Meh Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I presumed (maybe incorrectly) we might hear something in robins tv pre game on Wednesday. Got to better than “higher or lower than 45”? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHienz Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 What are people expecting? A 6 hour live stream done in the format of this is your life, followed by a live Q+A with past players and ending in a musical number? Brief statement made, nothing else needed.

Robin101 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 But it is a bit odd that almost every player gets an article about their time here (see Bailey Wright for instance), whereas the man who managed us for 4.5 years doesn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I’d quite like to know from the club what their plans are for the new head coach, and also have some people share accountability for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he wont yet! In fact its a racing certainty that JL will say something. There will likely be a Short wrangle about contracts and gardening leave first.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 2 hours ago, fatchers said: Was'nt SL quoted at the start of the season that he expected a top 6 finish at least ? If so then the defeat and the manner of it was the last straw. I have reason to believe top 6 was certainly the goal. No top 6, massive pressure on LJ If we'd gone down fighting at all times, had tangible and genuine reasons for belief that LJ would have improved next season, took the playoff race deep into the season then it may have been different. As it is, the strong belief in the top 6 aim that I believe was internal at the club, combined with the capitulation since the restart. No reason to keep.

Abingdon Red Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I am genuinely surprised by the lack of recognition from the players.

I was pretty sure the same was true with SC, where the messages started coming out a few days later. I may be wrong on that, just vague memory of it being so.
