Red Robin Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Link to Evil post http://www.thisissom...il/article.html Louis as captain has a duty to back his manager and his chairman,obviously the news that the fans not a minority but a big majority are very concerned with the on field performances, The chairman previously said he was after promotion to the Premier League. The steve coppell appointment showed that commitment,the Keith Millen appointment has not. We all wanted Keith Millen do show he can manage Bristol City,he has had plenty of time to show his cards,yes his signings have been good,but the football,the motivation,the standard is the lowest for many many years. Louis I'm sure has the club at heart,but the reality is this club is going in the wrong direction under the current manager, The chairman has the ultimate responsibility and presently he seems steadfast in backing his current manager. Right or wrong if this club goes down,it was be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 its a rehash of the leeds programme, Anyway as paying fans we have a right to question whats going on and lack of passion on the pitch, Carey should be worried about his own game before commenting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Do you know what Louis?, You are right, so if it is not the the management team it must be the overpaid pussies who actually turn in these abject performances that are to blame and cannot convert the coaching and tactics of the management team into results the question is Louis what are you and the rest of the squad going to do about it?.

Its amazing how its general consensus that a manager needs at least 2 seasons (2 Years) to make his mark on a team yet in these forums its 6 months go figure who's wrong? and in the main the Millen ultras are also the most aggressive and offensive in their replies. We have a squad far stronger than most in our league and Millen has had a budget the envy of many other managers in this league as well and he has been involved in the day to day running of the club for over 6 years, so why would he need 2 years?, RR and one or two others never afforded GJ that amount of time, he came in as a 'new broom' and obviously trusted Millen enough to keep him on. The coaching for 2 years now has been poor or the players have been poor in transmitting the coaching into performances. Norwich, Leeds, Millwall and Watford are just 4 clubs with far worse squads than ours and yet are doing much better, so why is this happening?.

Davros, You dont need to be a captain or chairman to see what is happenning on the pitch. Millen makes me depressed everytime i see the team before kickoff, not just with selections but his formations. When things are not working out any other manager will try different tactics, but not Millen, He has to wait till the games lost before he changes things. Give more respect to others peoples opinions, we may not play that standard of football, but we do understand the game. The only tactics Millen sees is what comes out of a plastic container!

eskay Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Davros, He has to wait till the games lost before he changes things. Spot on. That is my major criticism of Millen, we could go 2-0 down within 10 mins and he may not make changes until 80+ mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason many fans are concerned is the last time we had a one season wonder in the championship it took a very long time to return. many fans do not want to be watching the like of yeovil,exeter etc in the near future. Do you really think SL will invest in a thirty odd thousand stadium with crowds of 10000 to 12000 people sat in it. My guess is he would not, Millen has a squad of players as good as any in this division,the problem being they are not playing to their strengths,or with strong leadership and direction from the management. I have no axe to grind with millen, I was surprised he got the job when coppell walked,even more surprised that SL gave it to him.However we as fans were happy to see what he could do. My take is after watching his teams i am not impressed at all with his selections,tactics,substitutions etc. I have purchased three STS for the last twelve years,Do i renew this year,I am finding the football experience at AG under millen boring,Do i want to watch his teams play no.I have spoke with many STs who are thinking long and hard about renewing their seats under the current management set up. Still it would be a dull world if we all thought the same,you obviously think millen can turn it around, myself sadly i do not think he will.even if he keeps us up i really do not think he is the man to take the club forward,he should have gone when GJ went,the club needed a fresh set of ideas coaching wise.

Riaz Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Your one as well. Its amazing how its general consensus that a manager needs at least 2 seasons (2 Years) to make his mark on a team yet in these forums its 6 months go figure who's wrong? Results wise - Millen is okay, doing the bare minimum. But tactically he just seems clueless - the players he has brought in have been very good (credit to him for that) but I think we'll be relegation candidates next season if we keep him on - thats why I want him to go at the end of the season. A manager does deserve 2 years to build a team - but at what expense? our championship status? no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my major criticism of Millen, we could go 2-0 down within 10 mins and he may not make changes until 80+ mins. Thats what i liked about jose mourinho for example, if he seen something wasn't working he would be making changes after 10 mins not 80 mins. Like you said with millen, he changes things when the game is lost and no time to do anything about it, rediculous imo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Wembley for his 'wally with the brolly' act and we went down 2 goals very early on and he did not make any changes until about 15 mins into the second half - too late.

It's not the general consensus that it takes a manager at least 2 seasons to make his mark. It's taken Dalglish about a month to do that at Liverpool, it's taken Sven 3-4 months at Leicester and it took Gary Johnson about 6 months at City.

To be fair to Millen these 3 are all experienced managers who you would expect to make an impact quickly. Millen is in his first full time managerial role, the first time he is totally responsible for what happens and he is having to learn quickly and under demanding, difficult circumstances and is as likely to fail as he is to succeed at the moment. To compare his start to these 3 managers is unfair, both in terms of the situation and the difference in experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NATCHER Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Millen was manager of the month in November, didnt mean he had cracked it, Freeman's start doesnt mean that Palace wont get relegated. I agree. You just said that the three managers quoted were all experienced and implied Millen was a novice. I simply threw in Freeman to say that even a novice manager can have an impact. If that improvement can be maintained, we shall see. Plus Millens Manager Of The Month award counts for nothing now, a little less as it did then, what counts is where we are in May and I for one am not looking forward to Spring. Good luck everybody.
