The Coach Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just in case I am correct and we are relegated. I'd like Lansdown to make a Q&A to the fans, including an apology for this mess. I'd personally like to speak to him and share my thoughts with him, which of course he would not like. Sorry if I upset any fans here with my following comments. Even though I'm grateful for SL for all he has done for the club. The investment, upgrading the stadium, training facilities etc. What matters is the results on the pitch and the progress of the club as a whole. Which have not progressed under SL. What I'm getting at is I think Lansdown should really consider selling the club to a potential new buyer who would also have the clubs interest in his head, rather than his heart.

Fuber Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 This side is good enough to at least have a couple shots at goal. LJ has lost the trust of the players capable I.e. Pack, Tomlin, Paterson. The latter two have by far enough experience, not even mentioning how this same defence did fine towards the latter end of last season. And the less said about poor Gustav the better. He was great against Hull and Fleetwood and I never really saw hide nor tail of him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Everything comes to those who wait, many said no he has not got it in him, including me. Watched him play he had no bottle, waited a year as he showed no bottle, surrogate father stands by him. So we all waited, let down by Johnson, the players he lost and mentor SL. problem is none of us will want to lose our seat next season so it will go on in lge1, we pay and watch the investment fail. we have seen the ferocious protests at other grounds where the paying fans have been short changed - will there be a rebellion at the gate?......................

ashton_fan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think our only chance now is if Tammy comes back asap. We've definitely not had the same goal threat since he's been out and it's even worse without Djuric either. He must be itching to get back after a break and could be back to his early season form when he returns, hopefully starting on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games against the top teams I see them as bonus games. The point at Newcastle for example. The second we don't beat those around us then time for a change imo. I agree to an extent about "bonus points' against the top teams. The problem is when you don't pick up points in the sec games it has an impact on confidence. Whilst in isolation Saturday was a positive result and a good point. We've once again thrown away a lead, when you add that to recently Cardiff, Reading (to an extent), Derby and then Newcastle it doesn't help with confidence. For me it's bad coaching / game management, to lose leads in the final 10/20 minutes of a game raises questions about the players and the management / coaching. We've got Burton, Wigan and Blackburn to play. We have to get 9 points out of those games, I would be surprised if we get any more than four. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I just can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippintogg Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 SL would not stand by a fund manager at Hargreaves Lansdown if they had the kind of record as LJ. As a friend of mine recently said he would have asked him to clear his desk and given him a cardboard box to take his stuff. Shows the way he thinks about the club. Just needs to take the blinkers off and make the right decision. Although I think its too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonG666 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I always used to agree with the statement "no individual is bigger than the club", but I'm starting to disagree with that as LJ is certainly giving it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more to put right than sacking a failed manager, although that would be a start. But it still leaves a failed 'Project' of a failed owner. I think I shall now retire to bed and look forward to starting my working day with reading abusive texts - that should get me fired up for work, I need something to ! Nothing abusive from me.

Flagon Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's getting worryingly close to being out of our hands. Despite the poor run we've usually competed pretty well and looked like we could get something from games, but we are now starting to really not perform with it now aswell. We look weak, we don't anticipate where the ball is going, we are not picking the best options when attacking. A little unlucky hitting bar twice tonight, possible penalty too but we didn't really do enough overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
