CyderInACan Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Why no gaffer or either Macca or Holden? Or Ashton Sticking a bloke up who’s hardly played for us over the last two years is bullschiesse (sp?) of the highest order, surely? Has this happened before? Hiding from the scrutiny of the media is usually Marvin Rees’ forté but this stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Coaching staff too busy searching for our lost identity to be bothered to share anything with the fans.

No disrespect, but what a silly thing to stay. Quite natural for Zak to be the featured player this week, after his performance during the week. Why can’t you just see that as a positive for Zak, rather than having to make yet another snide comment about the manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s pretty poor by the club not to have someone from the management team front up. if I was Johnson I’d make sure I did every press conference . Not hide away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good move from LJ to put Zak up as the pre match player who came across really well. Good for Zak in terms of becoming an important part of the first team squad having been out on various loans. Certainly help him to feel more ‘at home’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems a good lad and I hope he ends up having a great career with us. It is more that LJ has talked up the academy for a long time but we rarely see any sign of them playing lately. We've heard SL come out before and say how he would love to see a team built on local talent. I may be too cynical here but it wouldn't surprise me if this was partly done to make a point. I don't see that reflects on Zak who is just doing his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is brilliant that Zak was the player put up to do the pre match presser, however, the question still lies, where were any of the management team alongside him? As a young player, who is still learning his trade, you would have thought they would have had someone next to him to answer any of the more technical questions.

When the going gets tough, Johnson or one of the coaching staff should front up and answer the difficult questions. As you say, nothing wrong with Vyner getting some exposure and it’s great for him, but I want to hear LJ etc talking about, for example, what we’re doing to reverse this dreadful run. They are conspicuous by their absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 None of the coaches in attendance for this key game is not good form IMHO. I thought they had a contractual obligation to do one but maybe that's just the Prem. OTIB should be represented by Piers Morgan who would ask the questions we would all like answers to!!! if Johnson had shown up this one would have been interesting: "So Lee, whilst your play-off chances are hanging by a thread you must be wondering what your end of season review with the Chairman is going to be like. It's highly like you could fall short of a points & place improvement against his pre-season statement the play-offs was a minimum performance expectation".

mozo Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 To be fair, it was the most obvious example of a coward shirking the the press I could think of. But it is annoying when these threads go off on a political tangent. I tell you though approval ratings not good for Johnson at the moment. I meant Lee Johnson!!!
