A managers roll

[why do we do it! 0]

Okay let''s face it we have no "Sugar Daddy" to fund major investment in to the club - like most teams in our league and below. So surely the job of any manager is to work with  the players you''ve got and building a team. Look at the job that Gary Johnson has done at Bristol City - probably one of the better footballing teams we have seen at Carrow Road this season.

 Let''s forget about spend millions on players , money we haven''t got  and look for players who play well in the respctive positions, yes I agree you need some quality in a winning team. (hux during our championship winning side) the rest of the players around him were good players, but possible not great players.

 Com''on Glen and your staff lets find undeveloped talent and develope it. - but let''s try and get them on long term deals so we don''t get raped and piliaged at the end of a season by the Pirates of the premiership.

But what we do get please make them ours.

Only because we''re probably not actively looking for one!!

Difficult, isn''t it.  Buy cheap unproven players and hope they come good - or buy proven Championship journeymen and hope they perform - or get premiership loans and hope you can keep them - or push the home-grown talent and hope they prove to be good enough.

All recent managers have combined the four to some extent.  Looks like Roeder won''t be going down the last route as he doesn''t seem to rate any of them, so what do we do?

I thought this post was going to be about some kind of manager''s goal celebration or something - the manager''s roll!

ROLE dammit, ROLE!

Sorry, back to topic, it''s a good point and something that is the manager''s ''role'' to decide for himself what mix of player types he wants to go for. Roeder is clearly a fan of youth, and likes nothing more than to use youth to show up and fire up the established names wherever he can. I don''t think he''d hesitate to use our home grown youth for the same purpose if he thought they were good enough. But he doesn''t so he''s using the loanees in the hope that that also fires up our own youngsters.

But proven championship pros like dublin (now and minus a few years) huckerby, mackay when he was playing, big Iwan etc, will always and should always be part of the mix if you want to be successful. They are so important for the development of the younger players and for the maturity and experience of the team as a whole.

Or maybe we should be discussing what Glenn Roeder has for lunch?  He looks like a vegetarian to me - that slightly pasty look.
