Robbored Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Why Junior started with one up top? When we saw the team we all groaned with stunned looks at each other. Wtf? The first half was shockingly poor and only improved when Taylor was joined by Duric. Then we looked like a team. Essentially he wasted two substitutions.......

cityexile Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 That one being a 37 year old who was being asked to play his 4th game in ten days. Signed 19 players, 3 worth a start. 1 win in 17 v Rotherham at home. We are down. LJ is here until the end of the season. Accept that and it all is a little less painful. My only hope is that he is not here at the start of next. I am not entirely confident of even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Its because he wanted to pick the players he feels he can "trust"... IE the ones that havent yet called him out on being a useless muppet. Expect a lot more of this to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Even more bizarre was that in the 1st half Corey Smith was the furthest forward of the midfielders almost playing as a number 10. This is the Corey Smith that has scored about 1 goal in 3 seasons. Another Johnson tactical genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ can't win no matter what he does, people complain that he changes the team too much, he makes no changes - people moan, he makes limited changes - people moan!! Players have been struggling with injuries, so players will need to be replaced or are unable to start because of fitness issues. No one knows what goes on at training or who's picked up what injuries or knocks but if all else fails, it's LJ's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Because he's an incompetent buffoon that has too many toys to play with. As a consequence of this, he tries playing with far too many toys, getting all the pieces/accessories mixed up, and then forgets where everything goes. Every now and then he'll find a toy that he forgot about a while ago, and suddenly start playing with it again. He then remembers that it's not one of his favourite toys, and throws it at the back of the cupboard to gather dust for a while. I think I've actually lost it now to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fontaineofallknowledge Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Djuric should have started up front regardless. Wilbs showed that he Cannot play 3 games in a week! that said we would have won if Vyner hadn't had dropped a bo**ock for their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially he wasted two substitutions....... He's so risk adverse that the best we can hope for at home under him is to salvage draws. Reid is essentially a waste of space, and trying to push Smith on to support Wilbs was bizzare. So starting Taylor for Reid would've seemed appropriate. Duric in place of Wilbs was a no brainer - I can't begin to fathom that one out. As I said to my mate a decent manager would've returned all 3 points from that game. It is actually a much simpler game than LJ tries to make it. Oh well, lets just prepare to be upset on saturday when a semi fit Tammy limps around up front on his own for 70 minute befoe LJ decides to change it up.

What not go 3-5-2 and have both a 5 man midfield that doesn't get over run and two up front to create and take chances? A point is little use to use in our situation. 5 wins in 10 games now needed = miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Not defending him, as first half was abysmal as always when at home he plays this lone striker b******s. Second half was a transformation, should have won, their keeper made some great stops. On radio on way home he was asked about this and defends it as saying we get over run in middle of park, and has a good bench to change it as and when. Cites Fulham as an example. If that is the case why have we signed 19 players, none of which able to 'stand up ' and be counted and we need extra body in middle of the park to counter the quality of the oppositions midfield. Why did we not get real quality in the middle of the park. I thought that was Hegeler was going to be ? In fairness there is hope to our situation. He needs to man up and go out and try to win these games from the off, not twaddle about leaving a 37 year old isolated on his own hoping to flick the ball onto Bobby Reid.

It would seem that not losing is now LJ's game plan rather than going for the three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think ultimately he hasn't (didnt) have the medals to motivate a better breed of player than himself when the chips were down It's easy when things are going well, it's when things are failing you need that extra bit of presence in the dressing room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, he got a lot of (deserved) stick at times for being lightweight, predictable and totally unimaginitive as a central midfielder. Psychologically scarred and determined that his players won't face the same criticisms he did? As an aside what happened to Josh Brownhill? Unless I missed an injury he had a brief flirtation with the first team before entering the Engvall zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
