Luton v Grimsby thread

Who do you think the potential candidates are Lew? As for Buckley, it'd be a no from me but I don't understand how his last spell was 'a total flop'. Woods' spell was a total flop.

How has the Luton match thread turned into "who will be the next town manager?" thread??
Still too early to be discussing this IMHO, (despite what people may have supposed from previous comments of mine  )

A flop in comparison to his previous stints.

As for candidates, well it's all great naming all these names but you never know how things are going to work out. For what it's worth I think Hurst will stay, I don't see a reason why he wouldn't. If we were to get a new face in the number one target should be Burr for me and we should move mountains to get him.

Frank Womack.

Ah !  the good old days,

When every team played 2  3  5   and went out to win a game,

Not , trying not to lose one.

I THINK WE SHOULD REVERT BACK TO THAT SYSTEM AND SEE HOW WE GET ON.

I wasn't around for those good old days but an old chap who sits behind me was.  He shut two blokes up who was arguing about who was the best Town manager one was obviously saying AB and this old boy put his hands on both their shoulders and said 'Frank Womack'

The look on their faces was brilliant and they stopped arguing

It was before my time as well,

BUT

My dad went to every game and kept a record of all the home games, scores, scorers  attendence and a little report of the game,

All I wanted of my dads when he died was the books he kept the records in,

BUT

Living down here some other family member cleared the house out before I got there and  must have thrown them away,

That made me even more upset if I was not grieving enough !!!!!!!

Why not someone like groves or even Appleton?

Anyway.....Back on topic!

Had Luton had anything like a striker worthy of the name the game may well have been put beyond Town by the break. Shaun Pearson's headed clearance in time added on at the end of the first half was absolutely fantastic.
We don't play 4-3-3 as both wingers continue to be isolated out wide with far too much space between them and J-L. I thought Rodman looked dangerous but mainly when he did come inside. It defies understanding that our midfield, knowing that J-L spends most of his time with his back to goal, don't support him more for a short lay off.

The second half was much better from the point of view of approach play but any team that leaves goalscorers who consistently achieve double figures on the bench can hardly expect to see an end product.
Neilsen looked O.K. when he came on but Cook was left out of the action for far too long. As for Hannah not getting any game time....

Ginny is right. It's boring to watch.

Just to point out that I did not in this thread suggest AB IV, I merely put recent performances in the context of the pathetic rewriting of his previous stints at the club, which some people see fit to diminish at every opportunity.  

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

He doesnt need to "know" players though to get the current crop playing surely?

I dont think his last tenure was a disaster anyway - what would we give for that disaster now eh?

John  Still is older than Buckley isnt he ( not absolutely sure) but if a John Still type manager with Buckleys qualifications applied when a vacancy arises we would be interested surely.

Never say never - if I had more confidence in the "board" making the right choice of applicants then fair enough, but with their previous shockers I would say Buckley would be a safe pair of hands for an interim period.      

That team was dreadful and he was lucky he was sacked or his record of no relegations would have gone. Great in his first two stints but he'd lost the sparkle in his last spell.
