It is clear we are not playing well to a point where we aren’t just plucky losers that aren’t having the ball run in their favor, but just bad!
One of the biggest issues with me right now is we have a manager that is openly saying that he can’t get the players to implement what he’s teaching them!
That I thinK is probably true on some level, but what concerns me is how do you motivate players (people) that you are making plain even in the media you don’t want.
So I was thinking about when I was under threat of being made redundant and how I got myself up to work!
How would people on here seriously be approaching the players (or employees) to get results under those circumstances?
It doesn't matter what field you work in, if you are a manager who needs to motivate and manage your team to do what you want then it's 100% on you to make them understand your message and for you to motivate them to work

I’m expecting a much better performance than the last 3 with some decent attacking play and maybe even a goal.
But Ipswich can’t do anything wrong at the moment. They’re riding one of those waves that happen to clubs (not us) once in a blue moon.
I predict 3-1
It did happen to us under GJ but we choked and then didn't turn up in the playoff final!

I was in Washington DC some years ago just after they’d had about 4 foot of snow come down.
They coped with it pretty effectively: the snow ploughs come out and shift it. The trouble is they shift everything on the road onto the pavement, which ends up under 8 foot of snow!
So, yes, you’re OK with a vehicle of any sort, not so good if you’re walking! But they don’t on the whole!
In Germany it is the residents responsibility to clear pathways of snow outside their houses, which means all the paths are cleared and it costs the council nothing!
I had a call last year with our Canada off ie and they said they will always go into the office unless it's minus 20 C as that's a bit too cold!

Mad that if Stoke win their next 2 and we lose our next 2 we will be level on points with a team currently 3rd bottom!

What's so shocking is how quickly he's done it too.
He's the football equivalent of Liz Truss!

Can't get my head around WTF has happened since West Ham, Southampton, Boro, then this crap.
Had a really good feeling about today, so lumped £100 on the win, but as always, they let me down
Never bet on City I thought everyone knew that!

We must be near bottom 3 of the form table by now. Awful. Glad we gave him a 3 year deal.
Manning out
Bottom 4 on the 6 game form table, 6 points from 6, very poor when you consider those 6 points were in the first 3 games against teams above us

Sod him.
He wasn’t very good when he was here. He only achieved cult status because someone made up a song rhyming Knowle with Senegal.
He now plays for those shits over the border.
**** him. Why would I cheer him?So are you saying it's a maybe?

I just couldn’t vote on this poll, as if Manning was sacked, it would be Dumb and Dumber doing the recruitment, so who could have any confidence they’d make the right choice in getting in a replacement?
My really big issue with Manning is he appears to be a one trick pony, who can only contemplate and work with one playing style. To compound that, he seems incapable of adapting our tactics during a match and if our opposition change their gameplan, he doesn’t seem able to respond to counter them.
The only time we’ve looked really threatening under him is when we’ve moved back to a counter attacking game through necessity, but that clearly isn’t his chosen style. Even if he got the players to suit his chosen possession based style, I can imagine plenty of opposition managers outgunning him tactically.
I just can’t see any indications that he could organise a team to dominate the opposition and actually hurt them. It’s ok making umpteen square passes, but you’ve eventually got to do something positive and I can’t see any signs of him knowing how to make that happen.
I just feel totally underwhelmed by him and dread the thought of us starting next season with him and seeing yet another season going down the crapper. The only way I see him getting us out of this division is through the relegation trap door tbh.
Just vote FYI I'm pretty sure this poll wasnt set up by JL!

Absolutely.
GJ did brilliantly to get us up and then the following season was just magic.
But after that he signed players that he struggled to manage and then some proper shite. The roots to our relegation lead to GJ.
Same with LJ. Did well to keep us in this division and then built upon that to get us competing for the play offs but then just like his Dad he signed players he struggled to managed and then also signed some proper shite.
We'd probably have got relegated this time too if it wasn't for Pearson.
I wonder if we suffer from not being an attractive club so we have to dish out longer contracts than some of the perceived bigger clubs do to try and get the player? Especially when you chuck in the mix a perceived lower division manager like GJ, LJ, LM etc who doesn't have the pulling power?

Nearly every manager has failed somewhere and usually multiple times, but unless you look at the context of the "failure" it's irrelevant.

Have you seen what Arsenal are doing? Obviously helps that they have more fans than seats, but that seems draconian to me.
Whilst a great initiative when selling out every week like Arsenal, for us the problem is the disparity in pricing and the availability of more expensive seats on the day, which means people buy in the south stand and move seats to Lansdown. They will have scanned their season ticket at the gate so the data will say they utilised their seat. I can't see how it could be policed after that

Realise this may come up in the “dead of 2024” thread on the general forum but this one is a bit of a shock. For a lot of us, Italia 90 was a real moment and the German team are as fresh in the mind as the England team - players like Klinsmann, Voller and particularly Matthaus (in my best team ever).
Brehme was huge in there and the best left back in the world at that time. For the three Dutchman at AC Milan, read the three Germans at Inter for who underpinned the best teams in the world.
Just one that makes you realise how long ago that summer was, and seems way too young. How can players from the era of Barnes, Lineker etc be leaving us already?
I had about 10 Brehme swapsies I remember!

The Ivan rabbit hole has unearthed this article, he played for Moldova v England when Beckham made his debut and Ivan missed a pen!

As always a good podcast. Echoing much of what fans have been saying on here, but what amazes me is how Ian is now able to be so reasonable about LM failings, having never been so with NP. It smacks of being so hypocritical having a go at fans who are moaning about yesterday.
He cuts LM so much slack. He mentions allowing him preparation time, the calibre of the players he’s got and “looking in his rear view mirror” about yesterdays game, in other words putting it behind us (which is fair enough but let’s have that across the board).
He actually said that he was fed up with fans, who were exalting LM after the wins against Boro’ and S’Hampton and are now saying after yesterday’s game makes him the worst manager. Said he can’t do tricks etc. Never heard him being so supportive of NP or allowing any of the very real challenges that NP faced as an excuse for not doing better.
This change of face seems to have come about since his ITK status, maybe coincidence?
Makes me laugh
Why don't you set up a podcast which is more balanced?

On Monday 22nd January, the day before our away fixture at Bristol Rovers, we received a request from BRFC to sell South Stand tickets to home supporters at a discounted price of £10 up until kick off.
This was in an effort to hit the 75% capacity requirement for the match to be classified as a ‘test event’ as part of the opening procedures for the new South Stand at The Memorial Stadium. Despite the short notice, we decided it was right thing to do to support Bristol Rovers with the ‘test event’, and given the circumstances, that our supporters would understand the resulting price disparity.
However, in the days after the game and without consultation, Bristol Rovers have offered a refund to home fans who had purchased tickets at full price in the South Stand. We have made representations to both the EFL and Bristol Rovers proposing the that the same refund should apply to Exeter City supporters who were seated in the South Stand that night.
We are yet to reach a satisfactory outcome with Bristol Rovers but we want to resolve this inequality for our supporters as quickly as possible. As a result, Exeter City Football Club, with the unequivocal backing of the Supporters Trust, will be issuing refunds to all those affected. An automatic account credit for any supporter seated in the South Stand who purchased a ticket at a cost higher than £10 (all age categories apart from under 14) will be processed in the coming days.
For example, a full paying adult who purchased a ticket for £26, will have £16 credited to their ticketing account for future purchases.
We thank supporters for their patience as we have tried to rectify the issue as fairly and quickly as possible.
Sorry didn't realise it had already been posted, but nice to see again
