Marlborough Red Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 They will have a couple of days rest now so we can assess everybody’s lifestyles, what we need to do as a club over the course of the rest of the season and I think we will give it a shot" Can't believe this quote from Johnson on the official website. It's blindingly obvious what we have to do over the rest of the season to get into the play offs. As to saying ,"think we will give it a shot" , I am amazed at the lack of decisiveness shown by our manager. He should be demanding , as the fans are , that the players give everything they have to get into the premiership. Each of the last 12 games must be treated as a Cup Final with nothing left on the pitch by any player.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is obviously talking tactics, systems etc and not just 'win more games than teams below us'. I look forward to your in-depth analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I thought we had our game management, savvy back v QPR with 10...but clearly not. I thought though, we definitely had our mojo back v Fulham- THAT was a lot more like the City we are used to, who were so good up until the turn of the year. (As well as indeed, raising it v Man City twice despite the generally poor 2018). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 And that is open for criticism? Deary me. He has nailed his colours to the mast - he thinks after and resulting from the assessment carried out over the rest days, in his opinion, we will give it a shot. I'm not sure what on earth is indecisive about that, it's basically as decisive without promising what he could not promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlborough Red Posted February 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 "sour, miserable, furious old git desperate to make him the villain" Thanks for that ! Just a supporter for over 55 years who doesn't want to see the season squandered for lack of belief . Simply want him to be far more positive. This is our best chance to get into the Premiership for many years and I would like to see him come out and instil some belief and confidence into the players to make it happen Statements such as "think we will give it a shot " don't fill me with confidence. 12 games to make it happen.

I'm not sure I can ever recall a manager saying "I think we will get promoted" or "I think we will win the league". It's usually along the lines of "we will give it our best shot" or "we've put ourselves in a great position" or "we've given ourselves a good chance".

It was probably just a verbal response to a mundane interview question, that reads much worse written down with no context. i.e Interviewer: Do you believe your squad has what it takes to see it through to a top six finish. LJ: Well, we’re going to go out there and give it a damn good shot! We will give absolutely everything we have to deliver the best possible season.

What about all the other 'quotes' from the article? "I genuinely believe in the group of players that I have. We can win games between now and the end of the season." "I’m devastated we haven’t won the game but I’m upbeat with the group of players I have. We’re in a decent position and things will turn into a positive." And all the other positive comments in the actual interview? Why pick one comment that you don't like the sound of? Take the whole interview instead. Taking 'soundbites and turning it into a negative? Why? Do you not think LJ and the Coaching staff are doing their utmost to breed confidence and positive thoughts into the players?

Not specifically directed at you fella and it was a bit of a joke, but the trend on here is to bash the coaching staff for any little thing and this seems to be another example of it.

Have no issues with the quote at all and this is not in any way shape or form a pop at LJ, but can someone explain what the 'assess everybody's lifestyles' bit is getting at? Seems a strange one and could be understood as being a pop at certain players? Interested in people's thoughts whether I'm missing something obvious?!
