New Bath City manager Jerry Gill has revealed why he opted for only a watching brief at his first game in charge.
Following 21 years, five months and four days away, Jerry Gill was back for the Romans' trip to St Albans last weekend.
Having taken over last Thursday and with one training session in the bag, Gill admitted he was happy to allow assistant Jim Rollo take the reins.
Gill, meanwhile, watched the 2-0 National League South defeat from the gantry and the main stand.
“I think it was important I did that,” he said.
“I haven’t seen the boys live. Taking a backseat and being up high means you’re able to see a lot of things.
“I’m glad I’ve done it as I’ve learnt a lot from it today.
The 47-year-old was specific in the weaknesses he saw.
“We didn’t show enough bravery on the ball or move it with enough speed,” he said.
“And we didn’t really work their goalkeeper enough – just a few half chances.
“Our final ball, and our crossing, was too loopy. We didn’t do enough to merit scoring a goal or coming out with any points.”
But Gill is happy with the quality of his 10th-placed squad and also noted several positives in defeat.
He added: “I can’t knock their work ethic or their attitude because their attitude was great. I saw that as well at training on Thursday.
“It’s not just about their work ethic, heart or desire, they have that in abundance.
“It’s about the quality in possession of the football. The bravery to get on it.
“Those are areas we’re going to work on to try and improve us.”
The Clevedon-born former defender spent six years with City between 1990 and 1996.
Following that, he forged a league career and developed into a highly-rated coach.
Barring a 44-day stint in 2010 at a Weymouth side heading into financial meltdown, Gill largely worked at club academies before being appointed as Gary Owers’ successor last week.
“I’ve been waiting a long time to get a senior role” he admitted.
“It just felt like the right moment. The timing was right.
“Having spoken to Nick (Blofeld, club chairman) and Paul (Williams, football chairman), they really sold the ambition of the club to me.
“I’m ambitious as well and I want to help develop these players. It’s not about me, it’s about the football club, it’s about the players.
“And that’s my job – I enjoy coaching.”
The first game for the new manager fell just two days after his appointment and Gill has enjoyed the fast pace of the job so far.
“Having come in late on Thursday it’s been a bit of a whirlwind,” he said.
“But now the weeks will settle down to give us a chance to reflect on this game, reflect on which players we’ve got and where we need to improve it.
“Going forward, we’ll hopefully see a team that’s even more competitive with a bit more quality in the final third.”
- City have registered two players in advance of the Somerset Premier Cup fixture at Cheddar on Wednesday night. Returning to the club is Kaid Mohamed and he is joined by young Bristol striker, Oaklan Buck.
