Johnson Out


DonaldDownTheWing said:
Said it after Blackpool, will say it again tonight.

I don’t want the head coach of our football club to be someone who decides to start Callum McFadzean over Denver Hume. Then when it’s clear he’s getting done every time, cost us 1 goal, he doesn’t change it. Then does change it after it’s cost us 3 points.

Of course there’s the argument “these aren’t his players” - my question, if he thinks McFadz is better than Hume, do we really want to see the players he does bring in? Maguire not been getting in the squad despite him producing every time he comes off the bench?

We could be sitting pretty in second had he not tried to tinker with the team and the formation every time and cost us.

Was never a pen and we’d be f***ing fuming if that was given against us.

Got to go for me. I know he won’t be sacked before the end of the season, but we won’t achieve anything with him in charge.

This post made me feel very queasy 🤢
 
I always like to check these historic threads to see if I’ve made a fool of myself, all clear this time.

The OP was spot on to be fair.
 
It’s notable how the first page isn’t full of people engaging seriously with a reasonable point of view, but just having a pop or a one liner. It looked silly and the time and even more silly in hindsight
 
We went from having Mcfadzean and Hume as options for LB. To just a couple months later having the likes of Cirkin playing for us. A chunk of the starting 11 now played for us in L1.

Thank god we didn’t have the likes of Lee Johnson making big decisions on recruitment. That Bolton game was so depressing, I was back in Carlisle sipping a pint about an hour after FT
 
The nature of football means that 99.99% of the time, if you create a thread wanting a manager out at any point, you will be able to bump it to say "told you so", sooner rather than later.

Probably worth pointing out we lost 4 of the next 26 competitive games after the OP was created and got to the QF of the League Cup.

Of course it's now some sort of "told you so" moment when in reality it would have been absolutely nonsense to sack a manager who had at that point been at the club for 4 months and had lost 4 of his first 32 competitive games.

What are your views on Mowbray?

I like him. He frustrates me at time with some mad substitutions and I wish he wouldn’t eat in a press conference.

That said, it can’t be easy having your players picked for you, knowing that you have to play a certain way to match the overall aims of the club hierarchy and he’s managing to get a good young group playing really well. Just need to cut out runs without a win, comfortably achieve a playoff spot and get at least to Wembley.

He should have been sacked in after Lincoln, and that was only a month after the OP.

It’s easy to skew stats to suit a narrative. This thread came after a draw with Hull, which was preceded by defeats to Wigan & Charlton and followed by 2 draws, 1 win, 1 loss in the regular season before ultimately being bumped out of the playoffs by Lincoln City.

It was glaringly obvious then that we were never going anywhere with him in charge. It just took losing 6-0 to Bolton Wanderers with a side featuring Cirkin, Neil, Stewart, Evans & Batth for the some people to realise.

Got to be going some to bump your own thread from 2 and a half years ago and claim to be some wise sage in suggesting Lee Johnson might be a bit pants

Have you read the first couple of pages? You’d think it was obvious that he was a useless idiot, but not to all apparently.

Had he been sacked before Lincoln we might’ve made it to Wembley that year.

Some people would have been happy to stick with him after Bolton 6 Sunderland 0.

Gonks.

I absolutely got them and get now that we can’t just chop & change the manager constantly. I didn’t want Neil to leave and Mowbray is the perfect fit (hence you only see a few people asking for sackings after 3 defeats in a row)

But Johnson was the latest in a long list of sheer incompetence employed as head coach manager. He followed Phil Parkinson who was just as bad, if not worse. You cant just “keep sacking” people, but if they’re the wrong person for the job, it’s right to get rid and Johnson was absolutely the wrong person.
 
Reading some of the first few replied some of our fans will defend absolutely any old shite won’t they 😂😂😂

Was it park t my who got all the apologies on here because he’s won one game in three month 😂
