formerly known as ivan Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Does the last two games sum up Johnson as a manager? Consistently inconsistent! WBA tactics and personnel were so wrong it was embarrassing! Tried to be too clever in picking a team based on our opponent and it couldn’t have been much worse. Skip forward a few days and it was the complete opposite. I feel like he picked a line up based on our strengths rather than trying to out think Huddersfield. Someone started a thread not long ago asking about our last good performance. I think we can now say Huddersfield at home, 30th November 2019. The football played in the first half was outstanding and should be how we try to play regardless of who against or where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all down to the manager. Too many people on this forum live in a world of hindsight and think they know better than the manager and the coaching staff. The team put out on Wednesday should have down better, full stop - there were eleven good players at West Brom playing a very common formation, and some of them just didn’t turn up. Today they did, which is great, but I do get frustrated with every poor performance being blamed on the manager as if the players are just helpless puppets.

Obviously, but pretty sure Johnson put the brunt of the criticism against WBA so now he gets the praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem at WBA was predominantly players and poor play. Playing the 3 CMF'ers is something I had wanted to see for a while, and Palmer needs movement ahead of him , so Weimann in and drop Fam made sense, it didn't work. Huddersfield are a totally different proposition. We played the same 3 CMFers, a CF and we were home so players running off of the CF. Not massively different to the WBA game, but massively different opposition. For me, the biggest problem at WBA was misplaced passes, we gave away possession so often, and not just that, we did it in bad situations, effectively setting them up.3 of 4 goals I believe came from our mistakes. We concede 2 today , and the only reason we are not spitting the dummy is that we scored 5. Today we were not briliant with LJ doing a masterclass, just as the other night we were not complete shite with LJ being completely useless.

Alex_BCFC Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Although I think LI got it wrong with tactics and selection Wednesday - what gave WBA the win was us giving the ball away in front of goal three times. Not sure how much you put blame for that on LJ as those players rarely do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highguy Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 From the start of the game the performance gave the fans something to go off and out of our seats and we had a fast start today we had the game won by half time and secured by 50th min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I like Brownhill but the big thing today was picking 2 centre midfielders who are superior to him in the middle, and moving him to Imo his best position on the right. LJ deserves credit for that as I got the impression JB was non negotiable in being picked centre mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
