    When your team is 2 nil down and the players  are "not passing the ball forward, not taking responsibility" how do you justify standing impassively on the touchline and leaving any substitutions until the 75th minute?
    Do you understand that there are no fewer points available from being 2 nil down but points are available if your team scores 2 or more goals?
    If your players aren't doing what you told them to do and you are losing the match, why would you not start utilising the 3 opportunities to make as many as 5 substitutions?

    If you have 1 🍎 and you take 1 🍎 away, what does that leave you with?

    Well Michael, Northampton Town tomorrow evening and back at the Valley. Are you looking forward to the home fans getting behind you?

    Q. "Would you mind if a dozen fans who are compos mentis (most are so damaged including me that may be too many)watch and listen to you in training and see how you communicate with the squad as it looks like you just say to them run around a bit and don't worry about smiling" ?

    A. "I don't think I will still be here but a good idea for the next incumbent to allow a dozen selected sober fans with a note book to watch and listen. In fact it might be best if they take the session."

    Q "Do you spend time in the afternoon doing extra drills as the team struggle with set pieces whether attacking or depending?

    A. "I would like to stay in the afternoon and do that but many of the guys have afternoon Tee off times where they can walk around and not get bollocked on the golf course when they miss the target or shank the ball".

    Parting shot from the soapbox: "Goodbye and I wish I could say it was a pleasure".

    If you don't mind I'll be adding this to my vlog assuming he's still in the dugout for Northampton,

    Unreal

     I'm sure we've had live tweets direct from the press conferences before. This sounds well off to me.

    Not for quite a long time
  • That press conference release from Richard Crawley is utterly bizarre. Am I the only person who feels that way ?

    Thanks. Made me burst out laughing in a silent office and three people came over so see what I was looking at. 

    One of the best posts ever;

    It feels TOO formal - Almost as if to ensure there can be no uncertainty / doubt over any of the quotes

    e.g. “I did take training this morning and yes this is me now – it’s not pre-recorded.”

    Nothing wrong with this approach, but why not just do that all the time if this is normal behaviour?

    I think that just means he's aware of the rumour and how theories pass around. It was a bad attempt at a joke IMO
  • Cheers for the updates Richard,.Trust your boss was happywith the hits.

    So Pep and Arteta are performing seals !

    Even in the surreal world of Charlton Athletic I can only Believe that the ITK's didn't pick up on he has one last chance to get a good 100 minute performance or at lease fluke a win.

    Another Turkey tomorrow evening and he will know what Andy Scott is going to say.

    The only person I can remember being sacked straight after a press conference was Leroy Rosenior as there had been a take over at Torquay.
    That was Surreal as the press conference was about the fact Leroy had just been appointed and he lasted 10 minutes !

    Football is bonkers.

    simply has to win tomorrow night with a convincing performance or I'm sure he's gone, I suspect he's been told that too

    To be fair Pep and Arteta get on my tits sometimes.
    I mean, I like to see managers/coaches being pro-active on the touchline - taking the opportunity to pass instructions, bawl out a player not doing his job etc.
    But celebrating goals like 10 year old children  - ffs show a bit of dignity. Leave the excessive celebrations to the players
