I don’t make excuses or blame my team if I have done a shit job (sales )...if they are carrying out what I want them to do and we are not getting results it it’s not because of the team or the business it’s because my direction is not good enough. I don’t accept excuses in my line of work maybe dean and his coaches need to look closer to home. if this is true and he called them out as ***** maybe he is not the nice bloke everyone thinks he is.

He never put any effort in He made more runs and in put in more effort than several players. He is so often wrongly scapegoated, because he doesn’t smile a lot. Problem is he makes a load of runs that go unnoticed, he runs proactively. Interesting that the couple of bright spots on Tuesday was early passes from Lansbury, picking up the early run. But too many posters don’t see this. Go back to “Offside Kodjia”....we delayed passes after he made great runs, then he gets caught offside. But wasn’t he different when Tomlin came on loan who set him free because he spotted his runs and passed early. Don't get me wrong, Wells has not been great, but when Fam just stands in the middle of the pitch, I’d be effed off being the one who has to run the sides all the time. It’s an unequal partnership as most people who play alongside Fam find out. Play Wells as the main-man, either on his own or with Semenyo or Bell to run the sides and then see if he’s any better / more effective / looks less lazy. He might still be disappointing, but at least give him that chance. He hasn’t been given it....it’s bizarre imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a manager you are responsible and accountable for the performance of your team, throwing them under the bus when things go tits up are not the traits of a strong leader. he wasn’t qualified, he was out of his depth I am afraid.

Firstly Deano didn’t have the time to find a different way. Football is a result business as we know. Secondly - when did throw any player under the bus? I never heard him say anything negative about any player - unlike other managers I can think of.

Leadership is an art it must be very hard managing multi millionaires, to ask someone who has only coached/manager at the lower leagues to raise the bar at a club with this expectation was always a tough ask. I respect Holden for taking the role on, anyone in his position would have, but he didn’t have the credentials for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirdly - I completely agree, he was out of his depth and should never have been appointed but hindsight is a wonderful thing, I think the big problem was Johnson actually left the club in a fair mess. Lots of players of a similar standard, too many that played in a similar position or role. Plus the worst of all , he left the first team with no playing style, identity . Holden had to come in and impose a style on them, which TBF he started to until injuries hit Paterson & Weimann. I think it would have been a big job for an experienced coach that had been around the block a few times, for a novice who had worked under the man responsible for the chaos, virtually impossible. I would say, although it sounds harsh, you are right he was out of his depth. But it's the coaches job to find a different way, I think the fact he had been around under the previous coach made it twice as hard. To be perfectly honest I'd rather see Gary Johnson come in until the end of the season, than to meander along under Simpson & Dowling for months. At least he's used to sorting out messes. I don't think we'll get a coach in very quickly, which could could see us carry on with this run of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cotterill brought me many moments of pleasure, but I recall wincing each time he would bring on LC for a late, 10 minutes or so sub appearance, inching ever closer to the great John Atyeo’s record. A total travesty in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
