You have it in your tank to be promoted but getting everything right at the same time is difficult so be patient (both you and IH). I can't understand the early game problem, it's a regular come from behind situation, See what happens v the gas.
Ownership & management have to go hand in hand. If the time they don't has come he'll be off as most managers do in that situation. Either binned or call it a day, are any signs there? I can tell by his face & comments in interviews that he isn't enamoured by something.
Criticising your own club's fans is something few managers can ever escape from, it's tantamount to dismissing yourself. And one or two over the years have used it to their own benefit (i.e. pay-off settlement), Something just isn't sitting right, but exactly what?
If they're still putting themselves on the line for him & doing as he asks thats a good sign but with him being a "thinker" so trying different thigs at times it probably confuses a few if they're young, from abroad or not on his wavelength. I can imagine he rolls his dice frequently if pushed into a tight corner, when something works the players & fans will love him but if/when it doesn't the knives/critics come out. Football fans are an impatient lot as you probably know epecially when their team has injury or selection problems in a tightening promotion chase.
Match upSouth Shields match off so find myself watching the Swindon v Oldham game on Telly....was a Premier League match up way back in 1992-93......
Oldham having the better of it but succumbed to a simple ball over the top down the left and knocked into the box where the young loanee had loads of room to bring it down well and slam it under the diving keeper. 1-0 Robins!!
Intrigued by a billboard saying Dirty and also wondering what the Match Day specials are at the Magic Chippy?
Got a mate who's a swindon fan, apparently the lino was getting some shit from the swindon fans and she signaled 1-0 back to them
You've got it right there. I'm not convinced it's only the play-offs for you. As you've posted it's such a turbulent ever changing division so it's about doing the things that work best to collect the points.
+ 3 points.
You've answered my next question, but why? What's missing? A style of play that the players can't do well enough, players not mentally strong or good enough when the pressure is mounting? Swindon aren't out of it but have other teams worked you out to get a result? Some of your football (that I saw) earlier was untouchable at L2 level so I thought you'd get stronger but it's going the other way.
There's only one man that has full responsibilty for on-pitch events, if the players are confused with what is or isn't being instructed game by game their heads will drop which usually results in goals being conceded. I wondered whether the Morfuni situation in general was having an effect - either with IH or other backgound issues but I'm surprised your game has gone to the aimless punts with runners lottery after you had a decent controlled possession game.
