Just as odd as judging a football manager on his looksOdd post.
wigan had multiple games in hand. Sheff Wednesday, 11 points behind us in 8th at the time, had two games but nobody else did. We were two points from top despite games in hand. We were sloppy in some games, namely Accrington and Lincoln and we’re unfortunate with a skeleton crew at Wycombe despite playing some brilliant stuff, probably the best we’ve played away from home.
The Bolton defeat was a bit of a surprise to everyone given how we’d played for two months and was a complete knee jerk decision.
Neil inherited a very talented squad of players, gave excuses which people have bought about players being ridiculously burned out (which didn’t help in subsequent performance when your manager is saying he’d play someone else if he could). He had new signings to bolster what was a covid and injury depleted squad that LJ didn’t have as well as some players now returning from injury with a far easier set of fixtures, most of which were at home where our form had been excellent. The two caretaker games withstanding, he needs to be getting this squad into the play offs or he’s finished here.
Who's done that? The idiotsJust as odd as judging a football manager on his looks
He knew how to get promoted... 7 years ago.He’s tightened the defence which was imperative, shame LJ couldn’t see that. He is a dour Scot but he knows how to get promoted if not this season then I dare say he will have us winning the league next
LJ didn’t and doesn’t know to this day. The bloke is clueless and was a complete waste of timeHe knew how to get promoted... 7 years ago.
I agree he is very moyesesque but I couldn’t cope with any more shite from Johnson. We were getting pumped 6-0 off shite manWho's done that? The idiots![]()
They were ridiculously burnt out. Doyle come straight from academy football into playing first team football every single week. He’s simply a dreadful defender
I also wanted Brent gone.I agree he is very moyesesque but I couldn’t cope with any more shite from Johnson. We were getting pumped 6-0 off shite man
Aye let’s sack another manager then and go on the never ending Sunderland cycleHe knew how to get promoted... 7 years ago.
MK Dons were absolutely gash mind, it was a disgrace we lost to them. Of course Johnson’s last games weren’t great, but sacking him did the exact opposite to giving us a chance of automatics, they actively sabotaged any chance we had of the. Whatever you think of johnson the players were clearly on board and it dented their confidence hugely when he went.
Neil hasn’t helped himself by insisting we play negative anti football which doesn’t suit us, particularly at home and is struggling to get a tune out of the leagues top scorer. My point is simple, he needs to at least get us play offs or he’ll be gone. Which will be fair enough for me.
Mitigations for Johnson but aggravations for Neil. Seems reasonable….
How many more do we need to peddle until people are happy thoughI also wanted Brent gone.
I fail to see how Alex Neil has shown anything to suggest he’s any better...LJ didn’t and doesn’t know to this day. The bloke is clueless and was a complete waste of time
Well you and I wanted the last fella peddled and we'd already peddled loads up to that point.How many more do we need to peddle until people are happy though
It’s just easier to change manager in the summer, and if Neil doesn’t achieve the play offs it’ll be time to start fresh.Aye let’s sack another manager then and go on the never ending Sunderland cycle
We’re only asking for someone to come in and get us out of the 3rd division! We aren’t expecting Europe just yetHow many more do we need to peddle until people are happy though
We are just going to be shite forever aren’t weWell you and I wanted the last fella peddled and we'd already peddled loads up to that point.
The blokes only just come in, who’s available at the moment?It’s just easier to change manager in the summer, and if Neil doesn’t achieve the play offs it’ll be time to start fresh.
Tightened the defence. It was embarrassing conceding so many under LJ. As for the rest the jury is out but I think he will sort it either this or next seasonI fail to see how Alex Neil has shown anything to suggest he’s any better...
There are mitigation’s for both. I’m saying the objective for Neil is very very clear this season. It would have been for anybody when you sack your manager when you’re third. Or else... what was the point in sacking him.
