Out of all those players that regularly constituted our entire bench under TW, only one of them actually still plays football. Only one of the others actually even got a go somewhere else. No disrespect to any of them and I'm sure they're all levels about my seven a side ability, but it's is a damning indictment that TW chose them to fill our bench while blowing our budget on unfit players from the midlands and subsidise their travel. A complete disaster, and unlike TW, AA had a real rebuild that actually improved our squad. TW inherited a reasonable squad and made it worse in nearly every way.

Re: Management
I remember seeing Glover score a penalty earlier this season for Glossop - but he does seem to have not come back from Christmas.
Re: Management
And who can forget "one of the most technically gifted players I have ever worked with" Alex 'Electric Pace' Henshall. I think Tommy said the same about Glover having a huge future in the game.
Re: Management
Somewhere between him trying to convince us Johnny Burn was as good as the Josh Heaton we sold and him releasing Phil Turnbull and signing Liam Hughes as a replacement, I lost complete faith.

Re: Management
Plus he was totally unprofessional with several senior players Dave Syers for one who should have stayed but TW tried to offload him whilst telling him he was definately in his plans, just don't get caught speeding by him trying to prove his word against yours.
Re: Management
Burn should have been better, major disappointment with how he turned out.
Hughes piled on about 2 stone between signing and then turning up for preseason training. No doubt his personal demons didn't help his cause.

Re: Management
Hughes has done quite well for Matlock, I think it is, this season.
Re: Management
Yes he’s their captain. I was hoping they would get promoted as my mate supports them. Still I can always hope Stockton get promoted on Saturday.DavidCurriesMullet wrote:Hughes has done quite well for Matlock, I think it is, this season.

Fair enough, I was relying on Google. Mind you, not setting the northern league on fire really does show how out of their depth those lads were.loan_star wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 11:30 amGlover and Stansfield have been playing this season, the latter in the northern league.H1987 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 28, 2022 10:14 amJust had a google as i'm bored at work.

Re: Management
It was Hughes who passed the ball to Thommo to assist in Thommo's wonder lob goal. One of the best goals I've seen at Blackwell Meadows.

Re: Management
I liked Hughes as a person and he clearly has some footballing talent, but he was initially signed as a midfielder and was just quite obviously incapable of playing the position due to his weight. While there's obviously personal responsibility to consider, the management are responsible for the players too.
Re: Management
Agree and certainly would hope that mental wellbeing and appropriate handling of that was prioritised over "well we signed you as a midfielder". One is literally life or death, the other is just football.H1987 wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 5:58 pmI liked Hughes as a person and he clearly has some footballing talent, but he was initially signed as a midfielder and was just quite obviously incapable of playing the position due to his weight.

Re: Management
Glover didnt seem to come back after the Christmas break mind. I don't know if he had a club after that point.H1987 wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 9:55 amFair enough, I was relying on Google.

I saw him score a penalty before that point for Glossop North End.
