Hodgy

Post by Hog »

Have I missed his retirement?

A couple of the videos from the US both mention Brown being the new goalkeeping coach - had Hodgy called it a day (or was he pushed?)

I'm pretty sure it was announced that we will have 2 goalkeeping coaches with both Hodgy and Brown. I imagine Hodgy will want to start to slow down sooner rather than later and Brown's appointment is probably the start of that process.

Two goalkeeping coaches but no specialist coach for our forwards. I know goalkeeping is a specialist position but scoring goals is quite important too and I don't think we've got too much of an idea in that department at times.

Agreed. Wilder, Melville and Mad Dog all defensively minded players. Up front coach would be money well spent methinks.

An attacking coach ?

Have we EVER had one ?

Denis Smith was a rock solid centre half and Malcolm Crosby was a defensive
midfielder but we were attractive to watch going forward. Brian Horton was
also an anchor man in midfield. Jim Smith was also a defender.

David Kemp on the other hand was a prolific goal scorer for Portsmouth
and Plymouth!

It's a red herring for me.

I live in hope that Slumdon will one day take on David Kemp.

No....it was only announced today!
Will Brown continue playing/be happy to sit on the bench each Saturday, or will he take more of a backroom role, opening things up for Max Crocombe to be #2?

Wonder whether Mr Turley will ever return to help/replace Mr Brown once he finishes at Banbury?

Once he's finished what in Banbury?

I thought Turley was at Brackley? Not that that would stop him eating cakes...

I've never met Hodgy's wife but is she as big as Chris Williams suggests?
