No great fan of our present manager BUT is it all his fault.......are all our players his first choices or are they just what we can afford? I think the point is that the current crop of players have proven that they can get outstanding results. It's just that they don't very often, which means that they - and he - are underachieving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon his players would know how to pass a ball 6 yards to a team mate. Less entertaining at times, maybe, but certainly more adept and cohesive.

Just feel with his managerial record he’ll know what it takes to go up, no doubt we have the squad, need a few more additions I.e strikers however if supported by the board he could be the man to take us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 LJ has never won anything as a manager. He has spent a lot and sold on quite a few at a profit but like many on here, I see little sign that he and his players can get promotion. There are good individuals but our teamwork is frequently poor. Our home form has been rubbish for nearly 2 years. We play possession football at AG but we are not good enough to do it at speed, so we usually look pedestrian and ponderous, while the opposition just need to remain organised. Our forward play is to static and with the exception of Eliasson and Hunt rarely stretches the defence going forward. And defensively in midfield we have also been poor, with far too many goals conceded this season to be serious challenges. Can LJ fix all of that? I have my doubts. He doesn’t even seem to know his best formation or players for that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going for premier league jobs and quite rightly Money talks. We pay Premier League wages to the attract Premier League players, why not do the same for a top-end Championship/lower-end Premier League manager? SL did it for the rugby club with Pat Lam, I’d be surprised if the thought of doing it he same with us hadn’t crossed his mind - if he harbours genuine intent to get to the top flight. I also think in terms of facilities, crowds, boardroom stability that we’re a similar project to Brighton a few years ago and ultimately if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

But I’d suggest spending any funds available on a manager is a bigger priority than spending it on transfer fees or players’ wages. What it boils down to is intent. If it’s to get to the Premier League, getting a proven manager should be an important part of the business plan. If the intent is to develop players to sell on and stagnate, then it’s acceptable to pootle along as we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to sell anyone this summer and if we don't act stupid this January by spending £20m say, but staying down then we don't need to sell anyone in the summer either if we stay down.

I'd rather the best manager coach an 8/10 squad, rather than a 5/10 manager coach a 10/10 squad. You get the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
