Are we improving??

Mcgeady dragged us through that game. Think we missed Bailey Wright at the back against such a physical team. Probably should have played Sanderson instead of Power knowing they'd just lump it into the box for 90 mins.
Individually I think players are improving, but team selection is still questionable.

We controlled possession better under Parky and were more street wise. It has been far more end to end and out of control in almost every game so far under Johnson. Its led to a lot more counter attacking opportunities so we look more dangerous under Johnson, however I dont recall games where we have been totally dominated at this level as we have vs Gills first half and Shrewsbury second half.
 
Easily better.
Exactly the same players but we are creating more chances. He's desperate for a centre forward that can play up front on his own.
Without a beast of a central defender we were always going to struggle unless we played on the half way line and stopped giving away keep set pieces. Flanagan can't do that!
If he doesn't start moving to 4-3-3 or at worst 4-2-3-1 soon I think this season will be play offs at best.
But the way that Johnson wants to play I believe is the best way forward and much better than the previous recent managers.
 
You said

Which is nothing like do you think we are improving under Johnson
Stop the bullying

Bullying?! So we're now allowing over the top opinions to be gospel on here. f***ing hell. I've loved my time here, especially the golf event we had a few years back. But this board has gone to the f***ing dogs. I'm happy to let you embarrassing fucks fight it out between you. Quayside Mackem signing out.

See ya. Not be missed. Its all about people's opinions and if you don't like them then offer a counter opinion instead of shouting someone down as if their opinion doesn't count. This isn't twitter, this is a friendly forum for healthy debate.
 
So basically, you'll give a manager 10 games and if they haven't won all 10 with our shite from previous managers, sack him. Great approach.
Have i said sack him?
League position suggests yes ... slightly
Was expecting a lot more tbh.
Back to type today I thought. No presence, no hold up play. Lots of stupid fouls to give them an easy out. No anticipation in the box.
He was painful to watch.

instead of lumping it we are trying to play it out from the back.

Opposition know that and try to press. Both Shrewsbury and Gillingham did it with good effect.

much prefer us to at least try to play rather than the Parkyball hoof and run.

So yes, but very much work in progress

...but are we improving? I can't see it mate.
 
No we are not. More fragile than before and have been fortunate in recent games to get the points we have.

I think we're potentially worse. Plenty of games with Parky I felt if our finishing had been a bit more fortunate we'd have looked at big leads.
Can't say the same since LJ. Some games we've looked absolutely terrified.

That said I think we miss Hume a lot.
