CHIPLEY RED Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I wanted LJ to succeed but after a good start to his time as manager it looks like it's going to end badly. If that makes me a LJ supporter then I'm still here. There's not much you can say a after a 5-0 thrashing which is why I guess it's one way traffic with the Johnson out threads. One thing I would say though is if a change is made now it needs to be someone who is going to make an instant impact. Wilbraham has been much talked about on other threads but is someone with no management or coaching experience going to save us? And if it is the players who have decided not to play for LJ - is that acceptable or should we be equally on their case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I wouldn't say I'm a supporter as such, as don't mind either way what happens about LJ currently. More important for me is that we survive, be that with or without LJ at the helm. And considering it seems SL has made the decision he is, I'm not wasting time arguing whether that is right or wrong. Like I said it's all about survival and as bad as a 5-0 drubbing is, our situation at the end of the night wasn't much worse than at the beginning of it except for gd. Of course it could be argued that confidence will now have been hit but if it was another team we would be saying to be wary of the wounded animal. Who knows we may come out fighting against Wolves. We just have to take each game as it comes and roll with the punches. At the end of the season we will hopefully have survived and then we can think about whether he should stay or not imo.

MyBrotherErnie Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Johnson is just the lightning rod surely for all the fans pulling their hair out at this dismal run? Last time I looked he wasn't actually allowed on the pitch whereas the players are. They, almost to a man, had a terrible game last night (and were pretty much the same at Brentford) which is something they should take responsibility for if they really want to keep playing Championship football next season.

Dolman Pragmatist et al, where are you? I don't tend to get pissed off when people disagree with me over a choice of a football manager. I also try and avoid saying nanananana told you so, as it makes me sound like my five year old. with respect as a fellow city fan. ps Johnson out.

brady bunch Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I hoped LJ would work out (although no fan of his as player or coach), never want him out until witnessing the 1st half at Brentford, for sure it's mostly the players, but I have lost the faith now, PNE just confirmed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Pragmatist et al, where are you? I think its pretty obvious to be honest. The level of debate and posting (bar some notable exceptions) is such that anyone that dares to say anything other than agreeing to protest/email/make banners/decline to renew season tickets etc etc chooses not to post simply to avoid the inevitable abuse. To me this makes otib a less interesting place to spend some time. I will await the crap that comes my way...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it SL actually watches this dross occasionally? It's the first match in 40 years I've ever left early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term I still believe in the project but with just 6 games left it's squeaky bum time and time to think of these last 6 games as a mini season.

Leveller Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've supported him having longer because I dislike the knee jerk reactions of other clubs that sack managers annually - or worse. Most of us criticise the fans and boards of those clubs, so it seems hypocritical to join them. That said, the temptation to join in the panic is strong! Hey look, if we'd acted earlier we could have had the benefit of Gianfranco Zola in charge. The truth is it's impossible to know whether a change of manager would be better or not.

How the hell do you believe that he WILL become a good manager in time,please give me some reason that I can comprehend.He has been an absolute car crash of a manager for this club and it's fans and I can see nothing but disaster for us if he continues in his current role.I really don't think he will be employable by any club except one that his father is running.
