With Bryan's form this season in losing the striker he should gift us a goal. FFS if we win their again this season then SL should demand rent for Craven Cottage as we clearly own the place. Its likely because they are decent at home and clearly should be higher up the table. I would say we are also due a loss there too. Very happy to be proved wrong.

Xiled Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 For me, it's not an argument about the year on year progress - the stats back that up and despite how we've been playing, we're still well placed this season. What is overlooked is the potential that these players have - Bentley, Kalas, Williams, Nagy, Brownhill, Massengo, Palmer, Eliasson. This group could get us out of the division at a canter with a decent January striker and a pattern of play that doesn't just set out to nullify the opposition. I like LJ a lot but this squad should be doing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has had a load of money to spend and yes, we have sold key players but that was embarrassing. We made a net profit of nearly £30m on transfers in summer 2018, and a significant profit in summer 2019 We've had long-term injuries in pretty much every position where we have little cover We're outside the play-offs on goal difference when every team inside (bar Preston) has a significantly larger wage/transfer budget than us We've lost three games all season Maybe someone could do a better job but come on.

Carey 6 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I can’t believe after all this time Johnson hasn’t figured out that Bailey Wright cannot play in a back 3. Almost every time we’ve attempted it with him in there we struggle. Unless he’s RCB in a 2, it’s just not worth playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 At this point in time we have the infrastructure in place, squad and future investment of the club; maybe a new manager really would be the catalyst that would propel us forward as we've stopped progressing long ago in the football department.

We are an average championship side who sometimes play well and sometimes play badly. Same with most teams at this level. I do wonder why some people want us to be beating the likes of Doncaster and Gillingham rather than giving the likes of Forest, Cardiff, Boro etc all a tight game where we don't dominate for 80 minutes. Forest -we was outplayed in the first half and didn’t have a shot on target for 90 mins and 35 of them against 10 men cardiff -again we was poor and had 1 shot on target proper smash and grab boro - we threw away 2 points mistakes costed yet again wigan - we was poor mistakes costed us and again threw 2 points away preston - away we threw 2 points away yeah granted ref was poor but again mistakes costed us barnsley - 2 goal lead against bottom of the table luton - won’t even get started there we dropped 10 points from winning positions so far and 6 of them have been at home.

Topper 123 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think he needs to set the team up sat to go out and attack , the people who pay players wages deserve to be entertained and 3 shots on target in three games ain’t entertainment, my son watches every week and he said it’s terrible to watch ,come on Johnson when at home let’s get at teams and Then you might hear the roar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tin Soldier Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 It is now plain to see that we have gone as far as we can with Johnson. Mid table mediocrity beckons soon. But at least that is better than relegation. Frustratingly, I think this team is better than mid table though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpy88 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I think the style of football is the problem. It’s been nothing short of awful apart from 6 months since he’s been here. Lets not forget although we have sold a lot of players but LJ has spent a hell of a lot of money since he’s been here. People go on about our budget but not too many championship teams spend are lucky to spend 10+ million every season. LJ needs to let the handbrake off (especially at home) and ditch the 352 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why we are 7th. We are doing relatively well overall. Home performances and results must improve if we are to make the playoffs. Thats about it.

No mate I went to sleep I didn’t disappear. Again the questions were posed in another comment easy enough to go back and read it. As far as the original comment and my “dishonesty” if you can’t sense the bit of humour to make it tongue in cheek then it is on you but I am certain it was quite clear. The only serious bit in it is that he doesn’t seem to have pressure from SL to put out good performances because they are friends. Only time will tell if that is true or not.

Brooko Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Taxi? No, but he got plenty wrong last night and really should have come out in the post match interview and said "Firstly, I got it wrong" Formation was wrong needed changing to give us more of an attacking threat (442?). Palmer should have been hooked after 15 minutes not 45, Wright was not the type of centre back to play against perhaps the fastest and most agile front men in the Champ, Nagy usually tidy on the ball but his laboured tempo made him a target for their middle men. Weimann had no chance and was too isolated......etc Instead LJ chose to blame four players that didn't turn up and do their jobs. He is right and it was more than four, but lets have some balance Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 The worst time to read this forum is immediately after a bad defeat. On reflection - I feel we were beaten by a better side last night that was full of confidence. WBA have some exceptional players and look likely to be promoted on that showing. Diangana in particular I felt looked great, but their overall system (high energy creative midfielders with Hal Robson-Kanu leading the line) just worked really well. Contrast with us playing a system which pretty obviously doesn't maximise our personnel. I feel unless you've specifically recruited players to play a 5-3-2 (ie Cotterill in the 14/15 season) then it won't work well. You need a ball playing centre half which we didn't have yesterday and you need players who have the attributes to play wingback.. not just players who are primarily full backs filling in. The wingbacks are possibly the most important position in that system so you can't just shoehorn players in there if it doesn't play to their strengths. I don't really want to see us play 5-3-2 again without Hunt or Dasilva (who I think could have the attributes to play wingback very well) or Taylor Moore (as a ball playing centre half) in the side. I think ultimately Johnson got it wrong, but definitely not time to get rid. Despite injuries still in a very good position in the league with plenty of time left to go.

Can’t understand why anyone would want to sack Johnson tbh Don’t think we are in a position to sack him. He has done well at this club but I do think it is time he receives some pressure for performances though. Going on two years of backwards performances. Home form in particular where there are 20000 people there to support them but their job to entertain. We have taken 45 points from a possible 93. We have scored only 38 goals in those games. That is last year and this. The 2 shots on target in the last 3 games is worrying and we converted those two! Our conversion rate is what is keeping us in the top half and the xG table(not a perfect metric but a good determination on performances) has us 17th. Those xG stats usually even out over a season. There is reason to be concerned about this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
