Snapperone Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Pressley???? Keep him as far away as possible from the under 21s!!!!!!! Absolute numpty This. One hundred times this. He took us out of the Premier League, winning none of his final five games (post-split) against the poorest teams in the league. For every year he remained in charge in the First Division we finished further and further behind (in terms of points) of the eventual champions. His record at Falkirk only looked good because he had the luck to unearth two decent strikers who came here as trialists, and who each hit 28 and 29 goals per season; Farid El Alagui and Lyle Taylor. He was also fortunate to have some very talented youngsters emerging from the youth teams. His biggest failure IMO is that he was a feartie. He set up teams up to contain the opposition, defend deep and played with a lone striker who sat so far back he was almost a third centre-half. Pressley was terrified of losing and played safety-first football. The TA didn't like 460 in Prague. Well I watched Falkirk play almost as defensively every week against the giants of football like Dumbarton, Cowdenbeath & Stirling Albion. Keep him away from the Scotland U21s please.

wanderer Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thought we had another starlet. There is a 3rd Harper brother playing at some Spanish youth academy (think he is about 15-ish) who is hotly tipped to do just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
