He waffled and sounded like a pub manager. He looked ready to burst into tears, too. Unacceptable , outclassed, he says this a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no actual insight into how to improve, what we need to do and how to implement it. Everyone who read the team sheet at 2pm could see that the midfield was wrong, Lansbury holding was wrong, and Moore at LCB with Towler at LWB was going to be exposed. Surely one of the 3 coaches could see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I thought his bottom lip was going to go at points. He won't, but he needs to just step down. Not just for us, but for him. Could have a real lasting affect on him long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Robin Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just now, daored said: We have injuries no doubting that , but we could have acted for LB or LWB cover, and defensively we’re short. However , we had Nagy , Palmer, Bakinson & Marippa on the bench today, we have options but seem unable to find a work around (I haven’t included Wells as clearly doesn’t want to be here) I think we are well past which players should be playing here and which should be playing there....it doesn't matter and makes no difference. Nothing will improve until we get a quality manager in to sort out this embarrassing mess of a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen humphries Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 That’s a hard watch, feel sorry for the bloke, he’s having to think about every question he answers really hard , saying we’re going to work hard doesn’t cut it at this level, pub team managers tell their teams to work hard.

WirralRobin Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: Saying something but then saying I am not using that as an excuse! To be fair the injuries are ridiculous. Towler being 6th choice left wing back for example. But even with the terrible amount of injuries I expect a team to have some kind of cohesion. On and off the ball clueless. Genuine question - can we expect the team to have any sort of cohesion when the coaching staff have had so little time on the training ground in between games to work with the squad, players returning from injury and of course the academy players integrating into the first team part way through a season? I just really feel for him. The ridiculous injury count plus the uniqueness of the season in terms of frequency of games has made his position next to impossible imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm sorry as I like Dean as a person, and it is not really him who is culpable ................but quite honestly, if he has any cojones, he should resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Players let Holden down today. Very disappointed with Kalas & Lansbury. They are supposed to lead by example and steer things up when things get difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will improve until we get a quality manager in to sort out this embarrassing mess of a team. I agree , but we can’t keep hearing injuries as an argument. The only position we’re genuinely short at is LB / LWB. We currently have no structure , style or identity but people use injuries as an excuse.

Red Exile Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Dean Holden was a more or less unknown member of LJs coaching team. No track record with City fans at all...compared to Jamie Mac. Personally, having been given the boot myself in the past, I'm sympathetic to anyone in this position. But I barely know Holden.

An uninspiring character. I find it hard to imagine him communicating tactical insight to the players or motivating them at all. Way out of his depth and needs to be cut loose as soon as possible.

bristolcitysweden Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 It's impossible for any manager to win a game with a team performance like that.

Robin Wood Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Holden took the job he knew the risks that went with the job sadly for him the football has been bloody awful all season,gradually got worse than Lee johnsons we've been lucky in more games than I can list time to go Dean good luck wherever you go but Steve Lansdown and car crashton you reap what you sow and if Jon Lansdowns dad wasn't running the club he would probably be working in a shop or asda no disrespect meant to people who work at asda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does every other team!! They have little time, they have injuries, maybe not trying play as many inadequate youngsters as us - but whose fault is that?? All the other teams have little time to coach between games, just like us. Difference is, what little coaching other teams do is done by people who know what they're doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
