New Back Room Staff

He did preside over a 6-0 defeat away at Newcastle hence not a manager but as a coach and Youth Development coach he seemed to be excellent.  I said the other day that I don't think it is a coincidence that our production line has not been as good since he departed.

Seems like a smart move that. Even if its just till summer its smart. Well played all around.

[Mister E]

Now can we have a striker coaching our strikers. 

Brian Little was a master of drifting off his marker and finding space ...

... as well as being able to walk on water.

K Mac is back!

I'm sure he's excited to get involved once again, I thinker fits the role perfectly. I'm thrilled Sherwood roped him in.

I see Alan Evans has offered his services To Sherwood as a Defensive Coach, offering to walk up the M5 to Villa Park given the chance.

I always think it is useful having specialist coaches in certain positions. Defence being the most important,although the effect Sheringham has had on West Ham going forward is interesting.

But how much of West Ham's improvement is down to actually spending the best part of £20m on two new forwards?

Precisely.

It's not like Sheringham has suddenly got Carlton Cole scoring loads of goals. They've just brought in better strikers than they had before.

Happy with this, good coach who got the reserves playing good football and generally looking like well rounded players, good decision.

[wozwebs]

What a difference 10 days makes eh folks! All positive at the moment, surely this can't be right? What are we going to moan about now, the pies again?

[Toronto Villa]

We need cap off this week with a win otherwise much of this good feeling will wash away and reality will sink in very quickly.

It will be interesting experience for Kevin MacDonald as he will look at players still in the club and see how far they progress in almost 3 seasons. This means he can look at them with fresh eyes.

We have better strikers potentially but have scored 12 all season. West ham season ticket holder i know credits Sheringham.

Birmingham Mail Online: Aston Villa legend Allan Evans has offered his services as a defensive coach to new boss Tim Sherwood. Evans, who won the First Division title and European Cup during Villa's golden period in the early 1980s, says he would "walk up the M5" to work for the club. The 58-year-old has taken time out from football in recent years to care for daughter Davida, who tragically died of cancer last November. He is now feeling re-energised to return to the full-time game and would love to be part of Sherwood's revolution at Villa Park. Evans has coaching experience at Villa, having worked followed Brian Little from Leicester in the mid-1990s to work as his assistant manager.

Tell him I'll pick him up.

Welcome back KMac

That's the first time I heard that Alan Evan's daughter had passed away.  I knew she was suffering from cancer but hadn't heard about her passing.  Was it mentioned on here?  She was born at the same time as my son, his wife was on the same ward as Mrs S in Good Hope hospital.  I'm sorry to hear that.  RIP.
