I would be interested to hear any views on why we should persist. I cannot think of any myself but maybe I am missing something? I don't think sacking him helps the situation. He has his pros and cons the weekends effort is clearly a con. But there are a number of clubs going through similar runs of form, I'd say December to be sure it's not just bad luck.

Seriously.....for a head coach with LJ's record of losing streaks that now happen on a regular basis,if they haven't got some irons in the fire it shows that this club is happy with mediocrity.

Yep, and in the three seasons McCarthy managed Wolves in the championship they finished 5th, 7th, 1st....then had three seasons in the premier league under Mick....but a significant number of our fans don’t want him....

We have a snobbiness, that doesn’t think players or managers who’ve plyed their trade at the level above us are good enough unless they come from a top 6 club....which never happens (unless on loan). On twitter I had a debate with someone who said we should never have Moyes because he referred to us as Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 The interesting thing I have noticed is before there was probably about a fifty fifty split of LJ out and give LJ more time... now very few are backing him. I believed he was heading in the right direction and after saving us from relegation and the great cup run he deserved more time. Now I will happily admit time is up. We're going backwards and it's time for a change. Sorry LJ. I really wanted it to work but time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 After reading MMcC's wiki page, he's got some record as a club Manager! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_McCarthy We could do a lot worse if we were in the market for a new boss.

Seriously, there is no case, people have protected him for long enough and made up excuse after excuse. He's a rookie manager (how long for), his win record is good, not since last December it's not. He saved us from relegation, personally think the players did that by pulling the stops out and stopping the in fighting. He is a tinker man and has a few favourites like a spoilt kid. The more tools he has, the more he over thinks and uses them, spoiling any team bonding and consistency. It's no coincidence that our best spell under Johnson came when we had an injury crisis, forcing his hand re team selection. No coincidence either that, on the return of injured players, the consistency and spirit went out of the team, along with results. It's about time Mr Lansdown stopped throwing good money after bad, get rid and cut your losses. LJ might be a good man behind the scenes and has a good vision for the club but, he has little idea of how to set up a team and even less of how to combat another team and their manager. He's being taught lesson after lesson by other managers but not learning or, not learning enough, quickly enough. Exactly make him ballboy and get a proper manager in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really tough choice BS4. I notice my favourite Specials track, Pressure drop, isn't on there but out of those 2, I would probably go with too much too young, a blinding track. There are sooo many to choose from TBH. When you play in Bristol, put it on here, if that's the era you're playing, I will come and have a skank. 2 minutes ago, Judda said: Gangsters gets my vote!

Ska Junkie Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Given the 'friendship' between SL and the bullet proof one, how about 'Little bitch'? Alternatively, 'Do nothing' seems quite apt as that is what'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
