Loderingo Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 You have to feel for the guy. His job is potentially on the line, we get a penalty and our 6 million striker misses. Then our defence falls asleep and concedes to 10 men. Truly gutting I realise Millen has his critics. The next Alex Ferguson he is not but he has been a loyal servant to the club for many years and he deserves better than some of the abuse he gets on here People sometimes said Johnson was a lucky manager - well I think Millen is an unlucky manager. Last 2 games we've played well and got nothing. I still feel that we are not far from being a decent team but at the moment it is a case of close but no cigar.

bangers Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 The problem is he has no managerial experience. We are side trying to get promoted.... look at ALL the other teams in the same boat, none of them have a manager with as little experience as millen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 We need a leader to lead,not a clueless manager. Points wins games. Points help you climb the league Mullen is not doing that. The buck stops at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelliottBcfc21 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 To be honest, ive always said, nice bloke, but nothing more! Conference manager at very best (maybe) but blame the club... He was the cheap option and they offer him a 5 year deal or whatever it was, if they sack him they gotta pay off his contract, which hes only seen out 1 year of.

Buy that I mean he will have 6 months left in Jan. Maynard is now worth £3m max unless he signs a contract which he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsobigfatdave Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Dont feel sorry for Keith....Hes got a good enough squad and if he had any tactical nounce we would have won the game today. Hes got a good contract and will get a good severence deal. I think we will have a caretaker manager by this time next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Ciderhead Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I agree he doesnt deserve to be abused, and I wouldnt act like that towards somebody thats been at the club for so many years.... But I still want him out. Not up for the job, thats clear now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset Red Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I don't feel sorry for him at all. I think he's done very well to stay on the payroll as long as he has. Time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think it's his decision making which angers people most. In fairness it's a pretty big first managerial gig, but clearly he's not up to it and it's time for the board to acknowledge a mistake and act. He's a likable guy, but that doesn't get results.

REDOXO Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I"m sitting here bewildered... Yes Maynard Missed a Penalty...and I dont agree he should not have been on pens just because he missed at leicester.. Yes We Played well But Yes We conceeded from another deadball........................WTF Yes KM took off our best player AGAIN...What were they thinking. We play 451 away ok I think thats a good idea...But then we some how feel that changing everything taking off your prompter and going 442 is a good idea...I listened from my living room in Chicago and even I could tell Skuse was not playing well, but there was no reason to change anything>>> Yes he will say we thought we could win it, but we could win it by keeping our same shape not reverting to a system that KM does not want to play away....

But who chooses the penalty taker (in today's circumstances I would have given it to Kilkenny, but then I would not have taken him off so what do I know)? And who coaches the defenders who cannot defend set pieces but tells us how happy he is with them? Johnson would not have got any leeway so I'm not sure why Keith should so much slack. At any club the manager always carries the can in the end I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcliffe 78 Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 A big miss by Maynard, Millen is getting some bad luck last two games but check our stats last twenty games, that is not all bad luck. Next two games four points is essential if not, i think he will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Most sensible thread in a long time, well said. Ryan, I'm not chasing you round the forum I promise, but what do you see in millen that makes you think we can improve? My own point of view is that he has cost us the game with his sub whilst we were on top, people will say it was maynards pen that changed the game but they should have scored a 2nd at 1-0 so it's swings and roundabouts.

Riaz Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 There is a part of me that feels sorry for him. At the end of the day, he could lose his livelihood - his biggest mistake was merely accepting the managers job - no one knew if he would be cut out for it or not. Sadly he isnt - and he must go because we need to stay in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 As Gary Player said...the more i practice, the luckier i get. We played well today, and it was individual player errors that cost us the win. However... Taking Kilkenny off was a poor move by Milley. Our flow and posession all dried up. That was the managers fault. I also don't rate his shadow Wiggley who seems to go hiding, and they seem to take forever to make tactical decisions. I don't agree with the abuse Milley gets. It should be aimed at SL and the board who appointed him. I get the impression Milley will become a good manager, but i just don't think it will be with City. We need some fresh ideas and someone to fire up our players. Yes...we have been unlucky, but you make your own luck. I feel for KM, but i do think it's time for a change and someone with some greater experience is needed. However...that is easier said than done. It's easy for people to want to get rid of Km, but no one mentions anyone decent to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Listening on the radio it sounded like he was speaking with wigs for 10 mins after the penalty discussing a way forward! That aint good enough. Especially as the wrong decision was made in who to take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
