cityexile Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yep, our bench suddenly looks so much better than even a couple of weeks ago. Going to be a blow missing Baker for three weeks, but hopefully if we can keep everyone until the end of the window, we end it much stronger than we started it.

Robbored Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 LJs decision making has improved hugely this season. He rarely get the substitutions wrong and that ties in with game management mentioned on a different thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really weird when people say this so regularly - I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before under previous coaching setups. I guess it’s a subtle attempt to discredit Johnson. Essentially it’s LJ who decides which coaching staff to employ so he must take the biggest share of the plaudits. I’m sure they all do a good job though - just remember a year ago poor old Holden was some sort of Jonah to many! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern coaching is a team game and you need a range of skills and views. Lee recognises the contribution Macca and Dean make by having them lead press conferences for instance.

Hampshire Red Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Interesting how no pundits were taking notice of Lj a year ago and now they are all joining in with the views on this forum. He is one of the best young managers in England he recruits good staff, handles the media well, deals with idiot players well rotates squad cleverly and is genuinely exceptional! Oh and SL deserves most praise in the last year for seeing what some but all on here could see as potential. We just got to keep him if we miss out come April/May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman_Red Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Good substitutions from LJ, it's obvious we're at our best when Korey is in centre midfield and he wanted to get that shape back. But bringing Maggers on at 1-0 would have no doubt given him a massive confidence boost as well after mid week. It would have been easy to leave him on the bench and keep Korey at right back, but trusting him in what was going to be an aerial bombardment from QPR hopefully spurs him on.

Spoke to Bailey tonight at The Flyers Basketball game - was there with Luke Steele and Jens Hegeler. He Thought Baker’s Challenge was a yellow, but when I told him that he’d launched himself, he had a wry smile along the lines of "yes, it was a shocker, but I can’t say it’s a red can I?" He took responsibility for picking up M.Smith, after Flint got outmuscled by him a couple if times. Knew he wasn’t gonna sin the header but he is so strong and gets his body in tough positions to stop a striker getting a clean header. Captain’s performance today!

I thought Mags would have come on straight away, interesting LJ held off until HT. It's the versatility of the squad that's keeping our season going. We've had no real RB for months and yesterday we played 3 different players at LCB. As players come back from injury, and get fit we are going to have genuinely good options all over. LJ is going to have some tough choices to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look back at the 4 signings we made last January, (Djuric, Hegeler, Taylor & him) he has made by far the biggest contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
