Batman without Robin.
I am concerned about this. He seems to concentrate on the Bournemouth players rather than our own in the warm up and his record as a manager isn't good.
I also thought it odd that Robbo said he brought Harford in as the players weren't frightened of him any more. I know this was probably tongue in cheek and would Fergie Snr ever say that?
The players need to be a bit scared of the manager and see the Assistant as their buddy. Gorman was developing players like Jabo, while Harford is reported falls out with them. I have also heard rumours that Harford is a bit too fond of the drink. If true does it impact on his job?
The shooting in the warm was poor as well, especially by Izale, so Iwan't surprised when he missed them in the match. I wonder if Ian Wright is the best person, in previous matches he even seemed to have difficulty laying off the ball for them to shoot.
If we don't improve if I was Winkie I would say thanks to Harford but no thanks. We should be able to do better.

To be honest the season is turning into a disaster.
If we dont go up this year, which unless we put a massive run together is very unlikely, we will struggle next season.
There will be a player exodus, and a further drop in attendances.

Anyway the manager or assistant cant stop players getting sent off, when the red mist comes down.

I don't know anything about Mick with his drink, and I don't want to make any acquisitions that'd offend him.
I hate to say I don't trust him, but I don't think he's what we need. Gorman was like a farther to both the players and Robinson, he and Karl clicked so easily. I just don't think he and Harford have that sort of relationship.

I did think whether I should refer to the rumour as the person who told me clearly didn't like Harford and presumably did like Gorman, but it fitted in his image of a hard man and I thought it might impct on his job.
I guess it's up to Robbo and Winkie who they have as assistant and whether the relationship is there. I know it is difficult for Mick as Gorman was a hard act to follow and if we are not reaching the same standards then the finger is going to be point at him, especially with his links with Luton.
I just don't get the same vibe with Harford with the players and even the fans. To may be a different style, but I feel Gorman's style is better.
He doesn't even do any of the press interviews Gorman used to do and by all accounts John had time for everyone, while no one mentions any chat with Mick.

I really can't see what Wrighty has been doing, either th strikers are unteachable or he is a rubbish teacher.
Winkie should get rid of him. Same with Mick, if he isn't adding value then what is the point of having him.
