Up The City! Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Every team has a bad spell, hopefully we are going through ours now. We should have won today so I'm not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 No he has done a superb job since he has been here and our squad is most definitely better than what he started with. we are just being dragged down to our level this year which will be mid table. We have potential to end up in top 10 but if we finish anywhere between 10-15 then it will be steady progress. his real test will be over the next two windows as he has said he needed 3 to get the squad he wanted. no panic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else think likewise ? Given how he has performed from appointment until now you quite clearly had no intentions of changing your opinion on his appointment so I fail to understand 'sadly'.

Eddie Hitler Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 No worries, no panic, not questioning the manager or the team. If we hadn't sold Kodjia with no time to buy a replacement, though we couldn't say no at that price, we'd be higher. We're not going up, though scraping a play off place remains possible, but we're not going down either and that's the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're "seriously concerned" that we're 8 points from the bottom three, then presumably you must also be incredibly excited that we're only 3 points off the play offs?

Lots of posters think that a striker is a priority in the January and whilst that's obvious I reckon the defence needs strengthening as well. Another right back and CB are hopefully on LJs shopping list. LJ has said all along that he'll need three windows to mount a serious threat at the top of the SBC. He's got his first one coming up..

Lew-T Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 You can't blame him. We battered Birmingham all second half but just didn't take our chances, huffed and puffed but no real quality in the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position we are in now is a vast improvement on the position we were in 12 months ago... about this time last year we were getting spanked by Rovrum.

reddogkev Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Yes, normal-sized Lee does know what he's doing. We are in a tough league, looking to grow, and we will lose quite a few games along the way. It's clear that someone has a negative opinion of LJ when they refer to him as Little Lee, or that this thread is just a wind-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Anyone else think likewise ? Nailing that Mr Johnson is not so tall in the topic title is talent wasted. Should have a gig on at the Hippodrome where punters are charged £25 a hit to hear such wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 There's no disputing we're in a poor run of form and we clearly need to win soon to restore confidence. Unfortunately not sure it'll be next weekend. There are a number of positives from last season, firstly we've been in every game which we can't say from last season. I believe Tammy needs some support up top. This is his debut season as a professional and as well as he's played we're asking a lot of him. The one thing I would say about Johnson is, he appears to alter shape and personnel on a regular basis. Is he trying to be too clever? For me, we're where we should be based on squad and experience.

Another right back and CB are hopefully on LJs shopping list. LJ has said all along that he'll need three windows to mount a serious threat at the top of the SBC. He's got his first one coming up.. First point I totally agree, RB has to be sorted out quickly and I think they need to look at the defence as a whole, I have walked out of games thinking that individually they've played well but still managed to offer up chances regularly. As for the windows, didn't he say that last year/season ? He's had one active window, Jan is a difficult one every year and the third would be next summer. I'm hoping the newly appointed coach will give them scope to work on things and sure up a promising defence. There is a problem up front and relying on a young lad seems a bit silly right now, however good. Engvall may not be ready to start but a change can't be long in coming. It would be good to get someone in come Jan, I'm not optimistic though, the best way would be to play 2 up front and see how the Swedish lad does. Tomlin, and I'm a big fan , can be a problem when changing the formation, 2 up top leaves us needing to play him as a central No. 10 and then we'd have to play 33 midfielders. Alternative is to drop him (!) and play a 4-4-2 , drop our most creative player? It's all trade off's , that's why systems come and go, it's also why LJ is manager and not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 We are creating chances, we seem to be unable to convert them - I have no idea if there is such a thing as a composure and finishing coach, but if so I'd bring some in for 3 months and get our lads confident and able to increase our conversion rate. We should be scoring more with the number of chances we get..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 We have a mid table squad and it's likely we'll finish in mid table. I'd say he's doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
