I think he played us all long. Have you heard anymore who we are interviewing or want to interview?

We have missed out 3 people I thought could have took us to that next level in Daniel Farke, Carlos Carvalhal and Neil Critchley. Plus Michael Beale aswell. So where we do now? how many candidates have we actually interview and we is Pasha and Waggott struggling to pick a first choice or someone to recommend to the owners to appoint. I don't see clear and obvious choice out there to appoint. Woodgate is a guess from me and nothing more. I'm hopeful an appointment will be made before the weekend(11/12th of June) since the players return on the 13th June with no fitness coaches at the club and no head of medicine services. So we can appoint people to these roles. No not any coach can do, That why you employed specialise coaches to do it or proper trained and qualified physios. We haven't had personal in those positions for years so why have each of the 3 people got to PL clubs or one of the top clubs in Germany. Head of Medicine services Andy Mitchell left us for Red Bull Leipzig. Our Lead Athletic Performance Coach Liam Mason left for the role on Newcastle fitness staff Our number 2 athletic performance coach Jack Dowling left for a similar at Everton No I wouldn't think mad or angry or anything like that about it. What good would it do anyway? Whoever we appoint I want to the reason why we appoint this candidate and what make him the right choice. where has his name came from? He is the director of football who was at Leicester and Everton.

Thanks for sharing what Nixon's article is. I have no access to it. I have not paid for it I've seen the same comments and its a done deal. A couple of days ago the same person was saying he was Waggott's first choice. Someone has backed Ferguson in the past day of so for his odds to go odds on. Some people know something or think they do

didn't see the game but what was the Channel 4 coverage like?

I total agree with his last words of this video. nothing better than watching your team live in a stadium seting

Missed most of today's cricket but watched the 90 mins of play. England need another 61 runs. Root and Stokes played very well and put us in this position. Will watch highlights after Platinum Party at the Palace on BBC 1

Players are back Monday the 13th of June. We have no senior fitness coaches or head of physio/sport science/medicine at the club now

Lets hope this is sort by this week with the appointment of the Head coach and some new staff members aswell Looks like Farke won't be coming here. So I am expecting Jonathon Woodgate with Robbie Keane to be appoint head coach and assistant head coach here. But can we expect a surprise appointment by Waggott and Rovers.

Lets hope England can get early wickets and make the new ball count. Going to a very good day of cricket hopefully for England

Read an article about Les Ferdinand who was explaining how they appointed Michael Beale. He said they spoken to over 20 people about the vacancy there and any appointment need a backing in development. Ferdinand details head coach recruitment process (qpr.co.uk)

Mitchell and Blundell played very well on a flat pitch which is doing nothing at all. Not spinning either. England bowlers kept going. Thought Matt Parkinson done well on a pitch showing no sign of spin. The game is very much in the balance for me and England have a new ball after 1 over of play tomorrow. Day 3 looks like another batting day Stokes had 6 man on the leg side.

The pitch has gone very flat now. I'm surprised Matt Parkinson hasn't bowled more. Stokes's tactic of trying to bounce them out isn't working. Pitch too flat for that. I would rather try bowling at the wickets with a 5/4 field and with short extra cover and short mid wicket in place with a slip in place

If the rumour is correct about Ainsworth then we are still interviewing candidates according to other sources.

maybe the people interviewing don't hold the same opinion as we do. He wouldn't be the worst choice we could appoint but he isn't a choice to take us to that next level. Cos that what the next head coach needs to do. Maybe Woodgate might be able to take us promotion. who knows. There is nothing wrong with interviewing a number of candidates and then pick the right one.

Matt Parkinson now bowling. good first over

Lewis Travis

But did better at Bournemouth with better players. Could he do good with our squad and improve on last season? that the real and proper question? probably not

Waggott, Pasha, Cheston and Silvester all there Who knows what is going on. LT doesn't say he is deffo going. Says they are still in talks but he might be going elsewhere. Hedging his bets Sharpe there. here is the story for you to see what you think https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1131320758?-11198:839

All depends on the reasons he left. maybe he doesn't want to be number 1 anymore and wants to go back to being a coach again or maybe he is unhappy the budget there for the coming season

I already explained by the post you quoted. What more do you want?

Its fair point but you still need to keep the scoreboard ticking over and can't just block after block. You have to look to score even off the great bowlers and I look at how we played Shane Warne in the 2005 series. he will take wickets whether you block or looking to score so you got to score when you can but we sensible in defending.

Supposedly he is having talks with Borussia Monchengladbach Players returned for pre season training and fitness check on the 13th of June. Question is who is going to be doing the fitness and medical checks when we got no fitness coaches in the senior coaching staff setup and no head of medical services and 1 senior physio in the senior staff set up. Are we going to using academy staff to be doing these like like the academy head of sport science and medicine Russ Wrigley

He won 13 games out of 23 games there and got them a playoff place
