Sky reporting that Neil Banfield, Damien Matthew and Harry Watling are expected to join as coaches.

[Scott Pilgrim]

To be fair when players are struggling and look to the bench and they are all sitting down staring at an iPad it gives the players the wrong impression. If they have to be used, one coach should be allowed only. It’s a bad look for players and fans

You can't be serious man.

Do the other coaches get fined for glancing at the screen during the game?

 

[MrStruth]

Be nice if they fucked off the iPads and came out the dug out every now and again.

Something that was truly annoying with Gio. He seemed happy to be the only guy giving instructions. The others just sat there offering zero.

 

[MFK Bear]

Interesting that he's taking the set piece coach. Had a look on Twitter and a few QPR message boards and they can't wait to see the back of the set piece coach. Saying he's the reason they've been getting poor results recently.

Damien Matthew aswell

Neil Banfield being referred to on here as "some random"
The guys been a first team coach at Arsenal to the likes of Thierry Henry in his prime.

 

[Kaiser]

If they know anything about corner kicks they will be an upgrade.

Unbelievable, its come to this.

An institution over 150 years old and we're wondering how to work corner kicks.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Not what I wanted. I wanted Culshaw back as we need our set pieces sorted ASAP and the guy is hard as nails.

Isn't Watling a set piece coach, and was with Beale for the Aberdeen game?

Just to watch the match of course

 

[Captain_Buns]

Be nice if they fucked off the iPads and came out the dug out every now and again.

Yes. I’m sure we must still have Kenny McDowall’s clipboard around somewhere.

Back to basics is what we need!

 

[Blue boy]

Watched the highlights of the QPR games on YouTube this morning and to be fair, this may seem impossible but they look worse than us at defending set pieces.

Dont say that, there not even in the door yet.

 

[Andrew webb]

Damien Matthew also coming in.

My cousin has been friends with him since a kid
Heard the information last night

We genuinely do have fans who literally watch nothing of the game outwith Rangers or the Scottish game.

Dunno how they do it

 

[bluetonic]

Hope there's enough space for KT and Big Dunc?!?!?

Don’t forget Neil McCann!

 

[W_72]

Damien Matthew also coming in.

Not that it matters but think Brendan took him to the tims as a scout back in the day.

 

[Brizblue]

Watling's Mrs is a looker too

Yeah he is highly respected. Bit of a coup from us tbh

 

[attack-hands]

That will sure upset Douglas Park - He is the one that does the Coaches!

 

[Souness86]

The derision by some over these appointments all because they want KT, a guy who had a spell in the 4th tier and has since been out of work, unless you could call poor co-commentating work, is absolutely mad.

Lets just get behind the new team.

Friend of the show Kevin Thomson.

 

[venturablue]

Neil Banfield would be a huge appointment.

 

[Big Buff]

Not sure about Damien Matthew tbh. Have you ever known someone called Damien to be sound? They're always complete bastards.

 

[Dugsy]

Banfield has already been at Rangers as a scout under Gerrard.

I’ve known Neil for around 20 years his boy and mine played together when they were kids. I often bump into him at my location teams game.Last time I spoke to him he was on his pro licence with Gerrard. I also know that he coached Michael Beale whilst they were at Charlton.

 

[Anoldranger]

Maybe you could just buy the club, and install whoever the fuk you want in every position.
We wouldn't have to suffer your negative pish on here

Brilliant!

 

[Anoldranger]

The FF experts are on top of their game today.

 

[DerekSSR]

Bluebeard has got to be a windup account or a total simpleton

 

[Bluebeard]

He looks old fashioned in some peoples eyes because of his age and belly etc. not a problem to me as an older bear myself , but can understand why some look at him and think typical cockney who would boast about eating a “ kilo o prawns” and six pints etc.

I’ve zero issue with these guys coming in but I wanted a Culshaw and a Thomson to add much needed grit to the place. It’s badly needed.

 

[Bigbluebear]

I don’t want that, but I want a manager who’ll call out injustices and stand up for the players. A bit of siege mentality would do this squad a power of good - been far too laissez faire this season.

Check out Beales interview from after the recent Huddersfield game.

Hes pretty scathing about the players defending set plays

 

[Dr Steve Brule]

Bluebeard has got to be a windup account or a total simpleton

MDB.

 

[Talktalk]

And shake a clenched fist at them if they were really angry

And if able to jump up and down on the spot while shaking a fist will see them all the way to the top

 

[Simply a Bear]

Neil Banfield would be a huge appointment.

What kind of influence do you see from him?

 

[Talktalk]

Great 2 Randoms coming way him just gets better!

And your manager wasn’t a random ? Geez Peace

He was first team coach at Arsenal in 2012 ? Not peak Henry

Reads like morning roll call at Eton

I like Thomson, but agree with your point.

 

[Taverneeeeer]

Friend of the show Kevin Thomson.

I love the H&H pods and I like Kevin Thomson, just not as a first team coach.

 

[BoyciesDa]

Aye, let's get John Lambie in as manager as well and go full 1980s Scottish fitba manager on them. "Boot that fcking ba' up the park ya shower a useless bastards."

Imagine you think Santa is real

No simpleton is coming up with material as good as this, a master at work

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

hopefully they understand the wee old guy in the Copland screaming get ra f*ckin baw up ra parrrrkk.

 

[Forth Bear]

The hard-on some folk have got for someone like Thomson to be part of the coaching staff is baffling.

Neil Banfield spent a decade at Arsenal. Wanting Thomson over a guy with experience like him is stupid beyond belief.

 

[JMCK]

Neil Banfield would be a huge appointment.

Especially if he is Beale's preferred choice.

 

[BombersBoots]

Neil Banfield would be a huge appointment.

Not that I can say much about this either way as i would be lying if I said I knew anything about him but we heard the same stuff about Vos.

Is it definitely ruled out that Thomson could be coming to join Beale's backroom team?

 

[Alex Hunter]

I do think that people need to remember that McAllister, Culshaw, Milson etc were Gerrard’s team - not Beale’s.

I’m not sure why so many assumed he’d bring those with him.

 

[TeddyBearMJ14]

And your manager wasn’t a

And your manager wasn’t a random ? Geez Peace

Who Gio ? So you can't voice an opinion on here or your one of them pathetic

Gio never ever entered my mind to tell the truth

 

[Taverneeeeer]

For the anti-ipad crew, I think its probably time to accept that technology is the future and football is no different. I would imagine, given its what all the elite clubs do, that there is a benefit from doing this kind of thing.

Ronaldo just did an interview with that twat Morgan which got about a billion views because he was bemoaning man utd being unwilling to get with the times. Its clearly the type of thing players these days want rather than a magic sponge and a psycho calling them all jessies from the bye line.

 

[TeddyBearMJ14]

Gio never ever entered my mind to tell the truth

Clearly nothing much does

 

[Noddy]

And shake a clenched fist at them if they were really angry

Don't forget pointing to their own head and telling them to tune in.

 

[venturablue]

What kind of influence do you see from him?

Massive improvement in our defensive organisation. Team morale and togetherness is a must with his sessions.

Do you like cats mate ?

Exactly, and if Gerrard goes back in to management sometime in the near future, the possibility is that they go with him, especially Culshaw and Milson.

What we have all been wanting to see.
