Tom Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 He's trying to take the pressure off the players and put it on to himself. Good management skill. The players still know they're under pressure. It's just a soundbite in an unimportant interview. Admittedly he could have worded it a bit better.

Just didn't see the need for the thread to be honest. Whether LJ is capable or not I'll leave for debate but everything he says or does is with the clubs best interests at heart.

Not only will we make the play offs but we will also thrash Burnley in the 4th round, take out Leeds at home in the 5th, away to Spurs in the 6th with a win on penalties (one taken by Magners that's a total beauty) and we finally went out to Man U at home in the semis.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Imagine the meltdown if our manager said we were going down. Says we're not going down and there's still a meltdown.

KingLear Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 We needed to win a game of football, any game of football to remember what winning was like. Psychology is a funny thing, success breeds confidence and confidence is massive. Yes you can say it was 'only Fleetwood' but LJ coming out now and saying things like 'we can breathe again' and 'we won't go down' just adds to the positives and confidence which is what we need right now, Lord knows we've had enough of the negatives!

Apparently it seems I am blinkered and nitpicking. I never said it was "only" Fleetwood. My point is very simply that it was a cup game that does nothing to stave off the threat of relegation. To say we can breathe again is in my mind daft as it does not instil a mind-set of realising the shite we are in. The Cup is one thing but the league is something completely different.

Don't get me wrong one cup win isn't going to paper over the cracks of our league form and I agree with you on that, I just feel it would have been a massive monkey off everyone's backs, players and management included to get back to winning ways again and that it will hopefully inspire an upturn in form in what is obviously the more important league games.

I would say while its 'only the cup', its still a competitive game and does release the pressure valve by winning, hopefully installs some confidence into the players going into this game against a total basket case of a club.
