brizzlelou Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I was a big critic of LJ and was puzzled by SL and his decision to stick with him but fair play to the two of them. LJ has done a cracking job of turning things around and I am so happy to be proven wrong. Fantastic effort from all involved in this run of form and here's to smashing brum to top off the season!!! I've said a few things in the heat of the moment throughout this season but that's the joy of being a city fan I suppose. Onwards and upwards and bring on next season!!!!!!! We all know what this team can do now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that its, don't know why it took so long for the penny to drop.. I have warmed a bit towards Lee now, I hope he has learned from this season and will stop tinkering and trying to be so overly clever in what he does, keep it simple, settled side and play to our strengths..

hollydog Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Fair play to LJ. Nobody could argue that tonight's efforts represented a consummate away performance. I hope those who posted the vile personal abuse to the guy earlier in the season are ashamed of themselves. Everybody has the right to an opinion but some of the comments on this forum were beyond the pale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a trap a lot of managers fall into when they go on a bad run. Why they don't pick a settled side I don't know. Think McInness was guilty of the same thing. SL didn't give him the benefit of doubt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he do it again? Well, he deserves the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 An amazing turnaround. A great effort by all concerned. I've been a big critic and remain unconvinced by LJs long term credentials. Now is not the time to go over it again so I'll just enjoy it like everyone else. He's obviously here next season so I hope lessons learned stand us in good stead for a great campaign. Just the tonic for his dad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milo1111 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 LJ has improved of late and basically stopped calling out the players and sticking with a settled side that as others of said plays to our strengths. More of the same required come august. If he reverts to the BS speak and tinkering and we are bottom 3 come oct i will be calling for him to go again. But fair play to him for our recent form. We have been playing really well. Long may it continue. Maybe he has got something about him afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I think this win was completely unexpected and massively puts LJ back in credit in my view. He's had to deal with a lot of personal criticism & every fan questioning his ability and rightly so considering the extremely poor run we went on. There will always be a certain amount of mistrust just below the surface with some fans largely due to his father having managed the club previously. I am extremely pleased he's been able to negotiate an very difficult time and come out the other side. Although it can't entirely wipe the slate clean I think this result goes a long way to repairing the bond between the head coach and fans. I hope this carries on to the final game. I think he's learnt a lot this season and I hope he feels comfortable enough to take the applause after the final game because you know what? I think he deserves it.

If you're going to play that game, I raise you....look at our form when Holden joined! Very few of any of us know what goes on at that level. So let's not throw in comments like that...please. It's too easy and has no basis. 15 minutes ago, milo1111 said: LJ has improved of late and basically stopped calling out the players and sticking with a settled side that as others of said plays to our strengths.

I'm not convinced, but I will be if he continues to show this recent courage in his convictions and no BS. I think he may have realised the type of player and player character he can motivate.
