Or it could be just he has a strong Jock accent. Try saying 'sheet' with a Jock accent!
Have you ever met a Scots person?

Great result for you today Gary and you seem to have got the team selection and tactics right in difficult circumstances, especially regarding central defenders.

To come to our club with these injury problems( little or no proper cover in central defence) and get a good result at Derby, possibly an unlucky defeat down the A38 and a win at Vale today there is a prima facie case for this to be an excellent appointment. One other thing, City fans like good football and it appears you are following this course

Hopefully the first of many wins for Caldwell and well deserved. Huge game next week - fancy us to beat Peterborough.

Very interesting listening to GC’s post match interview, talking about Jevani and Archie.
He clearly sees Jevani as a great talent and wants to develop him further.
With regards to Archie: he’s told him to take the handbrake off. Seems to have worked very well in the last couple of games.
Quite enlightening in terms of his footballing philosophy and sounds very promising.

In League 2 we had the burden of expectation and the pressure to succeed. Maybe in League 1 the Team can take the handbrake off.

Yes it is.
The fact that his Exeweb join date is given as Sept 2010 just demonstrates how forward thinking GC is; he joined Exeweb 12 years ago in preparation for being ECFC manager in 2022. :rolleyes: ;)
