I asked that. Is it not a fair question in the context of the character of last year's team having been so widely questioned? Of the feeling having been that a goal went in and then that was that? I couldn't see last year's team having come from behind in a game twice to draw, could you? |  | | |

It's about mindset. Not sure that's a bad question. |  |

Thought it was a great question, getting to the crux of the different mentalities. |  |

No I wouldn't have seen them getting back into the game and personally think that's an obvious answer so not sure why it was asked tbh. What was the hope " No chance, those guys were sht "
Of course as a Journo, entirely your choice what you ask and it's not for me to tell you not to obviously but just not surprised he hates press conferences when asked about last years squad which was clearly not good enough otherwise he wouldn't have shipped them all out. | |

What was he supposed to ask? It's a league one press conference. | |

....I've ever seen asked.
Whoever asked it is obviously a journalist of great intelligence and integrity. | |

Journalists rarely ask a question if they don't know the answer already, they're interested more in how the question is answered.... |  |

This post reminds me of Four Weddings:
Charles : How's your gorgeous girlfriend?
John : She's no longer my girlfriend.
Charles : Ah, dear. I wouldn't get too gloomy about it. Rumour has it she never stopped bonking Toby de Lisle in case you didn't work out.
John : She is now my wife. |  |

I thought he might say something about that being something he wanted to change, that being a weakness he wanted to remove, something like that and give the current team a bit of praise. | | | |

I get it, but we've already heard how important character is, we know what he thinks of the previous players, and he's always saying don't look back etc,
I just think it goes against what's being asked of the media personally. | |

Whenever I see your posts I'm reminded of a wise saying (which I may have subtly altered to reflect the digital age)….
It's better to just let people think you are really annoying than keep posting and prove it beyond doubt |  | | |

Goes against what's being asked of the media? Not sure what that means. | | | |

It's not the media's job to bow over every time to the clubs wishes. That would be a pretty poor journalist who sat there and went, "hang on Cookie asked me not to ask about the past, best cross anything thats happened off my list".
The post match on Monday would be exceptionally dull. | |

Gillingham (I think) being a prime example. Went one down, got back to 1-1 and went on to lose 3-1. |  |
