Silvio Dante Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Cards on the table, I wasn't in Newcastle today. I also think that LJs time is pretty much up, although I regret that as I think there is a decent manager in there who is killing himself through over thinking. However, what strikes me again today is that with the mans back to the wall he plays Gary O'Neill - who many have said is one of the main dissenters against him. That's even before you acknowledge the brave/desperate risks of Zac and Korey for different reasons. So, either GON is not as against the manager as had been suggested (and tbf, his opinion having been there and done that would carry a lot of weight), or he is and despite that, LJ plays him in the biggest game of his managerial career Either the man genuinely has GON on side or he has huge cojones. Either way, like or hate him, I think he deserves some respect tonight for either aspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Says the opposite for Tomlin in many ways. Lee's words of "my" team did well today, in the post match conference says a lot, G O'N is on his side I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but percentage wise that shows he doesn't trust "His team"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It was very evident Pembo was on the touch line today and LJ was sat in the dugout I do browse the busy forum but I haven't heard much on here about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's way I took it as well. Hes the manager and selects the match squad so is entitled to call them "my team" The over analysis on here truly ridiculous at times.

Garland-sweden Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Think its a big gamling to bring in a new manager now. The way we took our point today shows that everybody works for the team. LJ is not Einstein but I think he and Pembo is capable to lead the team in safe land. We have huge games coming. Think we need points offcause but also calm. What have been has been we can not change it. But the only thing we know in this moment is now. LJ and the players have done lots of wrong but my opinion is that they learnt and they will do the same trick as yesterday in next game. Helheten in swedish dont know the english word. The whole thingClockrestaurangen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Everything has to click right. Like a good pass on the field. If we had lost 4-0 yesterday, LJ out has been shouted. But yesterday showed that he is still standing. What ever manager we have: Come on you reds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Villa, Wolves, QPR and Forest also wanted top six or top ten. Think Wolves is one of the teams we can have behind us. They sacked their manager and it dont turn well for them. LJ could have been gone a month ago, more than bad results. We were never outplayed, but still no points. A new manager a month ago, ok, but not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
