Johnson post Match

I can help him. Dont start O'Brien ever again.
When McGeady is knackered after about 55 minutes sub him. He should be rested for the next game. Get some f***ing energy and attacking intent in the middle of the field, plodding and pedestrian would describe them. Change your f***ing tactics when the cross from the wing isnt working
He's always been played with Wyke though, can you recall many sides that have played regularly with two big lads up top and made it work? I'd prefer to have seen him replacing Wyke as a sub over a half dozen games or so. I doubt it would make much difference in the short term mind. It took a while for Johnson to bring Wyke up to speed, it'll probably take longer to see what the Jock has to offer, with only a couple of games to go unfortunately we haven't the time now.


It would also give Wyke a break
No I get the impression from his last two interviews it’s fan negativity out there in the ether which is rubbing him and the players up the wrong way


He did allude to it. The weak fucker. Does he expect us to be roaring them on looking at the shit that he has served up the last 6 matches. Stupid little fuckwit. AidenFuckingO' Brien any relation to Danny FuckingGraham!
How's about playing with a midfield 3 instead of shoehoring a totally dogshit waste of space (O'brien) in to the team. How about trusting some of the Young players (Younger, Neil) like our competitors do.


Because it appears Lee Johnson hasnt got the balls, he would rather just fuck it up with his current choices
I haven't watched any of the recent games and stayed clear of PF, so my question is what do folk propose as any sort of solution to current form?


Drop O'Brien, that immediately improves the team without a replacement. He then has to do something with midfield, for all his "control" I thought Leadbitter looked fucked yesterday. Younger in at CH, O'Nien into midfield. Rest McGeady for the next game, and sub him when he is knackered on 55 minutes. Give Wyke a break, start Stewart, he needs everyone fit and raring to go for the playoffs, at the moment we look like we are running on empty

Can’t disagree with his analysis but when he talks about making changes I’m afraid it’s the same as Parkinson. He doesn’t actually have that many options available to him other than replacing similar players with each other and hoping something clicks.
Bizzare selection formations and subs are changes hes made all of which have not yielded the results we've needed.

His tinkering is failing ... all that's left is and over inflated ego and a football David Brent tribute act
 
Maguire fuck me, people genuinely think he’s the answer to the problem.
How do you know he isn’t?
What if he was pissed off his contract was extended last year under Parkinson when he wanted to leave and now maybe wants to stay and his contract isn’t being renewed, perhaps that’s part of the problem? Maybe he wanted to stay in January and play his part so refused a move only to be rewarded by being told he was blocking a pathway to the first team for younger players like Embleton, then be frozen out after playing well & contributing off the bench by a manager that looks more and more like he doesn’t know what he’s doing and seeing other young players like Diamond and Younger ignored. Maybe the problem is that it’s shit management and it’s pissed off a lot of the rest of the dressing room. If so that’s a problem and I’d say Maguire is part of the answer wouldn’t you.
 
Can’t ‘t bear to listen to it. His inane fuckin drivel after every game does my head in. He just spouts shite and tries to sound clever when the fact is that he is fuckin clueless and does not have any plan whatsoever to turn our form around and get us promoted.
 
Stopped listening as soon as he uttered the standard ‘they’re a good side’....... every fucker in the league is a good side according to Bilbo Bellend.
At what point does his position become untenable...
I keep hearing about the team being bottlers and how we've only got 1 centre half... these things are true yet 8 games ago we were getting results ..

Losing sanderson is a big blow... but alone can't explain the magnitude of this implosion

Something has happened behind the scenes and it feels like a mismanagement of whatever that could be is the reason we now are a laughing stock.

Were about to blow the playoffs and it has to be said, is Johnson poisoning his relationship with the fans?

Many must be giving serious thought about whether to cancel ST renewals, if that true does that force KLDs hand?

The thought of coughing up 440 to actually watch that shower of shite...fills me with dread and sadness

To be fair what he said actually made sense. When he talks about maintaining self belief I think that is key - its down to Johnson himself to work out why the belief has drained out and do something about it. Its very strange indeed that he played 433 against Hull and its the only time in the last 10 games or so where we have shown that belief and then he has never replicated that system again - we were over-run in midfield yet again. Its baffling that, to us fans, the solution seems obvious but he doesn't see it that way. I wonder why?

You're missing out. You would have heard all about how we needed more 'pitch personality' and his masterplan for turning it around against Plymouth - lots of sleep and lots of water because it is a long journey.
 
I can’t really disagree with what he’s said, but he really isn’t helping himself with the team he’s picking and the way he’s setting us up.

Everyone knows our best performances under him have come playing 4-3-3, yet for some reason he’s persisting with this 4-2-2-2.

It hangs Leadbitter out to dry playing in a 2 and O’Brien offers absolutely bot sniff.

Baffling.

It feels like everyone with eyes can see that 4-3-3 has given us our strongest performances except Johnson. I know our defensive injury problems limit our options in midfield through having to move Power and O’Nien, but we still have Leadbitter, Scowen, Winchester and Neil for the 3 places (and Gooch could play there at a push)

Anybody with an ounce of football knowledge can see it. We cant say we wernt warned about Johnson mind.

Hopefully the new owner will be ruthless. He is putting a lot of money into this project I cant see him accepting mediocrity at this level.

3 points from 18 for SAFC in Div 3 is just not acceptable.

If people want to clap and stick with Johnson fair enough but we really need to be setting the bar a lot lot higher imho.
 
I would imagine Del and Rodney are delighted to see that a shitstorm on the pitch can happen under somebody else’s watch and will be watching with interest as to how the new regime manage a fractious situation that will become a lot worse if we miss out in the playoffs again.
A longer term vision is all well and good providing the majority of the fan base believe the starting foundations of core players and management are in place from the start of a new season

He doesnt want to play 433, as it would prove him wrong. The same way the f***ing pillock keeps picking O'Brien

Losing Sanderson is a big blow but this manager wouldnt pick ffs till he had to. Probably the best defender in this division. Tells you all you need to know about the quality of Johnson.

Tinkering...is his weakness...
tactically fannying about

his ego is far larger than his ability

he's a poundland Ranieri

The behind the scenes event is probably just some of the players recognising that the 4222 formation is the problem and just a few of them being happy with it I.e. O’Brien and Wyke.

Most players do think about tactics and formations but they probably just have to bite their lips if they disagree with their managers views.
 
Johnson is going no where, the negativity and abuse is not going to help our cause going into the playoffs. Hopefully the staff and take take little or no notice.
