It probably means dressing room leaders although sounds worse. I think some posters are taking it to extremes, much as I don’t like the saying. It came from this, as I’m sure many may have guessed, about 18 minutes or so in: The exact wording was: “…but really importantly I think we need the senior players, we need the sort of the daddies if you like of the dressing room, that have seen it and done it all before, that are, that we really emphasise their value, and that they really buy into the wider project and that they invest in contributing on the pitch as well as off the pitch.” Which apart from the nauseating turn of phrase seems eminently sensible so long as players and manager are on the same page. However I genuinely feel we’re seeing - for the second time now - what can happen when they’re not. Recent events have made the next bit quite interesting, actually: “…what I think is right is that you pick one [style of play], and you really recruit against that and you really execute that. So that’s whether you’re really efficient and play in the opposition half or whatever, or if you try and build and make a big pitch, and try and get 700 passes a game. I’m OK with both, I just think the worst thing is to be confused, is to be not one or the other and therefore neither.” Trouble is, we *do* seem to be trying to be both and therefore neither. Pass it around at the back, but we don’t have the players to continue to pass it further up the field so we just hood it up there instead, where we don’t necessarily have the right players to keep it up that end either and it just all goes terribly wrong. The contrast between what SW says he likes to see and what we are getting at the moment is really stark. Which makes the tacit approval of SR’s performance even more perplexing. It doesn't make sense when you look at the fact: A) Rusk originally came in trying to play possession football, slowing down what we had with a 4-5-1. He then reverted to a 3-5-2. B) He then sidelined the best target man we've had in years in terms of link up play. C) He has then adopted a more direct style of play, centre on balls into the centre forwards, not in behind, and ended up with no back up for the striker most adept at that style (even though it isn't his actual style). Points to me as Rusk having had to change his style because it didn't work, and then finding a system that did work even though it wasn't his preference... and with that now no longer working he doesn't know how to change it.

BTW, SW also said that his due diligence on the takeover identified that half of teams that get promoted from the National League go up to League One straight after. Is that true? It would certainly explain the eagerness to make some of the signings we have, even though they now risk being more like millstones than assets,

Just looking at records - Yeovil, Carlisle, Hereford, Exeter, Stevenage, Fleetwood, Bristol R, Lincoln and Tranmere all seem to have gone up within two seasons of promotion from the national league. Think Luton and Doncaster were all after three seasons in League 2. League 2 is definitely the easiest league to get out of with four promotion places.

Definitely looking more and more like a great strategy poorly executed, then… I’d agree with that. I think we all knew this league was the toughest to get out of and would also require the most amount of cash to do so. I still think the squad we have is more than capable. It just needs the right manager now.

It just needs the right manager now. Possibly also for the DoF to find some middle ground where he’s neither too hands-on (as he supposedly was with JG) nor too hands-off (as he seems to be with SR at the moment based on what he said about strategy and recruitment). ‘Cos it ain’t workin’…

He is not capable of driving it home without crashing into the barriers. I am not joking when I say I would have been a better appointment, and I can't drive for shit!

I did ironically Google dressing room daddies last night to see if it's a common used phrase in football psychology. Everything which comes up looks to be a gay porno.
What absolute clowns we have running the club now.
