Old Shuck 183 Posted October 14, 2009 If I might reply to the original post and point BBB was making?Yes, seems Culverhouse has had a very big impact and influence. Makes me think of that which John Deehan had, under Mike Walker-neither functioned as well without the other, as has been shown. Lambert clearly values and appreciates Culverhouse''s coaching ability, but Crook''s should not be dismissed too lightly either.Clever statements as well-suggesting, rightly, that there was little or no confidence about the place last season, despite, theoretically, there being better players there, and now, so-called "lesser" players are performing well because they have that and the good coaching behind them-as is often quoted by our players (and what a joy, all but one are "ours"!), everyone knows what their job/role is and how to do it. Makes a difference.We''re a better team. Its a shame we haven''t still got Sammy C as I think we would have been even better if he was still here. But have we missed Croft or Marshall? Not a bit. And are players like Doc and Russell performing better and with more discipline? Probably.Lambert and Culverhouse are making big strides forward here. And Chippy can perhaps worry less about what the Manager is trying to do (as he might have been doing under Gunn!) and focus more on his coaching role. One swallow doesn''t make a summer, there is a long way to go, and there will be bad days, bad results, and inquests a plenty, before May still. But those positive signs are there.

Mr.Carrow 376 Posted October 14, 2009 Really wouldn`t surprise me if Culverhouse were a top coach. One of our most underrated players ever and very sharp imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted October 14, 2009 I don''t think many of these lads would have been given the chance to show what they are capable of if we were still playing at higher level. Quite honestly I think a lot of British footballers are flung on the scrap heap merely because so many clubs seem to have adopted the attitude that foreign "talent" is best. It''s a sure bet that young players need to be pushed on and used in the first team in order to maintain progress in their careers. Would Roeder have blooded so many young boys? I very much doubt it.
