Maybe the board were right

Early days I know but after a decent start and players seeming to be enjoying their football again, not to mention us fans, maybe, just maybe, the board were right to sack Danny. Not a disliker of Danny and will always be grateful for what he did for us first time round but as said in the Football Paper on Sunday it's nice for a young manager to be given a chance rather than the same tired old faces that do the rounds
Long may it continue

 

Or maybe the likes of Nyatanga and Cranie have stopped making stupid mistakes that Danny had no control over

 

Possibly Ryhill but some players seem to play better for some managers and his staff than others, possibly due to the system they play or coaching given. Still only dawn, let's see what the day brings

 

They've done the right thing, we couldn't carry on as we was, it had to be done and it was.

 

We are playing exactly the same as the 4 home games we won under a Danny. Dull, boring lacking any forward intent but grinding out results. There's has been no change in level of performance.

 

Success breeds confidence though and if the results come, no matter how, then hopefully the entertainment levels will be upped . Would love us to entertain all the time but give me a 1-0 win over a 4-3 defeat anytime

 

What about the high energy ball pressing all over the field thats limiting the oppositions attacking threat, didn't see too much of that under Wilson apart from one or two players. Conceding a goal will show us a lot about the attitude of the players, but so far it seems to have improved 10 fold since he left. The football is a little better but nothing to write home about, but we're more organised and together no doubt about it in my eyes, the product needs to improve still but the change in attitude is plain to see.

 

That is absolute rubbish.

 

I'm not saying that we are playing the same style but that the results in terms of performance are exactly the same. We lack movement up front. Waring is too often isolated. The wingers we have are inconsistent and frustrating and do not have enough movement off the ball for the system we are attempting to play. We have shored the defence up by playing 2 competitive combative central midfielders but we are still not balancing this with any real attacking intent. If Coventry had taken their first half chances would have been 2or 3 goals up by half time(luckily like the other 5 teams we have played at home recently they were *****).

In terms of quality last nights performance was comparable with Oldham no better no worse. Its an average league we are an average team.

I like Johnson he speaks well and hopefully will get us playing some attractive winning football. It's daft to think any of that has happened yet. Now when we play Bristol, Preston and **** U if we play fast flowing attractive football and best the lot of them that will be a sign of real progress. At the minute it's more of the same ( though at least we are playing Hourihane in his proper position).

 

Explain how we were better than against Oldham. Did you watch the grist half where Coventry had 4 reasonable chances to our none.

Went with a mate of my dad's last night who has been a scout for various league clubs over the years and he commented on the paucity of the football on offer from both teams and he rarely has a bad word to say about owt.

 

Of course the Board were right , we were on a never-ending downwards plunge under him.
Or you could say they were wrong ... For giving Wilson the job in the first place . He was always the wrong appointment

 

I'm struggling to get rid of an image of Joe Pasquali giving the half time team talk other than he's doing alright

 

Wilsons gone, we have a new "head coach" we are winning games and keeping clean sheets....the right decision was made at the right time...get over it.

 

We'll never know because I'm absolutely convinced we had the potential to go a run like we have with Danny in charge, just like we did earlier in the season.

But he's gone now, I still don't agree with it but hopeful we'll stumble upon a winning formula sooner rather than later.

 

Let's see how smiley we all are when we lose one or Johnson picks a side/makes a substitution we don't agree with.

Could've been 2-0 down in half an hour last night. Fine margins and that.

 

You're in denial and it's quite sad really.

A lot of the Wilson backers seem to be Danny Wilson fans rather than BFC fans.

The continuous probing about Crynes son at the recent supporters meeting was laughable.

Danny was sacked for underperforming. The only valid reason to keep him was so we didn't have to sack another manager. The board weighed everything up and most fans can see they definitely made the correct decision.

 

I'm not in denial at all if you thought last nights performance was any better than the last 6/7 clearly it's you who is in denial. See Jay's separate post for a better explanation. You just want to see something that isn't there. I'm committed to a long term strategy for my club not any particular manager. But it's beyond ridiculous of you to see a match that Coventry could have easily won as some new beginning. The first half was as bad as we have played all season. We rode our luck scored a goal and went on to play ok. Coventry will feel hard done to.

I'm happy with the appointment of Johnson he seems able to follow the long term plan and be willing to use the wisdom of crowds model our board favour (as do I). I thought there were more important questions myself than about Cryne's son. The test of Johnson will for him to go out and recruit the standard of players that Wilson/the spreadsheet did.

A lot of the people who seem to be Danny Wilson haters offered him and the club no support and should be ashamed of themselves. But then again the first Time Johnson has a rocky patch they will be exactly the same. Fickle. We used to write entire episodes of South Riding starring Albert Fairweather there's plenty on here who could play him in Oakwell the movie.
