JoeAman08 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 1 minute ago, GTFABM said: I mean the football isn’t great (understatement of the decade). But how do you honestly expect to get a top tier manager in that everyone wants if you send out the message that sacking LJ would right now? He has improved final standings season on season, overseen a period which has seen us bring in tens of millions in player sales, has us out of the play offs on goal difference as it stands. The expectation on the new manager would have to be promotion or the sack? Or would you take a lower league position but pleasing on the eye football? I’d be understanding if we had to break it down a bit to build it back up. Meaning I’d get rid now so someone new could assess the squad for 15 games or so and mould it in the summer with the same backing LJ has received. Playoffs would be preferable next season but depending on results and performances(because I like to balance them) he would get another year. For me this is risky but imo just as risky as sticking with LJ. I get most won’t think this way but I’d prefer to be bold. And it doesn’t have to be a big name just someone hungry and has an identity. I have no names but imagine Norwich and Huddersfield weren’t convinced with the hirings of Farke and Wagner.

The league's shows how poor they are yet we struggle to put 2 passes together. They definitely didn’t run rings around us at any point if that game.

miketh2nd Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 If we won 3 nil and played well some would still moan that we didn't score more for our goal difference ... how dare the team win and make other potential players want to join a team in a play off chasing team... regardless of who is in charge...

We did, however, create the clearest chances and should have had at least three which would have made the scoreline very respectable. I thought the game was entertaining and we got three points at the end of it, so can’t see much to complain about. Three wins out of four, all clean sheets. Keep your fingers crossed though, I’d hate you to be disappointed by us being successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that, we performed the same way today as the Brentford game, shows the vast difference in this division. Well happy with a 1-0 home win will definitely take that but polyfilla is definitely not the answer on this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I don't think we were dreadful in that game, just not particularly good at times. Barnsley looked neat, and tidy; and should have taken at least one of their good chances. That said not many saves for either keeper in the game. Great save to push Williams header onto the crossbar in the 1st half though, after we had already hit the post througb one if tbeir players. Yes, we rode our luck at times; but then so did they. Two teams who looked far from clinical in their respective finishing. Reminded me of the home game against Hull last year (93rd min Fammy winner) after countless misses for both teams. You could see the First team to score would won the game. 3 wins in 4 (yes I know against the bottom 3, but you still have to win them), and all clean sheets. 10 days break, followed by a winnable game at Reading. It's a funny old season; even Wed got hammered at home to Blackburn. Most teams are much of a muchness. Hopefully a couple of signings, and Afobe back in March; and we might sneak in there with Kalas back to his best as well. I'm not a LJ supporter, but hard to make the argument for change at the moment, whilst still being able to grind out results (in the league of course.)
