Bjorn1887 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Something just occurred to me today. I am interested if you guys will agree with my insight. There is something with Lee Johnson that is hard to ignore. His First club Oldham Athletic: He tried to play football the right way and was instantly popular because of this. In his second season the Latics finally started to get the results the performances deserved and shot up into the playoff positions. However, 5 defeats in a row soon occurred and the team were around 13th in the table. At this point he still very much had a lot of credibility. He was offered an interview at Oakwell and won over the board with his presentation and excellent interpersonal skills. His second club Barnsley: Instantly he came in and won 6 games on the trot. Fair play of course, turning a flaying side into a promotion chasing one. At the Easter period there was 10 games to go with the side 5th in the table. Long story short the Reds failed to win a single one of them and ultimately finished 11th. In the 15/16 season he sets up to play like Pep's Barcelona. After a slow start to the season the team nosedives to 24th getting knocked out of the cup by Altrincham. Around these times of course it looks like his career is in jeopardy. However with his brand of football and being very likeable the club decide to bring in some reinforcements and suggest a change of style (I say this because as head coach transfers wasn't his decision). Again credit where it is due the club won 7 in a row and make it to the JPT final. He Leaves the club in 13th. He gets offered an interview by his former club and again works his magic with his presentational skills. His Third club Bristol City: Comes into a club in a relegation scrap and wins 7 out of 16 games. Great stuff. In his first full season however despite having considerable finances and the best striker in the League he cannot push on up the table. Last season the club has a great first 3/4 of the season always around the playoffs, but then a run of about 10 winless away games and the team eventually finishes in 11th. I am sorry if my thoughts on Bristol City are vague or perhaps false but its roughly what I gather. I do not wish to cause any offence. As I've referred to several times as a young English coach who speaks very well and tries to play attractive football it is not surprising that he is fashionable. He has real positives and that cannot be denied. But honestly at the moment the best way to describe him would be a boom or bust manager. Sorry Lee but at the end of the day his C.V currently reads: guided Oldham from midtable League 1 to midtable League 1, guided Barnsley from midtable League 1 to midtable League 1 and fairly inconsistent at his current club. I don't say this to put a downer on the guy but these are my honest thoughts. If he continues in this vein I'm afraid that his star will soon fall. I wonder if he is still immensely popular in your parts. I can understand that he did a great job for much of last season. Well that is all and I will see you all next year.

Bar BS3 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Basically, it’s clear to all, including SL & LJ himself, that this season needs to see the eradication of these previous prolonged bad runs. He’s provided plenty of good runs, to prove he CAN do a good job. If he can stamp on these long winless runs going beyond a few matches, then all good.

Your views are not uncommon or original, so unlikely to upset the majority on here. Why are you interested in our management to the extent that you join the forum and start this thread?

Bris Red Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 A ramble of things we already knew. I think everyone is aware LJ included that another prolonged poor run this season will result in the chop for him, lets just see how it pans out ay..

JoeAman08 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Think we are all well aware of his failings and most want to see more consistency in his team this season. It did not really need another thread tbh and the way it ended made me think you were trying to stir something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontariored Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 It's LJ wishing he played in Sweden. So, LJ was the pivotal factor that allowed these clubs to win. Guess what happened when GJ put LJ on in "DEFENCE" in the closing minutes of the play-off game we had with Hull that would have gotten us into the Premier.

TonyTonyTony Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 If LJ was sacked, he would be picked up by another club no problem. Unless you are Man C or Liverpool the grass is always greener regarding managers If not LJ, who ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deffenatly concerning about our bipolar form (which feeds the split opinions of him) but the facts are every club he has been at have been left in a better position after he has arrived and twice he has turned around clubs under serious relegation threat. The last bit I highlighted just to further show how you happy to ignore facts to make a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
