Good post by Damon Lenszner on pasoti regarding Fletch-

Chris, when you thought things were not right at the Club you fought, and boy did you fight!, to get the wrong righted. There are many fans that look at the team now and see some or all of the following:

Ill disciplined, unmotivated, poorly organised, unfit, poorly prepared and tactically inept.

Our fight now is to try and right that wrong. Some may say each and every one of the above comes from inexperienced players being lead by an inexperienced manager. I have the greatest respect for Fletch as a man and as a player. We cannot, however, afford to be part of Fletch's learning curve. With all due respect to the people involved in the decision making process we need a leader right now. SOmeone who can instill pride into those wearing the shirts. Someone who can instill confidence by having been there and done it. Someone who can look into a players eyes and know what's needed. Someone who can coach others into being better players. Someone who can read a game and change things to make a difference. Sean O'Driscoll may well be that person. Gary Johnson may well be that person. But that person MUST be the leader, MUST be the gaffer, MUST be the boss - not a Consultant who sits somewhere between the Manager and the Chairman of Football Operations.

I will be there on Saturday. I will cheer on the Greens. I will never give up. I will hope more than anything that we get three points - but it is a hope born from blind faith. I would rather have that hope born from expectation.

Blind faith is a speciality in some quarters. It's taken years to perfect those holier than thou credentials.

I think this is going to be sorted fairly quickly.

O'Driscoll could be a very shrewd shout, or it could a Marineresque fudge of Sturrock proportions. I think as someone who Fletch has already played for I'm erring towards the former.

As always the devil is in the detail.

Indeed.

The O'Driscoll thing is played down in today's Herald/WMN though - on the bottom of the Chadwick piece.

I'm not so sure. He wasn't just invited to Stourbridge as a mate of Fletch. I reckon he was on a fact finding mission. I do hope that he is installed as the manager rather than an 'advisor'.

Another one who's been rehabilitated by our alleged leaders. Strange how temporary shortness of memory affects people.

How Fletcher is seen as a better appointment then an experienced manager is beyond me. Whoever advised Brent of this needs to have a long hard look at themselves.

Cheaper, innit.

Nice bloke, good player, but.

You can't sack a guy coming out of what we've just come out of, you certainly can't sack someone whose never had a proper transfer window in which to operate. We're signing better players than we've got and he's mature and pragmatic enough to get a trusted fresh pair of eyes to advise him, give him a chance.

But he wasn't announced as a new full time and permanent manager, just a temporary cover for a sacking that apparently Ridsdale had no option not to carry out.
Still, you get out what you put in.

memory lane

The Sussex Sage speaketh! To be fair to him, Fletcher did manage to keep Argyle in the league that season thanks to some decent loan signings but he was never the man too push the club on. Was Stourbridge before or after the Dorchester debacle? Whatever, nightmare days.

Tbf to the sucking sage he was full of shit before then and he's still full of shit, at least he's consistent.
