I’m not an advocate for switching managers/coaches mid-season but I can’t really fathom what DH, KD & PS will do. We have felt so League One all season. Forest & Weds are slowly picking up points after terrible starts, so too are Derby. Add Barnsley also doing well after changing coach. Therefore all managerial changes in our league have yielded a positive outcome so far. Yes, Weds have picked up so much that they got rid of Pulis!!!

Lrrr Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 LJ was sacked when top 6 wasn’t mathematically possible, despite our poor form we are 3 points off the play offs so not likely to be sacked on that front. For the doom mongers were 17 points ahead of relegation over double their points tally at present, I don’t believe we’d do a Hull as that was a result of their selling players in January.

Even if you think Holden is not a very good coach the other two have been there, done it. Our season has been decimated by injuries and the games we've lost recently (eg Luton, Rotherham) are ones we've historically always struggled with even when on a good run so let's just judge at the end of the season. I’d happily bet they’ll be above us by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless what the board have said, the aim this season was probably to tread water. A good time to do it with a few teams really struggling for various reasons. I have a feeling that we might move for someone like Eddie Howe eventually. Seems the right sort of type. You've got no chance... Lansdown employing someone who's actually qualified to push us forwards???.. History says an emphatic 'non'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be. Say we finish 20th, it’s not exactly the progress set out at the start of the season & will make us an even less desirable team to sign for. Also the losing mentality is hard to shift, last time in the Championship it ended in a similar fashion. Can see us messing around it crappy appointments until we relegated back to L1.

Finley_Smith10 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I’m clinging onto the fact that Holden is a Covid appointment and that when all this is over we’ll have a right pop at promotion and appoint someone aswell as spending some money. Injuries haven’t helped him but the standard of football is absolute crap and has been all season. You have to hold Ashton accountable for the appointment. His ‘vigorous’ interview process is coming back to bite him now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that too from time to time, and then I wonder what on earth made him take it in the first place ? Once he's sacked from this job he's going nowhere in the game. Another manager who's achieved nothing and would have been better off recognising his own limitations. Therefore loses my sympathy vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have enough in the bag already. Not guaranteed, but we might. I think that if Holden is given the push at some stage Simpson will take over and be given a chance to prove he can do it, he's been Head Coach before and it would fit with the Club's continuity policy rather than bringing in outsiders who are seen as greater risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 When he can actually select some players who haven’t been playing game after game (many of whom have knocks) and who aren’t kids then I’ll judge. We won’t go down this season and it’s not as if we want to go up surely. I want to see a promotion winning season in the flesh - not on the soulless robins tv with no fans at any games etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I’m Holden in until he has a decent squad to choose from, our bench is basically the U23 with Fam, Mariappa and Moore.

What I mean is a good time to let a season pass us by. We should survive fairly comfortably, but no big risky outlay for a genuine top 6 push. Allow some younger players game time and make a go of it when things are more normal and there's the big revenue from crowds coming in. Wouldn't necessarily be how I'd play it, but I'm not the one bankrolling the club so easy for me to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get hammered by Brentford do you actually think he would go ? When will Ashton realise his plan has not worked, I guess he will just appoint one of the qualified assistants next anyway and take us down to L1 I’d also think a defeat to Pompey in the FA Cup may well see a board meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime though I’m getting fed right up with the standard of football on offer. It’s not just Holden it’s been pretty poor for a while now. I sense a big defeat on the horizon if we carry on playing like we are at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
