Are we Lucky to have Micky?

[old sage]

In the light of what both Smurf says and what I am seeing on this forum I wonder what others think?

My own personal opinion is that though he can be a good motivator his tactical nous is very poor and at times his substitutions are quite frankly unbelievable.

Lets just have a squint at yesterday's events. I thought that his team selection was pretty good especially his decision to play JMW on the left. It all started to unravel when Jones came off injured. Why didn't he simply push Dickinson into his favoured left back position and put Duffy (who I don't rate I'm afraid) into the centre of defence. Instead he moved Yates over to the left and played Duffy on the right. Duffy is quite simply too slow to play at full back.

At half time he astounded many by moving Myrie who was having his best game of the season on his more natural left side, into the middle and then the 'master stroke' shortly after when he took Hughes off to replace him with Williamson who though he hit the post with a cracking effort generally offers very little in my opinion. I bet their boss Mr Jackett couldn't believe his luck!

I believe had Micky not fiddled with the team with the above changes that we would now have at least 1 if not 3 more points on the table.

Smurf says that we are lucky to have Micky, sometimes I wish 'that we weren't so lucky!!'

I will be interested to hear other posters views.

Williamson does very little.Sage you normally make valid comments.This is not one of them.

Crewe fans don't want Davis, can we do a swap

[Dastardli]

I agree with your points sage even though I am a mickey fan. The main question you have to ask though if you follow your thread is-should mickey be replaced who would come in given the image of racism and thuggery we currently seem to be projecting as a club. The constant criticism of the team from some fans cannot help either.

I think Adams will get time and for me I really hope he gets it right but I don't think he will buy into Smurfs promoting from the Youth/development squads which could be a problem in the future.

 

I like MA but I do think at some point if things don't change then Page will be our manager(having said that isn't Smurf friends with Megson or was that Wildes?)

[Andyregs]

How many times have we already said that Adams got it wrong. He is best when he doesn't have to make decisions. Being forced to pay a certain way last year was what got us promoted.

And i agree, Williamson just isn't good enough for this league. He's he hit the post, but rob Taylor has his moments too. I am genuinely confused as to what people see when he plays. He looks totally out of his depth.

My views on MA have been well documented on this forum so I'll not making a comment on your thread Mike, suffice to say.... GET YOUR TIN HAT ON

[soothsayer]

MA galvanised the club during the dark times & deserves patience to find his best 11 & formation. Yes he gets things wrong but he also gets a damn site more right. I thing we'll have a good idea of what position we will finish after 12 games as be then all teams will have played a good range of teams in the league. Keep the faith.

[Vital Spark]

Yesterday's substitutions paint their own picture. That's all I'll say.

[Yukon]

I see os is venting a good few of his bug bears in one post. It lost credibility as soon as you said Jeno was having his best game of the season just to fit into your "play him on the left" agenda. Utter nonsense

He also walked out on the club during those dark-times.

Are we lucky to have adams?..... I think the reverse is true.... I think adams is lucky to have vale

[soothsayer]

He walked out for his boyhood club when the club was relatively 'stable' not when we were in Admin. Furthermore a lot of fans were boycotting the club too at the time he went with all the B & G protests against MOLD.

"Relatively stable"?

Adams will be given time and I think Smurthwaite would let him survive a relegation
