Robin Wood Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 These performances have been the norm for far to long,Lansdown must shoulder the blame for he stuck with Johnson for far to long we have a totally unbalanced squad and God knows what happens next, we could possibly be in a relegation dogfight next season and not many of that lot look up for a fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't as good as everyone thinks. Too many ordinary players Mmm... that's bad news then, most of don't even think we're any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not been great, but let’s not forget where we’ve been in recent times. With a top manager in there’s potential for premier league football in a few years, we wouldn’t have dreamed of being able to say that 6-7 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 3 minutes ago, ExiledAjax said: More frustrating is that we were actually getting the ball into the box, into positions where shots could, and should, be taken. I can't agree with Morrell in the post-match here. We worked the ball into position and then too often tried to lay it off or pass it wide, or tried the dinked cross to the far post. Every now and then you've just got to hit it. Test the keeper - Championship keepers have weaknesses, so test them. Exactly. Maybe being drilled by LJ hasn’t quite worn off yet. I’m not sure if performances like this will have potential managers rubbing their hands with anticipation or running for the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be heading off to camp in the beautiful Colorado mtns tomorrow. Would have missed the game anyway but at least I know there wouldn't have been anything riding on it. It's been a strange and disappointing season and I often wonder why I put myself through it, however we all know that I and the rest of you will be back next season to "go again" Maybe I'll come back next week to an exciting announcement of a new manager.........not holding my breath. Until then, farewell fellow reds. CTID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our new manager, when he arrives, will assess the squad and make up his own mind on how he wans us to play. We may well see a different game plan next season even with the same players. Just glad this terms over, almost. Hopefully not the same players. I fear same players same result. We don’t have a single striker that gives me any hope. The new guy will need massive financial support and skill in the market -or does Ashton do that independent of the manager? Next season will be one of transition,at least there will be little expectation to put pressure on the players or manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Not surprised by this end of season: wins against Hull and Boro were nice exceptions, but most of us knew that expecting a true change in the team's performances and results was unrealistic. Let's hope not to be battered in the next match and then...much, much work will be needed, starting with a reliable manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 To be fair, finishing 10th-12th and having that as a "so bad that you sack your manager" season, seems okay to me. Could have been a lot worse, and we're still in the best position we have ever been in when looking to appoint a new manager. Obviously I wish we got into the playoffs with LJ, but have to focus on the positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, like......, how, is that, ya know, like, possible.....? Because there was no midfield to protect, cover and support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to trim this squad down and focus on a "primary" formation where we have 2 players for each position, and don't have to change the formation much when players come on.

Fam doesnt score enough goals Smith is not the player he was Weimann is too erratic Ellisson too lightweight, will move to Europe somewhere O'Dowda too inconsistent *People have argued, not me though. Fam is the core of the team Smith is the skipper Weimann our most skillful player Ellisson our most creative player O'dowda, in the right position, in the right formation, with the right players alongside him is world class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 One moment on Palmer that stood out for me negatively, it was about 84 mins and Swansea were attacking with Eliasson (had been filling in at LB out of possession when he could) caught upfield, Palmer points at the guy on the ball for Kalas to go wide to him, Palmer basically stands still and Paterson runs past him to fill the gap Kalas had just vacated.

Northern Red Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 First defeat in 4 and we're getting relegated next season. Though some have had us going down every season for the past 4 years so I guess it's not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that the new manager/coach will have to access who is capable of retraining and if they are not then get rid and replace.

I really hope SL does not go down the young coach/ manager (one for the future) way again and brings in a good experienced manager, otherwise the club will struggle next season.

Garland-sweden Posted July 18, 2020 Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Think it will be good with a new manager. Think he can build a good team from our squad. This season has been dissapointing, we were fighting top six nine games left. We will see what next season brings. COYR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
