Old School Vs New School Managers
Brian Little - Poor Dean Saunders - Threw Money at it Andy Morrell - Closest we've ever got to promotion Kevin Wilkin - Start of the negative football? Gary Mills - Nuff has been said really Dean Keates - Boring football but got the results Sam Ricketts - Again boring football but got the results Graham Barrow - Same squad as Ricketts but can't get the results Any manager we have needs to be a disciplinarian. Quite a few people on here have said that Ricketts and Keates were both like this, picking people up for little things. With Barrow + Mills you get the impression its the old school mates club were infractions are looked the other way. Speaking to an ex football player last week he always thought that affected things on the pitch in that you thought you could do your own thing. |

Re: Old School Vs New School Managers
I thought at the time that when Ricketts left, we should have taken our time and found a new school manager to carry on the modern techniques put in place by Keates and Ricketts. I know that Barrow worked with Martinez, so he may be continuing with the building blocks put in place by Keates and Ricketts, but I fear he may be old school.
I felt we were going in the right direction with Keates and Ricketts, slowly improving the team, hard to beat if not particularly exciting. Ricketts was building on the solid base put in place by Keates. It doesn’t make sense that 2 seasons running the assistant manager stepping in has struggled to get the same players to be hard to beat, and we lose our clean sheets and concede goals every game. Salford, in form Bromley and Fylde were all potentially losable games, however I have a feeling that Ricketts may have managed to dig out some goalless draws.

Re: Old School Vs New School Managers
I think the issue is largely we have lost that extra couple of % Ricketts brought us in terms of intensity or training and preparing to face particular opposition.
The old school "let them worry about us" approach is what did for Mills and Barrow is cut from the same cloth unfortunately. |
