Phil Brown on 5 Live Sports Extra Tonight

[lobalong]

Our manager is on 5 live sports extra tonight covering the WBA v Arsenal Capital One cup tie .. Just waiting to see if he refers to us in anyway ...........

 

[Southend Pier]

I would have thought in the situation we're in at the moment and with 48 hours to go before the next League Game he'd be more focused on our game. if our game was 4 or 5 days away then fine but 2 nights before he really ought to be wracking his brains about our match.

 

[Shrimpin]

What do you think he should be doing for our match at 9 pm?

 

[Southend Pier]

doesn't have to be anything to do with physicality. but he can plan which you can't do enough of and work out how you'll say the many things he has to say to the players and simplying it when doing so. can't afford to bodge it so you don't want it rushed cramming everything to the last min.

 

[Southend Pier]

Simplifying I meant to say. And no not a slight on Brown I'd say this with any manager at any team or in any field. Once or twice I've seen managers do things for sky directly the evening before. don't think that's right. I wouldn't do it if it were a night or 2 nights beforehand.

 

[chapperzUK]

He should already know what his game plan is by now so he can implement it into training this week. I don't see a problem with it personally.

 

[Southend Pier]

that's fair enough. but full commitment to your own team within 48 hours of the next league game shows you care in abundance and represents ultra professionalism.

 

[chapperzUK]

True, you rarely see any of the top managers doing this sort of thing.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Just keeping his media career going for when he gets the axe from Ron.

He hasn't had a clue so far this season. What makes you think he has now?

 

[buffalowolf]

yes you can also think to much about a game and this in itself is not good, think too much and things become complicated, its good that he has something on the side to do ,it can help him relax and think more clearly.also im sure he has already made his plans and tactics for the forthcoming game.Get off the mans back ,im pretty sure he knows more about his job than anyone on here does or thinks they do .

 

[WightShrimper]

And I hope he abstains from any sexual activity in the week leading up to a match.

Same old. Heres a question for you. What did you do with your spare time when were riding high under tilly? Shrimperzone must have been in mourning from your negativity.

Blimey, I'm going to stand up for Wiggy. Wiggy hasn't said anything different to a number of other posters on here.

Switched on during the game, PB was asked his thoughts on the Di Canio sacking, his words were 'one point from 5 games is just not good enough', I kid you not.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Win tomorrow and PB will be back in favour again, the word 'fickle' comes to mind. Who'd be a football manager? COYBB

No it isn't which is why Phil has been making sure the players are aware of that, in public. Nothing to do with him at all :dim:

He's just awaiting the Shrimperzone poll on who should be his full backs for fridays match ...

Absurd.

As we now know Paul Sturrock used to spend very little time on the training pitch with the team.

How much time does Brown really need to spend wracking his brains out? Does he really need 16 hours a day to make a decision?

...blimey he gets about apart from where it really matters...this is your team where you have won sod all games, get on with it or get out!

Get on with what? The players only train till lunchtime, what should he be doing at that time ?

Oh dear, if he did say that then that is absolutely hilarious.
