Paul Cook 15:15 - Dec 3 with 5494 viewscleggo

the stick that Cook is getting from the numbskulls on Twitter and here really does beggar belief.

He inherited a team that had no style, couldn’t score and may as well have not bothered turning up against any top of the table sides.

Ok, he’s been backed financially and results haven’t been great.. but we’re half way through a season and up there with the top scorers in the league and had a couple of massive results against good sides. The biggest issues have been solved, now we just need to tighten up at the other end and we’ll be flying. Get a grip and get behind the team!

Not sure i agree that it's odds against. He has history. As he pointed out in the pre-match:

“I think if you want to look back on some stats, my last season at Wigan up until Christmas, we gave more winning leads away than any team in the division. Post-Christmas, we lost one in 18 I think, it was in the Championship."

"“My job here, like when I’ve been at other jobs, Portsmouth my first year, loads of pain, got in the play-offs. Second year, won the league."

We may be frustrated at how slow progress is but i think the guy has been and still is a good manager at this level and the level above. Very happy to see mcgreal join the staff.


When you get 20 games in I think you're always odds against saying "this team is much better than its league position". Sometimes teams beat the odds, but usually not.

Bookies have us 10th favourites to make the Top 6.

As long as we stay up this year, it's a cracking season.

We’d need a large improvement over what we’re doing now. The small improvement was over our best run, but we couldn’t sustain that for very long. Or in other words we need to consistently do better than we’ve ever managed under PC. Possible, but highly unlikely. Still, it is what it is.


possible, yes, unlikely yes, but our best run only ended 4 games ago and lasted for 10 at 2 points a game, so it's not ancient history.

it does however need to start (continue, if you count crewe!) very soon

Can we disable Cookie or is he strictly necessary?


some would say he's essential!

But is he a functional Cookie? ;-)

We're mid table in the third division on a Championship budget.

Yes but apparently that doesn't mean we should expect to beat the likes for Morecambe and Cheltenham. We're all in the same division so basically we're all the same and games are essentially a coin toss.

“Cook has not yet delivered” - we are not even at Christmas yet. What exactly has he not delivered?!


a decent full back for a start.
a midfield that can put a decent tackle in, win the ball and just maybe pass the ball forward first time.
