman so stick £5 on my half-sister (it's a long story) Emma Hayes.
2. He's learning to keep his mouth zipped. Someone let Conor know.25 -

Maybe you should have put it to him that a lot of people on CL think he and his dad are chancers and don’t know what they are doing, and asked for a reply. Not my personal view but a real answer may burst a few bubbles.😂Henry Irving said:So anyway I met Martin Sandgaard today.

Isn't the problem here that we have a number of Sandgaards people who are self-identifying as something that they are clearly not ... but, hey, who are you to deny someone that right?
If someone wants to self-identify as a knowledgeable football expert (with or without a hard shot), then that's cool. This is the modern World, Grandad.1 -

Think you need to clarify your definition of a chancer. Southall was a good example of what I’d call a chancer but seeing as how Sandgaard is into Charlton for around £16 million of his hard earned I’m thinking TS isn’t.paulfox said:

Everyone knows Tommy boy does all of his hiring and firing over the phone.Mendonca In Asdas said:Just wondering how many managers we’ve interviewed for the gig so far, & will they be done in person , or on zoom?
Also wonder if any of them have turned us down due to money / not having as much control over footballing stuff as they’d like, at what point do we start to get a bit concerned and how long should this process take?2 -

Shooters, I think you got the wrong end of the stick, my clarification of a chancer is the same as yours, something I don’t think sandgaard is at all. However a few on here’s opinion of TS isn’t that good. Hence my sarcasm in asking them a question they could reply to honestly and put the doubts in peoples mind to bed. Hope I’ve explained myself well enough and made it clear now.hopefully no more need for FFS’.s. Also hope Henry gets it now.ShootersHillGuru said:

It was a brief chat but he seemed easy going enoughmendonca said:@Henry Irving, what's MS like to chat with? Easy going?
Maybe my "oh, you're the guy everyone is talking about" opening remark when introduced was slightly off putting for him but we chatted for all of about 30 seconds.
I asked a few questions I didn't really expect to get full answers to about the management situation which he answered as he should ie being polite but not telling a complete stranger anything confidential.
He was a perfectly pleasant and polite young man speaking to a, to him, random fan.
Would have loved to have spoken to him for longer but it wasn't the time or place.12 -

The key question that was missed, of course ... who is doing the interviews? And what are the interview questions?
Some suggestions:
1) Hej ... do you like the high press, clean sheet game?
2) Do you like players with a hard shot?
3) Do you have the same ideas as me?0 -
