Alan Dicks Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 8 out of 9 defeats, Reading looking like 9. With the January transfer window about to open it would be a great time for a new manager to hit the ground running. Quite frankly i wouldn't trust Johnson in the January transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 87 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I think Monday's game is key, another defeat at home and a bad reaction from the crowd could push SL a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Nope it's his season. Same message from me. The guy won't get a break so I won't have a rebuttal for everyone. He chops and changes is what some will say tonight. If we'd have lost with 4-5-1 it would've been because we didn't play 2 up top. We beat Ipswich with two up top last time so he tried it again. Didn't work. He's still finding his feet as a championship manager. Im sure January will see some fresh faces to see us to safety. Didn't hurt us recruiting well last season in January even if loans. Fully expect us to be safe by about 12-15 points again. I get the frustration but I'm still for LJ seeing this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonGreat Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Out. On a separate note, I wonder if Lansdown will drop ticket prices for the Reading game based on the abysmal results of late. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't think he will be sacked you know. There isn't a plethora of managerial talent out there who would readily come to us either - a few candidates, but I can't see them wanting to come here in all honesty. Plus whoever did come in would have to be able to work with Mark "Charisma" Ashton, which in itself requires several badges and licenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a decent amount of attraction to be a manager here imo. We are just never willing to pay for those managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I've always been behind Johnson but secretly had my doubts. I told myself after the Huddersfield defeat that I'd give a verdict at the end of the year after we had played some of the divisions poorest teams. And unfortunately, without a single point against these teams, my faith in him and most of our squad has disappeared now. We could sack Johnson, but more than anything we need a serious injection of quality. Fulham aside, we havent played a decent 90 minutes all season. Our midfield is weak and regularly dominated... Defensively we are error prone, and upfront we have a crocked youngster, a fading veteran and a loanee. Pack, Reid, Freeman, Paterson, Flint, Fielding, Brownhill, O Dowda... Johnson built the team and has been responsible for poor tactics and management but (and I hate to say it) this calibre of player is simply not going to get us anywhere bar another 18th place finish at best. I am most disappointed in our fans though. Too many self entitled people who love the sound of their own voice and that have waited patiently for our form to dip so they can bleat their "expert" opinion and tell us how they were right all along. People like that have got the team they deserve quite frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Domingo Roldan Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Recent extended contract & a horde of myopic happy clappers still adamant that he should be given the forthcoming window. Don't bet on him going even if he maintains this appalling run. In reality, a well run club would have him out in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Wilde Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Can't see him going anywhere, they will give him a window after selling Kodjia so late last window, despite buying a striker for 2.5 million who never plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I was pro cotterill until the away game at Reading last season His stubbornness to make changes until 80 mins did it for me LJ did try and adapt to 3-5-2 and it nearly paid off the injury to Magnus may have been the unlucky turning point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit late to experiment now, as another couple of defeats will bring real pressure and confidence is rapidly declining. His chance to find a 'fix' was missed.
