Big Red Rich Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Sounds great, exactly the sort of dressing room you want to get you out of a mess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City37 Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Lee sounded down and out - timid dressing room, and admitted players not giving all. It must be difficult giving interviews after such a horrendous run but that was awful, surely SL and MA hearing that must do the right thing for the club and Lee.

Olé Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Someone just sack this clown all he does is talk openly about weaknesses in the dressing room - with coaches like him who needs opponents. These are all just clumsy covers for his own inability. They all look capable enough to me and have all been capable enough in prior teams - it's LJ tactics that suck the life or belief out of the team and give them zero ability to attack in any numbers. This is the great charade of Johnson - he keeps putting it down to the players but we are singularly defeated by our own total lack of attacking tactics or ability to take hold of the game. It's all on you LJ, shut up about the players, it's just embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I am sorry to have to say this but it is said that a team bears the traits of it's manager and timid is probably a very apt description of LJ as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 We have a player that's played in the champs league (Hegeler), 2x players who've been in promotion after promotion (GON and Alby), one of the best teenagers in the country (Tammy), and a player who won player of the year for a team who're now in the premiership (Tomlin). Doesn't sound like a timid bunch to me. Sounds like a bout of mismanagement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinapig Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I thought we checked out players' character before signing them. Was not being timid not on the check list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all on you LJ, shut up about the players, it's just embarrassing. Yes if ever a team was there to go and attack it was this Forest side. The club in total meltdown and on a run nearly as bad as ours. It was the day to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. What did we have to loose for f.... sake!! Instead we go with 3 center backs,two fullbacks and two defensive midfielders. Leaving Paterson as our playmaker. Two strikers that would get no support in and around the box. Even Baker on the radio (who will never say a bad word about the performance) was moaning that every header won was then cleared by a Forest head. This had to be the game for Johnson to go for it but he bottled it, and instead of going for it set the side up for us to hopefully pinch a goal and hang on. Shame that he chose to go out on a whimper rather than a bang!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint would certainly have something to say, Pack too I think could have his say intelligently and Magnusson is also a confident speaker not in his native language. im not sure if Johnson isn't mistaking 'timid' for 'switched off' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcityman Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 If the dressing room is timid then its LJs job to stir the team up, if he cant motivate his players he signed then why is he still here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So Johnson has bought a dressing room full of timid players. Did the interviewer hand him a mirror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 So what about Pemberton, he should be revving the players up and getting them mentally ready I won't have this timid shit, application, effort and teamwork is the bare minimum for any professional team and we are lacking in a couple of those areas at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that LJ, as a footballer since the 2000s hasn't ever had an experiance where he has had to dig deep and find strength required to truely get angry and form a plan from that anger - its always going to be iteration rather than revolution with some who doesn't actually need this job.

It is timid because the players must see him as a dead man walking. I sense that they dont want to be the one to drop the rickett that finally gets him sacked.

Agree Graham Been saying it for weeks I think his Post Match Reaction at Sheffield Weds when he absolutely slaughtered (The Popular) ROD , was the to start of losing the respect of the dressing room He hasn't learnt a thing since , - comes out in the last couple of weeks about how great the players are in attitude , no rifts blah blah blah (Clearly to paper over the very public stories telling a different story) and then comes out taking little swipes at players post match again today Clueless , in all respects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
