Time to get behind the manager.

No point sacking Johnson. We will end up with the same level of manager who will want to bring in his own players, which by looking at the bigger picture won't happen. Huggins and cirkin are a big loss in the defence, we need another striker as well as a physical cm. Stewart is good but he is out of form. Aob needs shifting on. Gooch should be flying in this league, the fella has played premier league and championship level, like my lad said you can see him playing for morecambe one day as he just has no end product. Alves just looks lazy to me also. Mcgeady has been inconsistent but he is a game changer and creates chances and is now injured. We are in this league for a reason, bad ownership, chopping managers constantly, replacing good players with average. It could be alot worse.

It could be a lot worse. Are you fkn kidding????
 
What is it like compared to our first season here? Seems like a cherry picked stat.

Johnson shouldn't be sacked, but unless he improves us away from home, we won't be going up. Weak as piss.

We don't have a manager. We have a head coach whose only input into the recruitment is that he can turn down players he doesn't want. So there'll be no massive churn in the squad. That's the entire point of the Sporting Director
system

Stewart is out of form because we hoof it to his head 40 yards from goals ffs.

I think he absolutely has to be given until the end of the season and the culture of sacking managers every 12 months has to change.

If he is that clueless and similar other descriptions then how are we within 2 points of top? Explain how a 'clueless' person gets you to that position?

Someone please tell me which League 1 managers could lose all their fullbacks, have a midfielder whose shoulder dislocates every single game and now out for 3 months, another who can seemingly only play 1 game in 3, another playing at right back for large part of the season and yet still get us top 2.
Go on. Someone tell me who is this league 1 genius is as I'm fully on board that we need to get him in. I suspect that I'll be inundated with absolute silence at that question.

The truth is that the squad was partially rebuilt in the summer and its not yet robust enough, it's not yet physical enough and not yet battle hardened enough for automatic. Whether its currently talented enough is highly debatable as well.

Let's see what January brings as 2 or 3 signings and 2 or 3 injuries back could yet be huge this season.
 
Oh right so the lad hasn't been missing chance after chance then and lm not on about the oxford match ffs
 
The fact is chopping and changing your manager every season is not good for anyone.
Yes there are examples of it working (Watford) but in general it does not.

I believe we need to stick with him and evaluate at the end of the season.

I think Johnson probably should be given the season. But if we don't go up he has to go the night the season ends.

He hasn't missed that many tbh no. Eve just started to hoof the fucker. Its the same reason Neil and embleyon have done nothing for weeks. The football has been dire and hoofs up the field.
 
So he has been taking chances then has he when we have been on top of games? No he hasn't. Not his fault, just out of form
 
Here are the stats from the last two seasons.

After 19 games last season we had 30 points & sat in 10th, the season before that we had 27 points after 19 games & sat 13th in the table.

This season isn't going too bad all things considered.

The reason that LJ is under pressure is because of previous failures.

Sacking him is absolutely futile , if a new manager came in the fans would be on his back immediately if we fell away from the promotion pack .

The bigger picture is obvious to see , we probably need 3 half decent signings in January and we will go up.

I also think the takeover at the scum has affected some of our clueless fans. We have no control over it whatsoever so let's forget about it.

Stop pissing the bed and judge at the seasons end.
I too am fully behind Johnson ,100%.


The difference between us is I'm there with a bayonet marching him out of the doors. He should never have been appointed and the more you look at his appointment it stinks of the Chancers option before they stepped aside (I'll not say stepped down yet) and the incoming new owners reps agreed.

4 points from the last two away games. That's promotion standard.
 
Ah well that makes L1 football and teams fantastic eh ? So we just accept our lot in this shithouse league because we might have been in administration
Have l said that? No. Are we in the bottom half of the table or are we pushing for promotion with a depleted squad?
