It's becoming indefensible

If Johnson had a plan, but it wasn't quite coming off, then fair enough, but every week we play a different system with different personnel asked to perform different roles. I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to do. And if I start to get my head around it, we change it again.

Last season, after we lost at home to Fleetwood, Wilson lost his job. It was nothing like that today. Back then we really should have scored half-a-dozen, but poor finishing let us down and they bagged a couple of breakaway goals. Today we were clueless. We've seen a hell of a lot of **** this last decade or so, but nothing worse than what we were served up today.

The way I differ from a lot of people is that I believe if we sack him, we'll get even worse. Although I'm not sure that's a good enough reason to keep him. But I'm fresh out of any other ammunition.

I wouldn't sack him. If it's done it's not in my name. I just can't think of a good enough argument to convince anyone otherwise.

 

I can't see him changing this around but like you can't see that any longer term improvement will come without other changes.

 

I wouldn't sack him!

Just what would you do with him out of curiosity?

 

I think today might be the turning point for me. I want to back him but he's making it really ******* difficult.

If he does go I hope we give Burton and Hecky a chance. They did enough last season to warrant a crack, and from a pessimistic point of view they've already got contracts so it will probably end up costing less when we eventually sack them.

 

Wonder if his number two is having any of nput into his selections/formations?
If he is he needs to put him aside and get someone else in ie flicker with Mellon.
If he isnt then why isn't he?.

 

Smash him round the head with a wet kipper !
In the center circle before every match. That way there will be something good to see every week at Oakwell .

 

I'd sack him after that.

In the bottom four, having just witnessed us lose at home without any sort of an idea as to how we might actually score.

What's the plan? Where's the organisation of the team? How do we put a team under pressure for a while? Where's the effort to win the ball back?

That was bad today. If he loses his job, fine. If he doesn't , it won't be long.

 

Id guess if PC knows his first choice Mark Cooper is willing to take the job, he'll be gone..

 

What abart the band at haif time they were entertaining.

First haif I had visions of the reds team containing Handysides and Ireland.

 

Preferably John Cleese

 

Do you sell Kippers at your shop?

 

Got to agree, we did look better against Fleetwood on that Tuesday night last season than we did today.

 

Yup, that sums up my feelings, too, old mate.

 

Bang on.

Another excellent post Jay. 100% agree.

LJ must learn his lessons.

The philosophy / strategy isn't working. The one that changes from week to week!

This league needs grown men, direct football and then build your youth and footballing policy around that

 

Awful today. Defended Crewe performance because we consistently got in behind them. None of that today.

BUT IMO nowt will change until January at the earliest because this is a squad full of kids who have no confidence and no wise heads on the pitch. Whoever was manager, they'd be dealing with that. And I don't believe the yo yoof strategy is the manager's either.

 

There will be no yoof policy to nurture soon, their confidence will be shot probably in furthering their careers or indeed futures in the game.
A ybody who is anybody knows that older good seasoned pros are needed in their development and progression.
If their left to fend for themselves most will not progress IMO.

 

Them Cheerleaders at Palace would do for me!

Would create a bit of excitement if nowt else

 

I agree, point is I don't think it's the manager's strategy. But he'll take the fall for it, it'll take the heat off and we'll be back sacking the next incumbent soon
