We still need a Special Teams coach. I think they are the ones that kick the ball between the posts & punt the ball upfield for Matt Smith.

Is a line backer anything like a chew backer?

I read the first line, saw Jokanovic's name, got up and did a happy dance. Sat back down and read it properly... Now I hate you a bit.  :dft004:

Close. Linebackers don't need a spittoon,.....most of the time.

Just wait - I can see it already.

Stuart Gray turns Fulham coach job down after taking training session.


He will not want to be just a head coach and have the threat of somebody else coming in. We will continue to moan and this will drag on for weeks.


:merry christmas:

I know we are all feeling underwhelmed and uninspired by the potential appointment of Stuart Gray. But maybe it is what we need at the club now. After a few years of "big names" (Jol and Magath) and unproven managers (Rene, Kit) perhaps what we need is a steady hand just to get us back on an even keel.

There has been a whole lot of upheaval in the past few years and maybe the bigger names mentioned like Pearson, Moyes and Rodgers would just add to that. There would be a lot more pressure on the team to perform instantly and expectations would go through the roof. The players already seem short of confidence and that level of pressure might have a negative effect.

Gray seemed to do a good job at Wednesday. We have all seen the sterling defensive record he had last season with a squad with less quality than ours. I had a look on Twitter and from what I could see all the Wednesday fans had nothing but good things to say about him and wished him the best of luck. Wednesday are sitting 7th due to a big investment in Summer but I would guess that Gray gave them that base to push on by building a solid defense.

Our two biggest problems are defense and with Kit it seemed tactically he was out of his depth. Gray as proven last season managed to take perennial strugglers and turn them into a solid, tactically competent mid table team. Given the chance who knows what he could do with a defensively leaky, tactically inept mid table struggler.

It might be slightly duller and maybe the football might not be as exciting as it has been but if he can shore up the defence and get the team playing together who knows where we will end up. So definitely not the most exciting appointment but who thought Roy was?

Or he might turn it down.....

[snarks]

I think I've got to the stage where anyone with experience will do for now, and then get the right person in the summer.

Yes I'm fatalistic that the season is a write off (again)
