So this afternoon I am looking to see if Dougie has learnt anything over the international break. In particular, will he follow Hodgson's lead in allowing his players to perform less cautiously and fearfully.....and thus entertainingly?
Given that his normal set-up has hardly been a roaring success, he has little to lose and he might just find that his "inspired" control-possession-at-the-back idea has a more successful alternative.
Certainly, on the few occasions where we have attacked positively from the start, we have tended to score early and dominate........until fear creeps in again and we meekly surrender possession and territory, and resort to clinging on for grim death.
I want to see him rouse himself and his troops (including those sleepy ones beside him on the bench) to passion, animation and encouragement. If you are not going to be sacked, start to earn your corn, man!

Should I seek medical advice?

Yes thats what I'm saying. Sometimes the teams have been announced and I think he's actually got it right for a change. But then they perform poorly and I think its down to the system being too rigid not allowing for any creativity. Doesn't matter what players get put in they're not able to do what they're good at. Brendan Rodgers was playing the same way at Swansea, fast attacking football that killed teams. He's incorporated the same style with slightly better players and the success is there to be seen. Think thats the difference. That's his philosophy, Dougies as he's said is 0-0 try to snatch a win. So in training instead of working on quick passing, movement, picking out runs, triangle passing, etc we'll be working on absorbing pressure, defending set pieces(11 in the box), and probably running out the clock and frustrating teams, taking the tempo out of the game and silencing the crowd(Including ours playing at home) If i'm wrong I'm sure I'd see a more animated Dougie and Lennie on the touchline but they seem like everything is going to plan unless we're 2-0 down. Dougie had relative success when we had Dawson on loan and he thinks he can play that way over the course of a season. So be it but you live by the sword and die by it and so far Dougie is dying. I don't have the answers for the life after Dougie, just hoping for an attack minded coach who is willing to take a chance on the youth and try and get some entertainment back to the fans. I will get shut down here but I wouldn't mind seeing Rene Mulhensteen given a chance. Yes, i've probably lost you now and you'll scoff at his managerial career and tell me how he's a number 2 but he talks a good game and didn't have the easiest job and Man Utd were a much worse team when he left. Could do worse but I wouldn't let Gartside appoint our new tea lady. You shouldn't get 5 bites of the cherry. Actually macron that's not a bad shout, he may be relatively untried and didn't really get a fair chance at Fulham but there's no doubting he is a good coach and can work with and improve players. That's at least something he's actually proved unlike Freedman but unless Gartside goes I can't see any real change and Freedman's replacement would just be yet another "yes" man. Hopefully when failure of DF is shortly confirmed and he goes Slimeside will walk with him but knowing him he'd have to be levered out of the place.

Something tells me that given the very recent news of the approval of the 1700 homes at the Horwich Loco Works, I can't help thinking that Ed and Fartside will have some input or involvement which will either line their deep pockets or raise both their media profiles!! I might be talking out of my crevice but there'll be some connection with Eddies 'Free'School' and the continuing development of Middlebrook alongside the Housing scheme. Funding for the team will be playing second fiddle and I firmly believe that football is the last thing on both their minds, so therefore, any thoughts of DF going and someone like Mulensteen coming in are so far off the mark, I only wish it could happen

I've got everything against Gartside, I can't stand the guy but blaming him for the loco works development is hilarious ! Surprised nobody has blamed Df for the 1700 loco works housing development yet!!
