Love LJ, me. Hope he stays for decades and becomes a legend.Talking a lot of sense
Agree with most of that but it was Wimbledon not Wycombe marra
He should probably change it and bring some of the fringe players in, but there’s no guarantee they will be better (as some seem to think is inevitable) and he has given those who started so well a chance to redeem themselves.So it's got nothing to do with his team selections, his in game management, and his awful substitutions?
Your picking and choosing is ridiculous. Picking out the one game where “hanging on” didn’t result in a win then “lost a fair fee since then”, completely ignoring the other wins.
Shameful stuff.
Taking lessons off SD & CMThe bloke's a modern day snake-oil salesman.
Why do we want a typical league 1 manager if we are wanting to be better than league one. Not defending him like just a weird thing to pick out.No other L1 manager would speak like that ! He tries way to hard to be ‘different’
Sadly you’re not wrong. We desperately need to find a balance between ‘trying to play the right way’ and ‘trying to play the way you do to get out of this league’.Okay let’s run through them to make it obvious.
Wigan - 2-1 hanging on.
MK Dons - 2-1 hanging on.
Burton - 0-1 should’ve won.
Wimbledon - 1-0 hanging on.
Wycombe - Won comfortably.
Accrington 2-1 hanging on.
Bolton 1-0 hanging on.
Cheltenham - won comfortably against relegation fodder.
Portsmouth - got humped.
Gillingham - 2-1 hanging on with 10 men.
Crewe 4-0 won comfortably against relegation fodder.
Charlton - 0-1 against a managerless team.
Rotherham - Humped 1-5.
Sheffield wed - Humped 3-0.
So we’re getting progressively worse, conceding more and scoring less. Most of our results we were hanging on at the end, except against the shite teams. I’m not picking and choosing anything. We’ve won convincingly 3 times all season. Promotion winning teams find ways to win when they’re playing poorly, but they don’t play as much as we do.
I was at the Wycombe game and they bombarded us for the first 15 mins with aerial stuff we survived just and hit them with a sucker punch, maybe that was an early indicator of our weak spotSadly you’re not wrong. We desperately need to find a balance between ‘trying to play the right way’ and ‘trying to play the way you do to get out of this league’.
See Wycombe. Dirt awful side. We completely embarrassed them. But they’re suddenly above us, and will almost certainly be knocking about in the top 6, because they’re effective at winning games in this league. Sheff wed is another, they had 35% possession ffs. They just watched Rotherham cross and score, cross and score, and copied them. Rotherham were dominant, but it was more just ‘effective’ than good football. Simple shite sides, playing shite football, making our defence look scared and clueless.
Plenty players are getting stick on here and at the match but isn't it the managers job to see what's happening in front of him and do something about it? His in game management is shocking, as proved again this season.He should probably change it and bring some of the fringe players in, but there’s no guarantee they will be better (as some seem to think is inevitable) and he has given those who started so well a chance to redeem themselves.
No one seems willing to blame the players, that’s been the case here for years. Flanagan is a great example. He’s been largely poor since he signed and I was all for getting rid of him in the summer. He had a purple patch but now teams are pressing us and getting crosses in he is back to his usual level. He can’t cope with it and is very weak in the air. Being alongside a bairn isn’t helping.
He is not alone but he is a good example of a player who was performing well just completely losing it and you can’t blame Johnson for him being out-jumped and out muscles week after week.
He is known for being streaky.Bacon,bacon,blah,blah,blah
