"Oleg Blokhin was the Manager. He was a great striker with Russia and he played a 4-2-3-1 system and I was the one he put up top".

That's Brewster's tactical knowledge in its entirety. Feckin Blokhin's 4-2-3-1 with HIM up top. It can effectvive, but the problem arises when HE gets too old to play. The HE tries to mould a series of broad-shouldered young lads into the new Craig Brewster. Only Rory McAllister will never be Craig Brewster, neither will Gary Wood and neither will Andy Barrowman. Adam Rooney came closest, but still, at 20 and with a space even wider than Brewster's arsehole between him and the midfield, he didn't stand a chance.

I really hope this clown gets the County job when Adams goes to Dundee.

Tactical ineptitude, rivalled only by his grasp of geopolitics.

I am genuinely puzzled by this comment. What do you mean?

Blokhin was a Ukrainian who played for the USSR.
There was no 'Russia' in a footballing context in his day.

That's all.

Brewster is the most totally inept and ignorant football manager, as a player he only flourished due to the decline of scottish football in general, best of a bad bunch is nthe best way to describe him and he only survives due to his daft take on fitness, if he only he had the managerial skill with men to equal his obsession.

He's an arse not worth wiping.

Oh boy, he fairly skirted round his managerial stats at United and Inverness.

Yes I know Blokhin is a Ukranian. But as the Ukraine wasn't an independent state at the time, he would represent "Russia". But I see your point now. Blokhin played for the Soviet Union and not Russia. Tut tut Craig, you thicko!

Scott Leitch must share that accolade. Utterly utterly inept. I pity Aberdeen for having him on their staff, hes's just an inflated, bad, PE teacher.

The statistics wouldn't really tell much due to the fact you couldn't include Ross County's Second Division results in a fair comparison. And the half a season before he arrived wouldn't tell anyone that much. In the tail end of last season he scored four goals which came all came in one goal victories for Ross County so his contribution last season ensured we improved. Last season we amassed 47 points, while this season with Brewster as assistant has seen us gain 42 points in 2/3s of the time we gathered 47 last season.

Since Craig Brewster's arrival County have certainly improved.

Ok, not the most heinous of crimes perhaps, but as someone who gets annoyed when the terms 'England' and 'United Kingdom' are treated as if they were synonyms, it bugs me also when people do it with regard to other places.
