I actually think only Rotherham are relegation certainties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have ended with "time for LJ to step up?"

mrevans Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Our record since the win against MU on 20th December 2017: D, W, L, L, L, L, L , D, L, W, L, D, D, D, L, W, L, D, W, D, L, L, W, L, D, D, L and yesterday D Played 28, Won 5, Drawn 10, Lost 13 I back LJ (for now) because I support City however, this above record doesn’t make great reading and I don’t think it’s wrong based on it, to ask the question posed by the original OP. One thing I find interesting is that he seems to be well thought of, in wider football circles. Personally, I think the way he speaks and presents himself as a modern, football manager is excellent. In my (humble) opinion, he sometimes struggles when plan A doesn’t work or when opposition coaches change their formation or tactics. Yesterday against a 6’ 8” goalkeeper, why didn’t we, at some point, have our 6’ 7” striker? (Is Duric injured?) I am certainly looking forward to seeing our new players bed in . My wish is that he had more experience in his coaching staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo1111 Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 19 hours ago, Kid in the Riot said: On Radio Bristol before the game SL said the aim for this season is to finish higher than last season (11th). He did go on to say that he addressed the squad this morning and told them he "wasn't getting any younger" and wanted to see the club promoted to the Premier League sooner rather than later. He said to 20man that there was no great pressure for it to happen this season and if it didn't then he would look to the season after. Nothing firm but possibly an indication that LJ has a couple of seasons to get us there. He's under no pressure this season I would suggest, unless we end up in a relegation battle. This all day long. If we are in a relegation battle at Xmas I would be stunned if SL kept faith. Anything above that and he will and should remain in situ.

I still think of LJ as a relatively inexperienced manager and I do think he'd benefit from an experienced coach/number 2 alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends where you measure Lee's performance from......if its from the end of December last year then he definitely needs to up his game. But if its from the start of this season then one draw against a decent side seems acceptable. But many might say that you cant just write off the latter half of last season which was not a good managerial performance and showed worrying flaws in his abilties as a manager. Having said that we may go on a great run over the next 10 games and all will be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take each season individually, or take the entirety of his time here- any other way means a large chance the the start date has been picked to suit the argument.

joenaldo Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Absolutely no chance we will be relegated this year - the bottom half of this championship looks too poor. Many clubs under financial pressure and some have poor squads with many injuries may see them dragged into things. As long as the players look like they want to play for lee (as he has bought many of them now) then Ill be happy with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s time we took a harder line then. Maybe it’s time we banned returned posters, those with multiple accounts, those who send threats through PMs, those who call me a **** on twitter and think I can’t see it, those that proclaim that OTIB needs shutting down, those that spend hours just snaking a persons post because they don’t like them. Or maybe everyone could grow the **** up and learn to get on with each other on here or ignore posts and views they don’t agree with because frankly right now in the words of Red ‘I couldn’t give a s**t’ Maybe I should just ban myself, that works. Please don't ban me I pay a fiver each year so I can post complete bollocks and be an areshole. ps I really don't want to grow up tried it once and didn't like it. pps A big congratulations on the baby.
