Mrdc Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well its 2120 on Tuesday night and it looks as if we are heading towards another defeat, defence is a stambles, midfield is all over the place. I really cannot see where our next win is going to come from. After tonight it will be 1 win in 9 games, so if we carry on like this we will have 5 or 6 wins by May and end up with about 40 points, which will mean certain relegation. Can anybody see Millen being able to turn us around? Sadly I cannot and the longer he remains in charge, I can just see things getting worse and worse. When Millen was apointed I thought it was the best thing to do but now with hindsite, it looks as if it could be a huge mistake that could take us back years. This is not meant to be a Millen out thread, I want to give the bloke time but I just dont know how much longer we can give him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should never have been given the damn job in the first place. We will go down with him in charge.....I have no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Risk Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 no he cannot turn us into a better team.....but still think we may have enough to stay up particulary if maynard is back 2nd half of season.....if we go down coupled with continuing stadium disappointment i really fear for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to tonight's game I have been thinking how much better we sound - that combined with the difference between Watford and Coventry games I feel he is already turning it around. Results seem to be more of an issue than the problems of only 4 weeks ago when performance and results were very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 should have gone with johnson , never should have got the job tbh we went for a policy of getting a big name boss it didnt work out so changed policy and gave it to cheap option nice guy milly who the players can manipulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 no i dont think so, the only tactic i see is to put as many strikers as you can on to the pitch to see if we can nick an equaliser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results seem to be more of an issue than the problems of only 4 weeks ago when performance and results were very poor. In my opinion losing to the 2nd from bottom team 3-1 isn't turning it around, 6pts from 9 games as we all know is relegation form, we've been crap from day one and are still conceding 3 goals most games! I fear the worst for the Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 The only think I can say at this moment is I bloody hope so, can't see sl paying up his contract, especially after just getting wiggles in.

Guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Please can we have Matin O Neil a proper manager You really think he'd come here? According to most of the people on this thread we are going to be in L1 by November.. so why would he join us? By the sounds of it we put in a superb performance tonight and were very unlucky. Anyone remember that game at home to Bradford, the end of the 9 game losing spree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results seem to be more of an issue than the problems of only 4 weeks ago when performance and results were very poor. I wish I could share your optimism. The facts stand, we dont score enough, we are conceding on average 2 or 3 a game.....and we have a manager who has about as much charisma as a leaf. We are NOT improving.....and we WONT improve with this man in charge. If he cares for this club like he says he does, he will stand down asap. It was him who said, only in March, that he wasnt ready for this job.......and wow, is he proving it. Go get Pardew or O'Driscoll, someone who has experience and enough knowledge to at least give us half a chance this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Established players like Skuse, Elliott, and McCallister need a wake up call. You are supposed to be in the driving seat not letting Albert do it all by himself! Don't blame Millen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Jim Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 We need sorting out and quickly. Millen is not the man to do this. We need a leader, a man who knows how to manage at this level... We've got no leadership on or off the pitch and we're a rudderless ship heading straight for League 1. Bring in someone from outside the club - Alan Pardew, Phil Brown (even though I don't like the bloke)... someone who's managed at this level and someone who'd want to take on this challenge. It needs to happen now or we'll become cut adrift. Relegation would spell disaster for this club - Steve L will know this. I seriously fear for us - I'm not someone who enjoys bringing managers down, but I honestly believe that there's only one direction Millen is taking us - and that is League 1.

avidcity Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 He needs to go. Never should have been given the job but when he I was fully behind him.

Anyone remember that game at home to Bradford, the end of the 9 game losing spree? How you can call it unlucky is beyond me. We lost 3-1 to a side who were in the relegation zone, stats show (apart from 50/50 possession) they had more attempts (and goals!!) than us. No improvement, more steps backwards. Act soon Steve and replace Keith, thank you but your time is up. This is a tough tough cut throat league, WE DO NOT HAVE TIME to bed in Keith. It will be too late soon.

Matty-H Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 It's Tinnion all over again. He should never have been given the job, although I fully accept the reasons why he was. It's the three year contract I can't get my head around. As someone pointed out only a few months back he said he wasn't ready for the job. He was right. I'd be more pessimistic if it weren't for the undoubted strength and ability of our squad. We wont go down, but it'll be close. We will stay up in spite of Millen, not because of him.

Dorset_Cider Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 11 out of ten for tonights performance but when are we going to put that run of games together? At this rate we will get relegated and I do not need to remind anyone on this forum how long and difficult it was to get to where we are today. As for Keith I'm not convinced and let's face it...... he has been there all along......... I can only see us going down on the form we have shown so far Even this early if he/the team can't get it together..... they are only making it harder to survive.......... but I hope at worst we end up mid table come the end.

Kingswood Robin Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 No he can't turn it round. We need an impact manager from outside now or we'll go down, plain and simple. I thought it would be curtains for Millen after the Norwich game and I'll stick with that. You have to be canny to manage at this level and unfortunately he isn't, yet. You take a hell of a risk employing a first time manager at championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
112 Days Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Unfortunately, he is not the man to turn us around. We actually have enough good players at the club, especially going forward, to expect us to be comfortable in this league. Adomah is going to be a superstar (cheers pete johnson!) However, the problem is that millen is tactically nervous. He panics when we need to get back into games, and throwing 4/5 men up front is not the answer. Taking elliot off for pitman was a terrible decision, ruined the shape, nullified rose and meant jmc (awful again) played wide left. Playing 4-2-4 is schoolboy stuff, and experienced professionals like utaka, brown and lawrence murder us. Very worrying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
