He has done well but it happens to 99% of coaches/managers. They end badly. There is no happily ever after with LJ. Pochettino sacked, Wenger didn’t leave on great terms, Mourinho not liked too much at Chelsea anymore, Barca just sacked their manager, West Brom sacked a guy in 4th place. It is ok for him to go. Be bold SL and Bristol City this chapter needs to be finished. When it happens I will wish him well but for now I can’t stand the sight of him pr hear his voice atm The big problem will arise when LJ leaves. Lansdown's record of recruiting managers/head coaches is hardly one of unbridled success. Even if we break this nepotistic chain, absolutely no guarantee that he will bring in what we really need. One with experience of promotions and one who knows how to get consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketh2nd Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 So do people want Johnson to say? We can't attract top strikers/afford insane wages to come here so we ended up getting afobe last minute but got unlucky. We tried lucky dip with Rodri but got no luck but it worked with Williams. I have my hands tied as we sell our best players to sustain being a midtable/sometimes play off chasing team that have no parachute funds? ( not saying LJ is the messiah by the way!!)

handballbygordonparr Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not surprisingly there are many opinions about what is wrong with our team at the moment. To add another, should Lee be looking for better or more experienced coaching staff rather than just more players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football isn' t just a one person job anymore . Coaches psychologists scouts people like scott muarry have a role to play too ... its so easy to lay the blame with one person like it is with your own job ... why is this different? I suppose on the flipside you could argue we hired johnson as a head coach so its easier to replace him then say teams like Man utd and Arsenal with fergy and wenger leaving ....

No Tv + Owers said we did ok. Problem is Dave and lack of forward quality overall. Tis the Cup and happens. A unicorn for saying that we lack forward quality overall? It is the truth and neither are clinical finishers. 9 for Andi and 7 for Fam and think of the wasted chances (good ones at that). Good pros and nice blokes but we need to add quality. That isn't the whole picture overall though as the defence needs a serious shake up coaching wise. Too many goals given away. To the league, a + 1 goal difference is not going to get a top 6 finish.

Red-Robbo Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 4 hours ago, Major Isewater said: His future hangs on this transfer window. If Famaral or Weimann puts away their chances last night the half and half scarf salesmen would be in dreamland this morning. It’s not all about finishing but with a good forward a number of defaults can be masked. We don’t have that luxury at the moment. Correctemundo. We might have a big squad, but we don't have a reasonable second choice striker if Fam is off his game. Who could we have sent on last night? Antoine "goal machine" Semenyo?? I'm really not convinced Johnson should be here much longer, but bringing in a new manager now means that by the time he's looked at the squad and seen what needs strengthening, the window will have closed. A striker that can occasionally score goals and a hard-man midfielder are required. Johnson knows he has to get them. If he fails, it's goodnight Vienna. Maybe even bring a new guy in for the fag-end of the season, so he appreciates the problems and can have a full summer to try to rectify them.

Would be better to pay the wages of a top coach than buy one or two players who aren’t up to it. I could , more likely, see Mark Robins take over in the summer .

You can instil a bit of spirit by getting the right set of players personality (which I think we’ve got on the whole) but that will only get you so far. How many teams have you heard of that lose every week but “have great team spirit”. That team was too good for league one so once we got off to a booming start of course the spirit was seen as really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could also be back in the top 6 with a win. Who else in the country would even be discussing the managers position in this scenario? I don't disagree - but if we don't (and unfortunately 8 of the last 9 performances, or something like that, suggests not beating 3rd from bottom at home is a very real possibility) then we could end up 12th. The 'one point off' is a little misleading also - GD means we are a win off 6th. There are also 4 other teams whose results we will need better or match or they will take the 6th spot. So whilst it's not a bad position to be in, it's a far cry from 1 win off 2nd where we were not too long ago. I'm sure managers positions would be discussed elsewhere if they had the money, players & facilities available to Lee if they continued to fall away at the rate we are doing. 3 wins out of 4 is good, but 2 from 8 is not the form that will get us back into the playoffs ahead of the rest of the chasing pack. I personally don't think sacking Lee will help, I'm not sure who I would like to takeover if we did and I don't want another re-building phase. My view is we need to have a very hard look at our coaching set up - we have two quite ordinary mid table assistant coaches and maybe we need a couple of specialists to work with the squad we have. I believe there is significant talent in our squad that isn't being exploited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a poor manager, who is massively underachieving and only remaining in a job because of nepotism. Massively under achieving by being 1 point adrift of where most people except our current level to be? Or if you want to set our standards higher than most expected pre season 5 adrift of 3rd And thats your idea of massively under achieving? We're on a bad run our worst of the season but its not forever! Want to know who is in worse form than us? Preston, Cardiff, Blackburn, Leeds. We are on our worst run of the season and we are mid table in the form table! The level of overreaction on her is insane! If after the the reading game when we were unbeaten in 9 games I'd started saying we were going to walk the league and no one can stop us you say I was an idiot just reacting to a current good run of form! And you'd be right! It's a bad run and its not even as bad as some of the teams around us and above us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
