Looking unlikely now isn't it. You'd want coaches in as soon as the head coach came in to set about new ideas. Looks like we're just going to go with the old set up and expect new tricks.

It’s not great like mate. As you say, a new manager needs his own coaches to bring new ideas. These two working with largely the same players isn’t overly likely to yield big changes, regardless of who picks the team and formation
 
At least RLB looks like it could run from one-side of the pitch to the other without hawking up his guts - couldn't say the same thing about our present coaching staff or previous manager!

Old set up, couple of freebies and a loan or two and utilising what was already here.

Expecting miracles whilst hanging him out to dry likely. Bloke doesn't stand a chance.

Not so sure.

The club have done brilliantly in dampening expectations with that 16th place finish. Talk of play offs and promotion this season has given way to talk of finishing midtable or breaking the top 10. At least the lads will look smart as f#ck achieving that tho.

Almost starting to feel like we've been hoodwinked, I'm sure RLB will feel the same if we haven't made any significant signings or additions to the coaching staff before the seasons starts.

You might be right. If we can keep some key players fit, which we couldn't last season with the left backs, then simply improving style and finishing higher up may look like progress.

I do think we'll have difficultly scoring regularly or with penetrative forward play though if we don't sign a striker and if we have the likes of Jobe playing in advanced midfield roles.

Disagree with you there pal, hes not up to being head coach. He was part of the coaching team when we got promoted and when we reached the play offs. Time showed though he's not cut out for being the main man

Aye, seems the hunt for an assistant and some coaches has all but disappeared. Was it just hot air by the club to appease the fans until we got distracted by pre season and new kits?

My thoughts entirely, as expected Speakman has his mate and his mate as coaches. If totally true we have another eyes man at the helm.

I’m not saying he is or will be, it’s the fact that he’s Speako’s man and I’m surprised in a way That the new coach / manager has agreed to this if that actually is the case.We are now finding out that assistants or whatever are reluctant to come here knowing that Speakman is in charge of all football matters .
