Ten men makes it tougher for sure but should not automatically mean a four goal deficit. See what your saying mate but therein lies the problem we are nowhere near it and havent seen any glimpses to suggest we are a top six side.

That should be agreed before you plan recruitment. They must have regular reviews so I wonder what, if any, questions are being asked of LJ. LJ is the man in charge not MA Sorry the blame is with LJ for the performances the clueless style of play Recruitment wise LJ has had more then he can moan about how much has he spent hes brought in all the squad apart from smith i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but the plan is to sign strikers when we have a terrible defensive record. Quite what style of play those strikers will fit into is anyone's guess as we don't seem to have one.

daored Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 8 minutes ago, Major Isewater said: LJ has had four years and multi millions to spend on our squad and yet we look no nearer having a style of play or a ‘ solid ‘ look about the team. I very much hope that Mr Lansdown is not satisfied with what he is seeing and will bring in a new coach at the end of the season. I don’t doubt LJ’s sincerity or effort but we need someone to take us to the next level. Disagree with your first part, he had us playing fast, pressing football a couple of years ago. We were fun to watch, we attack fast and hunted the ball in packs. Unfortunately, the more money he has spent he has taken us backwards, we’re boring, we have no identity and yes people will say we’ve finished higher each season under him, but in terms of style and substance we’ve gone backwards. The money he’s wasted, is inexcusable. If the rumours are true about Palmer leaving then Johnson & Ashton have serious questions to answer from the board. If I was SL I would simply say no more money , work with what you've got, you’ve brought in the majority of the players in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was utterly right to do so. @ChippenhamRed has, like many of us, changed his opinions because the facts have changed. But that does not change the fact you have spent four years being utterly premature in saying LJ has taken us as far as he can, only for you to be proven completely and conclusively wrong when he continued to improve us. Now it probably is time for him to go but they doesn’t mean you have been right all along by any stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentley has dropped a level since the birth of his kid , is that coincidence ? Elliason did nothing before being substituted. We look a mid table side . I feel you are being kind, describing us as a mid table side. Again we are in freefall with no sigh of improvement on the horizon. I dearly want LJ to succeed, but alas he just hasn't got it. I didn't know about Wilbs description of his motivational abilities, but it's there for all to see. We have been very poor and frustrating at home for a long time. A poor man's tinker man. I feared the worst when we lost adobe, I genuinely felt he may well be the final jigsaw piece, but I didn't expect another serious, inexplicable loss of form. Sorry, thanks LJ for the memories, it's time to move on. But SL won't budge and we all know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always has been He’s done pretty well to take us to where we are by being clueless, what does that make cotts? I call it 56 signings in 8 windows, with around 23 of them being loans or academy players. That’s still 36 players brought in, ok some of them have been moved on but it is too much I agree. He has been our most backed manager due to sales really, look at the players Cotts wanted to bring in. We don’t have the ability to become a top 6 side imo, he’s done an excellent job turning us from a relegation candidate to a top half team but we aren’t going to get any further under him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handballbygordonparr Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Whilst i really do sympathise with the LJ out brigade I'm afraid he will not be going anywhere in a hurry - it's just not the BCFC way. We will muddle on, find some excuses, splash a bit of cash and cling to evidence of slight year on year improvement. We will NOT take a risk on an expensive proven manager or even a player that isn't a perfect fit on the day. It's not in our DNA I'm afraid. The BCFC way is year on year of mediocrity with occasional glimpse of hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, the time taken to sack LJ, put the U23 manage in charge for a few weeks to allow for recruitment (assuming that as well as players Ashton has been looking at managers), new manager comes in with new systems, those take another 4 week to bed in, results don't go our way and then the new manager is instantly under relegation pressure. Our fixtures after the next 3 games are not very easy QPR (a), Brummie's, Derby then Leeds and WBA....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
