Austin MacPhee

[Risso]

I was sat just behind the dug outs today, and this chap is really involved, all of the time, and not just at set pieces. Doesn't look like he takes any shit either.

A very good appointment I think.

Certainly seems very involved and switched on.

[PaulWinch again]

A tremendous job so far. It’s not just attacking, we look better defensively from set pieces too.

[Dante Lavelli]

I’ve no idea what he earns but if he get £200k a year and every player knows where to be for all free kicks and throw-ins then that seems decent value for me. Amplify that by coaching the youth too and it’s steel.

[LukeJames]

I used to play on my phone during set pieces. You sexy long haired beast!

[darren woolley]

A great appointment for us.

[ROBBO]

 At one point in the game you could hear him screaming at a Villa player in very colourful language, he is making a difference.

He also looks like he's in a Chilli Peppers tribute band.

He also looks like he's in a Chilli Peppers tribute band.

Or Rick Wakeman has someone else said yesterday.

ha ha yes it was a case ‘oh well we are up the right end ‘

The Danks-MacPhee combo seems to be working very well.
What I like about this season is our willingness to take the game to the oppo: we didn't see it so much against the Barcodes or Brentford at VP, it's a developing approach  - perhaps resulting from the growing influence of these two new coaches - and it's great for the team and the fans watching.

[algy]

Yeah, agree with everyone here that Danks-MacPhee, along with sounding like a small town accountancy firm or solicitors, also seem to be an absolutely top notch coaching pair - at least from the improvements in the first few weeks of this season. Along with Neil Cutler, we've got a formidable coaching staff.

A Prog’ rock band yet to be formed I think. If we keep scoring from set pieces we should get a collection organised to buy him a twin necked guitar.

[Steve67]

McPhee Danks Smith.  Sounds like some sort of swimming accident. Seems to be working well, long may it continue.

[ROBBO]

During a stoppage in play he appeared to be giving Ramsey a right bollicking.
