Saints to unveil new coach

[Rob_the_Saint]

Well that's what it said in the Observer so it must be true. I didn't see any new faces, or any unveiling ceremony last night, so has it all fallen through?

Is that official webbo, or just bar talk?

[AFF]

Oi! Webbo! You miserable S.o.B.

 

I read the Chairman's Notes in the matchday programme last night and, for once, I didn't know what he was on about. Having read your three contributions to the board this afternoon, the penny has dropped.

Hi Rob.

 

There's a photograph on the web-site of gary Crawshaw shaking hands with that chap who helps out in the Supporters Club shop. Perhaps Gary was unveiling the new coach?

[GHA EFM]

No-one else saw it? Big shiny black thing, 4 wheels, parked out the front, brick through the window, claret everywhere, tyres stabbed up?

[The Lyrical Tarantula]

When Steve Cook said it's someone who's well known to the club, was I the only one thinking maybe the return of a bit of a legend (Clarky for example) when instead we get a average player who played for a while on loan here.

[GHA EFM]

According to the St. Albans Observer, it's Freddie Hyatt. Interesting that I was thinking maybe the return of a bit of a legend (Clarky for example) when instead we get a average player who played for a while on loan here.

i think the 4 wheel version with CD/radio combo will be better.....

[GHA EFM]

Out on a limb, I bet the leather-seated option has more badges as well.

Er, hasn't Clarky retired? Don't think he's even coaching anyone either.

 

What's wrong with North Mymms Travel anyway?

[GHA EFM]

Clarky retired from the playing side of football, didn't he? If he's not coaching anyone, he's more likely to be able to coach us, surely. Does anyone at the club have his number? Oh, no, wait, we've just appointed a new coach.

I'll bet we owe them £thousands, all due to the previous 'Harding Reich.'

[Rob_the_Saint]

Sigh! What I meant, GHA, was I don't belive he (Clarky) has ever coached any team, despite having a coaching badge. As the position is player/coach he hardly qualifies (unfortunately) on either count.

 

Keep up the good work, GHA.

[GHA EFM]

I thought Clarky coached at Bishop's Stortford, Aylesbury, Canvey or another.

 

The position is player/coach? How can you be so sure?

 

Tony Adams is available, isn't he? No, wait, the position's been filled. I must write that down.

[AFF]

Just an observation.

 

On Tuesday evening, we played the dreaded 3-5-2. [it worked a treat. Enfield didn't look like scoring many.]

 

The midfield was Standen, Challinor, Oakes, Wright and Rogers. Kean was on the bench. Smith is injured.

 

If that chap what ghost writes the Managers page in the matchday programme and The Observer is right, is Freddie Hyatt going to be player coach? If so, might we be treated to an experimental 1-8-1 formation before the season is out?

[GHA EFM]

What AFF means to say is the midfield was Oakes, Challinor, Standen, Young, and Hodges. I think.

[herts blue]

The same person doesn't write the manager's page and the Observer (you expect ALL that for your £50k?). I do have a real job to do as well you know.

[AFF]

Not the same person?

 

NOT THE SAME PERSON?

 

Well there are remarkable similarities between the Managers page in the matchday programme, and the press coverage in the Herts Advertiser and The Observer. Whoever it is that's impersonating Cookie should not make any comments about anything until the Club issue 'official confirmation'. Just like the web-site doesn't.

 

Cue Webbo and Rob......

[Rob_the_Saint]

I have it on rather shaky authority (no, not webbo) that our new coach could be wheeled into action (ho, ho) as early as tomorrow, so watch this space, the bench, the tunnel, or wherever.

 

Stortford seem gutted to lose him so he just could be the man to kick-start (is that another pun?) our season again. I sincerely hope so.

When will he learn eh?

 

It's the only option, surely. The wing-backs drop in when we're defending, but push on when we attack.

 

Have you learned nothing from my contributions. Just like TV Tel & his immortal "tips". And we all know what happened to him - exiled to Leeds of all places.

 

Trust me, there is no future in 4-4-2.
