Reply | Cook will get it right (n/t)

I hope he does and ideally soon (I'm visiting my parents in Suffolk soon from North Carolina and will be at the Sheff Wed and maybe Shrewsbury games, suffering via Ifollow at the moment). I'm unimpressed with Cook so far - he took over a team with some at least half decent players, with potential and who had been at the club for a while (Downes, Dozzell, Bishop, Norwood) and instead of building on that - taking the attitude the playoffs were possible and instilling that confidence in the players, he undermined their confidence by saying they could basically all leave. Somewhat disrespectful. As a manager your job is to get the best out of the resources you have, which he clearly hasn't been able to do so far. Unless he gets some input from someone appropriate, why should that change in 2-3 weeks ? By bringing in so many new players he's created a huge challenge for himself which he hasn't shown he can meet. Do the players want to play for him - given the (IMO) disrespectful way he treated the players when he came to the club ? Do they trust him ? Can they see something going forward that they want to buy into ? I hope he can turn things around but I haven't seen any evidence he can do that and that's worrying. He needs to instil confidence in the players but if they don't have confidence in him that's going to be difficult. |

No, too emotionally invested. I was first taken to PR by my father in mid-70's to see Liverpool. I was at OT to see us beat Man U staying in the First Division and preventing them winning it. Left UK in 1992 but have followed Town while in US, Denmark Angola and China. Took a train 200 miles in Denmark to find somewhere to watch the playoff final. In North Carolina now, suffering through the Ifollow matches. One of the staff at my local YMCA remarkably has a Town shirt. I will time my visit to the UK next season so I can take in a game at PR hopefully with my father who is in his 80's and has developing Alzheimers, but we can still talk football ! |
