The massive change around in the way Rovers are playing is not by luck, Cocko knows how players think but more importantly he has the ability to inspire exceptional efforts.
First, unlike Clarke’s ‘project’ bollocks players in possession of the shirt know they will keep it if they perform not lose it and only play once in three weeks.
Second, match fitness comes only with consistently playing not just fart arsing around for a few hours training a week.
Third, combinations, style of play and consistency come from playing the same players week in week out not swapping the side around because some bloody fancy algorithm suggests you should.
Most importantly he’s has a spine of steel, a fire in his guts and the determination to drive the side forward at a level I haven’t seen since Gerry Francis became the manager.
He should be appointed Manager lmmediately to allow him the maximum time throughout January to unload surplus players, build the team around his style of play and drive the club forward.
Get your arse in gear Wael and get it done!.

I'm far from convinced. There are so many other skills that a manager needs over the longer term, and I've no idea whether or not he has them or has the ability to get them sufficiently quickly
Having said that, he's barely put a toe wrong in 2 weeks (I'm not sure if the Payne news is good or bad), which is a blinding start. And he's probably a cheaper option. And he knows the gaff, which gives him a head-start over others. And he knows that these things don't come along very often, so to make the most of his experience he REALLY wants the job
He's making it difficult for them not to give it to him for the rest of the season
For once, the board have a nice dilemma to have

Cocko the clown surely not -much prefer GC to be honest. I am hearing unconfirmed reports that a certain Mickey F is seriously being considered by our Board and could arrive after their cup run at Leicester is over and may well bring some of yours favourite past master and trolls confidant -a certain Lenny Lawrence and even Lord B ? Compensation could be a problem mind you.
Don't shoot me I am only the messenger.

That must be the ‘project bollocks’ that brought us two promotions.
Such short memories.

I'm wondering what the players think. That can be an important contributing factor, although they know that these situations require them to say nothing of any substance at all

Bookies have Coughlan 1-4, Flynn 4-1 and cotterill 6-1. Caretaker/interim manager deemed permanent manager if 10 games completed. He's already been here for 4.
I still think the Board will go with the fans 'choice'. I would imagine that would be just until the end of the season.
This might repair some of the reputational damage that the Board have suffered recently (well about 15 months).
Coughlan knows the Club.
Extricating Flynn from Newport would involve money and an ability to negotiate. Neither of which I have seen any evidence from with respect to our lords and masters.
More importantly for Dwane Sports, Coughlan is cheap. UTG.

Newport's results of late make me not even want to consider Flynn. Why replace a man (GC) who has a winning run with someone who has the opposite? I am not totally convinced that GC is the right choice but am definitely sure that Flynn is not. As much as Dc's tactics and style was against my football philosophy I have to admire his results and achievements and say it is a very difficult job to replace him.
GC might be the cheap option but it could also be the right option. Only time will tell but whoever gets the job let us as supporters get behind him and be the 12th man like we were at Oxford yesterday.

That can be an important contributing factor, although they know that these situations require them to say nothing of any substance at all It was interesting to hear Lee Brown being interviewed on Having A Gas, after DC left, and saying that his biggest ability was man management skills. Conversely, I had wondered whether DC's management of LB, last year, had contributed to him leaving: someone who had been an ever-present being dropped for a younger loan player, who didn't look to me to be ready, or anywhere near as good as LB. I thought that not playing Browner was one of DC's biggest mistakes. Then again, there were plenty of Rovers fans on social media who thought he was past it, too slow, and not the player to help us kick-on to the play-offs, when he was actually only 27 - be careful what you wish for! |

Unlike many on here I have never been a supporter of Clarke’s methods, which quite frankly would not only of seen us relegated this season but would probably have dumped us at the bottom of League 2.
For those who don’t know ‘ cocko’ is the nickname Graham is known by.
Flynn as manager would be a disaster he owes David Pipe the real drive behind Newport County a great debt of gratitude. Cotterill would stink the place out, Ollie would be unable to keep his gob shut.
54 years of watching various imbeciles, not including Bert Tann, Don Megson, John Ward first time around and Gerry Francis show me people like Cochran are few and far between.

thanks Angas mainly consistency of selection per Jak. I'm wondering if taking the same approach to Tuesday might be a step too far - that's a lot of games in a short period for the same players? But I'll let GC be the judge of that - he's earned that right |

. Second, match fitness comes only with consistently playing not just fart arsing around for a few hours training a week. So by inference those on the bench won't be fit & won't be able to step up if injuries /suspensions necessitate it? |

Steptoe, "for those who don't know" Graham's name is Coughlan.

GC clearly doesn't rate,Benno,Leads or Matthews as they don't even feature on the Sub's bench.Speaks with passion after games.Think Linesey and Sercs will be pushing for starts for the Burton game

American rock'n'roll star Eddie Cochran died during the afternoon of Easter Sunday 17th April 1960.His death in St. Martin's Hospital in Bath, came as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash just outside Chippenham, late the night before. Eddie and his great friend Gene Vincent had been touring the UK since mid-January, on a package tour that had created a sensation amongst UK rock n roll fans.
