Can anyone make any sense of this?
http://www.wigantoday.net/sport/football/latics/joyce-challenges-byrne-colclough-and-co-1-8432816
Colclough played over 20 times whilst out on loan, Joyce then has the balls to say Colclough is naive tactically.
You couldn’t make this up, embarrassing!
Fuck the EFL
I think we must remember that the vast majority of football managers are not highly educated men, and quite often they will make two statements that completely contradict each other:
Quote: “Ryan wasn’t really playing during his loan spell, so he had a lot of work to do when he came back.”
Fact: He actually made made 14 starts and 9 sub appearances in the 25 games played. He even played on 30 Dec!
Now if WJ had said something akin to “During the last 6 weeks of his loan spell Ryan wasn’t getting enough game time which has impacted on his fitness level” then he would not look so much of a buffoon.
But then again, I would suspect Colclough has had more game time this season than a certain Mr Grigg, who now plays 2nd fiddle to someone who was playing non-league football last season, and is anything but on fire. If anyone needs a proverbial kick up the backside its him!

These guys may be good people; but, a lot of them are really utter morons/cavemen who have very little business being in the positions that they are in, and are only there because of reputation/notoriety gained through their playing days. In theory the coaching badges/credentialing should help minimize this; but, how much do they really prove (with enough time/prep, I would guess anyone can get these, just like prepping for any professional or university entrance exams). They get the positions based on past playing days/rep, and the thought that they may have some man management/leadership qualities that are a bit more intangible – not for their speaking qualities or overall intelligence. Tactically, probably 80% of these guys aren’t any better than an average person pulled off the street with no knowledge of the game would be if you gave them 1 year to study/learn the game (again, true of most sports, not just football).
