Denver Hume

Blackburn, Boro and Coventry are all interested in Hume
There’s better out there, maybe cash in? A left back/sided player who can attack and defend equally well is what we need-the number of goals we conceded down the left hand side of our team last season was ridiculous. Neither McFazdean nor Hume were effective defenders and opposing sides exploited this with ease on regular occasions.
 


Aye sometimes his jargon is a bit irritating, but I don't understand why it gets some people so riled up. And I don't see why he shouldn't use the proper term for the exercises, if anything it's a good thing as those who had to google now know why Johnson wasn't picking Neil other younger players, they also now know exactly what kind of extra work the younger players need to be doing. And it's on them to go now and do it. Nowt wrong with a bit of education.

His record does have some red flags aye but Kryil is sticking with him and giving him the season. It's time to let him get on with it and see what he can do with the new set up. If he fails again then fair enough, but criticisms before preseason even starts is hardly breeding a winning mentality.
I actually think the fans have been quite patient with him. He came with a reputation of constantly changing line ups and having long slumps which he didn't know what to do about. The fact that these have been very early is a massive red flag. That run of 10/11 games then the frankly pathetic attempt in the play offs means that fans should be worried. The use of jargon is just a side show. To be honest I saw him as a pundit before we hired him and I thought he came across as a smug, self satisfied prat so I was really not keen on us appointing him.

However, the fans have totally accepted that KLD has backed him and its probably the right thing to do. I have a major worry that he actually isn't very good and we'll waste yet another year down here until we get the right manager/head coach. My first game was 1974 and I've seen many ups and downs and normally not wanted to sack managers - I would have kept O'Neill, Bruce, Poyet even Coleman but for all my life I could conceive of 4 years in the 3rd Division - its an utter disgrace when we the fans have given the club all time record attendances for this level. Therefore, I don't think being in the 3rd Division is a time for patience - we need someone to drag us out of this awful league - someone like Roy Keane, Denis Smith, Peter Reid, Mick McCarthy. Is Johnson that man? I highly doubt it. He did nowt at Bristol City and I doubt he'll see next season out - not because of the fans but because he's not very good and actually hides his weaknesses with his nonsense speak.

To be fair people were behind the rhetoric when it was going well. His problem has been that we were woeful last 10 games and he didn’t have an answer. Meanwhile he’s using phrases to sound like he’s some kind of visionary and ahead of the curve. We’re in league one and people can’t be bothered to get their wool pulled over their eyes or to buy into his rubbish, just win some games.
 
In say that in your post i think most supporters have backed Hume since he emerged on the scene. He debut against Wolves if people remember the season we were relegated. Has he really shown improvement these past three seasons when he has not been injured.?
 
Yet another example of our fans failing to support our young talent.
I can never get my head round it.
Fully behind our young talent over here, however, Hume has proven since the Jack Ross days that he can't defend or head a football. If someone said we'll give him a chance as a winger I'd say give it a go. But we can't go into the season with Hume as a first choice left back. Academy graduate or not if you can't defend a L1 level you'll struggle to make it any higher.
 
I've been on loads and loads of meetings with people who can use Buzz words and talk an amazing game. Very few can deliver what thier spouting. I've no problem with LJ being enthusiastic, and talking a player up. But when he talks about a player being a project and adding value I'm like FFS!! Just please LJ get your head down with your coaching team and just work on delivering what you've been spouting on about. I will be the first to hold my hands up and applaud you!! You win the fans over with actions as we have all heard the words before
Incorrect. You’re just a knuckle dragger
 
Case just proved with your tedious comment.
I can interact and be as expressive as the next person when in conversation, you were the one as a new member tarred posters on here as freaks, a great way to introduce and endear yourself to others.

Not all posters - just the tiresome ones who constantly abuse our players and manager on here. It doesn't matter if I am a new poster or not my point of view is as valid as anyone elses.

Indeed your views are as valid as anyone’s, but it doesn’t mean they will be universally accepted, it’s good to communicate and discuss even when views don’t align, if you’re a new member you will soon learn that you will be pigeonholed into one category or other as to whether you’re a happy clapper or a bed wetter, if you’re a reincarnation of a previous ID then you will already know this.
 
I dinnar, you seem to like having a go at our fans and calling people mags.
Called one bloke a mag since been on. Goes on like one.

Having a go at fans ffs. You mean the few who dee nowt but pick through anything the manager says and stating hes a prat for using sports terminology. With a few laughy emojis.

Youd think Rees - Mogg was our manager way they go on.

Fans my arse.
