It's not as if he hadn't already proven it repeatedly before that either.

Not a bad centre half though

Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton were pretty reasonable players but totally clueless at management as was Mark Lawrenson etc etc etc.

Jack Charlton and Kevin Keegan were the opposite though

Wasn't a lot of use to us in that role aged about 57 either?

He went to Connie on loan for a month or two, barely did anything there and wasn't asked back & seemingly no one else interested in him.

Play Reid then.

Is that Beryl you’re talking about?

Just read MF's interview about tomorrow.He still insists players have to show in training, so hope I'm wrong,but looks like same old to me.

To play devil's advocate: if the regulars are working hardest in training, and the peripheral players don't look up for it, do you think Flynn should pick the regulars who've served us well this season up until the recent blip, or pick players who hadn't performed well previously and aren't excelling in training to warrant dislodging players with more experience and match sharpness?

Not trying to catch you out; genuinely interested in your answer.

I'm more interested in the fact he seems to be saying that the players brought in during January are not up to the job.

My feeling is that training is there to keep everyone in tip top fitness,there shouldn't be a need for players to have to out do anyone or risk injury.The hard training is done pre season.The players MF has picked so far have mostly done the business but some have needed to be rested recently as their match sharpness has been lost.Also,rotation gives other players a chance and they will be fresher than the regular ones who are jaded.It would keep players on their toes and create completion for places.Spurs have had a gruelling couple of weeks,I'd be very surprised if the same eleven or so have played every game.

Think you will find very little if any change tomorrow.
All the new signings are basically not up to it.

That may be right, but we won't know unless they play. If they don't play soon, it must call MF judgement into question. Something ain't right.

So why f@@king sign them in the first place?

It doesn't need radical change.
Play a back 3 that picks itself
Swap Wilmott for Pipe.
Midfield of Labadie, Tozer, Sheehan/Dolan
Dan and Robbie down the flanks can get some crosses in as Mclousky and Amond are two of the best in the air in league 2. Frank just needs a breather.

on current form the old players aren't up to it either
