Obviously I like Cook and what he has to say, desperately want him to succeed, and know we need a complete reset at Town on and off the pitch.
But a few niggles…
Wilson stating “When the new manager [Paul Cook] came in he said pretty early that he wanted his own players and he was very honest about it.” - how early was that? Cook needed to come in and galvanise the team, put some incremental changes to system and selection and win TWO, yes 2, more than we did. And it’s the play-off lottery. Why talk about bringing in his own players until the season was over?! Listening to Blackpool players last night saying that Critchley is so clear in tactics it’s easy and always gets then right! The end of campaign was a disaster here.
Telling every player to go and get a new club ahead of the new season?! Would you not give Downes or a Dobra a chance? Can you really source a player better than Downes? Is it notvthat he needs managing and coaching? More worryingly with two key targets seemingly lost…. Can we actually bring in 15-20 players?! Is it physically possible? And if you’ve told all the players they’re not good enough what’s plan B if we can’t.
I’m sure and hope I’ll be eating my own words on this, and his a track record of large scale change at Pompey.
