Marcus SpellerHOST
It's a very, very early on in the season.
Marcus SpellerHOST
Well, I think Glasner could take a leaf out of Ian Holloway's book.
Marcus SpellerHOST
That seems doubtful.
Marcus SpellerHOST
Allow me.
Marcus SpellerHOST
Because Glasner, I think he needs to take a more caring approach to his plays, to his output generally.
Marcus SpellerHOST
And if you compare it to Ian Holloway, who saw a situation that came up on the weekend where his Swindon Town team were playing against Rotherham in League 2, and the Swindon keeper, Connor Ripley, was getting distracted by the sun.
Marcus SpellerHOST
In other words, the sun was in his eyes.
Marcus SpellerHOST
The sun wasn't sort of blowing kissy faces at him or anything.
Seamus ColemanGUEST
But, you know, to win it, I probably at that age, I'd only been over in England a year, I probably didn't respect it enough at the time of what I'd just done.
Seamus ColemanGUEST
But looking back, it's a great memory to have, Ian Holloway and Blackpool.
Seamus ColemanGUEST
played a huge part in me growing in confidence.
Seamus ColemanGUEST
And listen, I walked up there in the first year and you think it's something that you can do, you know, again, but it's a hard thing to do to get up them steps.
Paul HawksbeeHOST
story of the weekend was Connor Ripley, the Swindon goalkeeper, who didn't have his cap and couldn't see the ball because of the low sun at the county ground.
Paul HawksbeeHOST
And so while they went off to try and find him one, Ian Holloway just handed over his sort of Peaky Blinders-style cap.
Andy JacobsHOST
Very nice, isn't
Paul HawksbeeHOST
it? So it was like watching a goalkeeper from the sort of 1920s.
Matt WattsHOST
We also need to mention Swindon because they beat Rotherham 2-1.
Matt WattsHOST
Connor Ripley wore Ian Holloway's flat cap at one point during this game.
Matt WattsHOST
Now, I cannot for the life of me believe that they couldn't find him a Swindon baseball cap.
Matt WattsHOST
I don't know how he ended up in Ian Holloway's flat cap, but there we go.
Matt WattsHOST
He wore it.
Matt WattsHOST
Actually, towards the end of the game, when he was at the other end, when the sun was no longer an issue, Connor Ripley did actually make a bit of a blunder to get Rotherham back in it.
Sam DownPANELIST
That was a Tuesday night we played Ipswich at home and drew 1-1.
Sam DownPANELIST
And it was branded Halloween because Ian Holloway was, of course, our manager at the time.
Sam DownPANELIST
Hopefully I could redeem myself slightly with that.
Adam PriceHOST
Very nice indeed.
Kevin MilvertonHOST
i really want if anyone from radio will BBC Radio Wiltshire is listening.
Kevin MilvertonHOST
I want them to ask Ian Holloway what he thinks.
Kevin MilvertonHOST
Do you not remember last season that they had a similar infraction in the league trophy? No, they got kicked out the same way we got kicked out of the playoffs.
Kevin MilvertonHOST
And they massively kicked off.
BenGUEST
And, yeah...
BenGUEST
We've got Ian Holloway's men, so we are going to win away.
BenGUEST
Like what Pete says, I think we are going to win away, and I'm confident with that.
BenGUEST
And I'm going for a 3-0 win, easily.
Sam MorsheadHOST
So I think that that is quite important.
Sam MorsheadHOST
I know that Holloway was very much focused on the importance of having something different up front over the last couple of weeks.
Sam MorsheadHOST
So...
Sam MorsheadHOST
I think if they can chop and change that shape whilst having something that seems to fit the available resource at the moment, and I think most importantly, they seem to not only look comfortable doing, but actually enjoy playing in that shape, then that's got to be a positive.

Andrew HawesHOST
Maybe the Academy is slightly different.
Andrew HawesHOST
Maybe with Tim Bell now in there, he feels the need to kind of really put a stamp on it and kind of revamp what the Academy is doing.
Andrew HawesHOST
Because, funnily enough, Ian Holloway, I think, was only sort of talking about this in an oblique way yesterday.
Andrew HawesHOST
It wasn't about trying to get other parts of the footballing infrastructure to lead to longer-term success or long-term success.
Trevor GearHOST
They went in and everything.
Trevor GearHOST
It sounds horrible to say all this, but the story is that on the floor of the Palace changing room... actually how can i put this um carefully there was um should we say some excrement on the floor all right and of course all hell broke loose um our manager at the time i think it was ian holloway so it may have been around the time we it may have been we because we beat them in the semi-final of the playoffs to then go to wembley and then we came up that was 2013.
Trevor GearHOST
So anyway, I was going to say Ian Holloway made a great stink about it, but that probably wasn't the best way to put that.
Trevor GearHOST
But anyway, obviously a lot of fuss was made, as you can imagine.
Trevor GearHOST
It was all tidied up and there was an apology from Brighton.
Trevor GearHOST
It wasn't helped, really, a couple of years ago, two, three seasons ago, when Palace went down to the Amex, down to Brighton to play them in a possibly, I'm trying to think what game it was, probably a league game, but the Palace coach dropped them off, they went in and everything, and it sounds horrible to say all this, but the story is that on the floor of the Palace changing room, how can I put this carefully, there was, shall we say, some excrement on the floor, And of course, all hell broke loose.
Trevor GearHOST
Our manager at the time, I think it was Ian Holloway.
Trevor GearHOST
So it may have been around the time we...
Trevor GearHOST
It may have been because we beat them in the semi-final of the playoffs to then go to Wembley and then we came up.
