Do you still support your theory of Radfords man-management skills being non-existent?

Would be incredible indeed if Radford were the coach to manage Kelly effectively when so many others haven't managed it.

It would be mind-blowingly incredible.

Exceptional talent, isn't he? Good we were in a position to bring him off early for next week. Contributed generously to our push for top 4 so far.

Said it before, but after last night I'll say it again. Watched FC since 1978 and on that form, he's the best stand off I've seen in B & W.
For a mercurial talent, his game management isn't half bad as well.

Very good rapport with fans as well. Looked delighted applauding the away end last night.

My thoughts too . One of our best signings ever .

Looked like he was enjoying himself singing old faithful in the sheds after the game too

Must be such a change for him playing in a team where he's appreciated

I noticed that. I always thought he seemed temperamental at the Dobbins, but he seems very happy.

Also seems to have bought into the culture of the club.

Of course , it's all going to go horribly wrong due to second season syndrome.

His second try didnt get much credit from the sky team who just spoke about his pace and the loose pass gifting him a try, but it was exceptional skill. Two kicks, one right foot, one left foot whilst running at pace judged to perfection. If George Williams had scored it Phil Clarke would have never shut up about it. There are only a tiny amount of players in the world that could have done it, and he made it look routine.

They showed it on the hourly sports news on BBC Breakfast this morning. The sports reporter compared it to the skill you might see at Hampden Park later.

Thanks, was trying to remember where I'd heard/seen that.

How far back are you going with this?
There was a period where it was clear that we lacked any leadership by the coach and players were underperforming, has Radford improved, yes he has.
Have the players improved in some areas, yes they have and that is down to Radford and his coaching team, however do the players under his control still make the same errors when under pressure, yes they do, do we still revert to poor play/poor discipline at times, yes we do.
Does he still have much to learn to get his charges doing what he wants them to do and to stop the peaks and troughs being so far apart, does he need to do more/improve how he coaches to instill mental fortitude and to develop strategies to reduce the chances of players being indisciplined more than currently or during games when we are under the cosh, yes he does.

I suppose you've never said anything that some period down the line isn't accurate because of changes?
But carry on dragging stuff up from the past a la Barista, just makes you more sad and pathetic than you already are.

As an aside, I was reading that an FC 'fan' has being banned or will be banned by the club for racist remarks made towards Kelly.
Did anyone know about this?

How rude, personal and insulting.
