New Back Room Staff

[Clampy]

It could well be a stop gap appointment like someone suggested, but in the meantime, I hope he comes in and makes a difference.

[Hoppo]

I cant believe I was so disrespectful to Monty. It was a moment of madness for which I can only apologise.

[Monty]

Edit: not getting involved.

I remember when Bibs and Cones coached us into the best team in the country at defending set pieces (1 goal conceded), and the next season the vastly superior (according to many on H&V) coaching regime of GH coached the same players into the worst team in the country at defending set-pieces (27 goals conceded).

So I'm not sure what constitutes evidence of crap coaching on here because that didn't for quite a few posters.

[Steve67]

So, it's still not happened yet? Mark Robson that is? Probably Twitter crap.

Isn't a coach only as good as the ideas he is told to implement? Sherwood plans training and it's down to the coaches to put it into practice. I assume there will be room for the injections of ideas, but if a manager is telling his staff we're to play a particular way then that's what they'll do.

It did for me Percy. We also lost our ability to score from set pieces too that same year (IIRC as I was in China)

According to the photos on Twitter, Mark Robson has been taking training the last two days.

I can't confirm its him, as I have no clue what he looks like, but he is a coach I haven't seen before

[PeterWithesShin]

This is him. I haven't noticed him in any of the pics the club have posted.

Sure it's not Paddy Reilly?  Bloke seems to be turning up everywhere!

[nodge]

No, that's Paddy Reilly's elbow, he's standing next to him.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Have a look at the photos on the OS from Sherwood's first day training. The final photo with 3 balls at Sherwood's feet - in the background there's a coach that looks like it could be him but too blurred to make out. The rumour of Robson joining was broke by Press Association Sport, I assume a trusted source.

Maybe Clampy is right and he's just helping out until Sherwood gets his team together.

[PeterWithesShin]

It could be him, but it's too blurry to tell for sure.

[ozzjim]

You would think, if he was the number 2, or a more prominent member of the team, there would have been an announcement.

It is the new Villa version of 'Where's Wally'? 'Spot Paddy' and win season ticket for next year.
