Join us for an in-depth Millwall FC manager discussion as we break down the final three candidates rumored to be on the shortlist: Alex Neil, Matt Bloomfield, and Steven Schumacher. We dive into each coach's EFL Championship and League One managerial records, tactical approaches, and their potential impact on Millwall's long-term goals. We'll compare their strengths, evaluate their Championship promotion credentials, and consider which candidate could best align with the club's vision. If you're interested in the manager search, want the latest Millwall news, or crave insightful football analysis, this is the episode for you. Alex Neil: Pragmatic and Adaptable: Alex Neil is known for his pragmatic approach, often adjusting his tactics based on the opposition and his team's strengths. Formation Flexibility: He has used formations like 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2 but is not rigid, often switching between systems within games. Counter-Attacking Style: At Norwich and Preston, he leveraged fast transitions from defense to attack. His teams are often well-organized defensively but quick to exploit any opportunity on the counter. Set-Piece Focus: Neil places significant emphasis on set-pieces, both offensively and defensively, using them as a key part of his strategy to score or prevent goals. Matt Bloomfield: Progressive and Player-Centric: Bloomfield emphasizes a modern, engaging style of football that focuses on player development and tactical adaptability. Flexible Formations: He tends to favor a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, promoting a high-press system when possible, but he's known to adapt based on the squad's abilities. Possession-Based Play: While not strictly possession-oriented, there's a focus on maintaining the ball with purpose, moving it quickly to create openings. Youth Integration: His tactics involve integrating younger players into the first team, promoting a style that encourages creativity and expression on the pitch. Steven Schumacher: Dynamic and Attack-Minded: Schumacher's tactics are characterized by an energetic, attacking approach, aiming to dominate possession and create scoring chances. High Pressing: His teams at Plymouth were known for their high energy and pressing game, trying to win the ball back quickly in advanced areas. Formation Versatility: He often used a 3-4-2-1 or 4-3-3, focusing on width and creativity from the wing-backs or wingers to stretch defenses. Tactical Fluidity: Schumacher likes to keep opponents guessing with in-game changes, often switching formations or tactics to exploit weaknesses or counter opposition strategies. 0:01 – Intro and Welcome 1:12 – Overview of Final Candidates & Betting Odds 1:18 – Spotlight on Matt Bloomfield: Background, Style & Record at Colchester United & Wycombe Wanderers 14:00 – Discussing Millwall's Direction: Stability vs. Long-Term Vision 19:00 – Ambition, Resources & Realistic Expectations at The Den 26:28 – Steven Schumacher Analysis: Plymouth Argyle Success & Stoke City Tenure 33:00 – Alex Neil's Championship Credentials: Norwich City, Preston, Sunderland & Stoke City Insight 45:00 – Comparing Bloomfield, Schumacher & Neil: Pros, Cons & Potential Fits 52:00 – Final Thoughts, Fan Expectations & Holiday Wishes 53:28 – End of Show "The ultimate podcast for passionate Millwall FC fans!

Send us a Text Message.Today the boys (Martin & Patrick) have professional footballer Steve Wignall as a guest and he openly discusses his professional football career. He also touches upon his recent struggle with memory loss and the possibility of having CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy). CTE is a brain condition thought to be linked to repeated head injuries and blows to the head. It slowly gets worse over time and leads to dementia, but with the right help and support can manage the symptoms. Steven Leslie Wignall (born 17 September 1954) is an English former professional football manager and player. During his playing career, Steve played as a Central defender and made over 600 appearances in the Football League.

He retired as a player in 1991, barely a year before Aldershot went out of business.After he retired from playing he joined the coaching staff at Aldershot, before assisting Ian McDonald. After Aldershot went out of business in 1992, a new club, Aldershot Town was formed, and Steve became their first-ever manager, winning back-to-back promotions before former club Colchester United signed him in January 1995. During his time at Colchester, he led the club to promotion via the play-offs in 1978/79 and to the final of the Associates Members Cup the year before. He stayed as manager until he resigned in January 1999, believing he had taken the club as far as he could. In April 2000, he joined Stevenage Borough and was offered a two-year contract but never signed it and, when approached a month later by former club Doncaster Rovers, he decided to manage them instead, having only managed 8 games at Stevenage. He managed Doncaster for just one season, In 2003, he became manager of Southend United but only lasted seven months. He also worked as a first-team coach and assistant at Wivenhoe Town from 2005 before leaving the club due to financial reasons in January 2008.#HeartTransplant#EbsteinsAnomaly#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#ChronicIllness#joepasquale#mywishcharity#comedy#funny#jokeCheck out our new website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our new website at www.whostomanddick.com
