Silvio Dante Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Evening Post reporting that he’s seeking a head coach role elsewhere. Apparently close to both Southend and Stevenage roles recently so gives him the chance to go into the market and any new club don’t have to pay compensation (he had a years notice clause) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunsteral Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I am not really surprised when you consider he came as Under 23's coach when he joined us, but since then most of our U23 players have been sent out on loan so he has not been coaching the best young uns (which a Swindon supporter friend of mine says he is very good at. The other thing that i dont think he would have been very happy with, was at the recent U23's game against Birmingham City Lee Johnson came down from the stand to the touchline and was issuing instructions to the players on the pitch, which i thought at the time was out of order.

Regarding the last sentence LJ is head coach and quite within his rights to coach any player or team under his remit. I doubt LW was undermined or upset by his boss’s interest and support of his charges. I could understand if Williams wants to have a crack at first team level .

No it’s not out of order. LJ is HEAD coach. That should tell you that he’s the boss of the entire playing side of the club and quite entitled to do as he pleases. I’d imagine that the younger players were impressed and motivated to see LJ there and giving out practical and tactical advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Could argue the head coach of under 18s down to under 8s is more important than who's under 23s head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redysteadygo Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 One game earlier in the season as the U23s came off at half time L J walked down the tunnel and gave the nod to Semenyo, who was a sub, and sure enough Semenyo started the second half. The pitch side management team had barely moved. It appeared LJ had made the decision but it could have been pre planned but why did LJ take the initiative?

Unlike our previous manager who didn’t bother at all. Anyway, anyone for Darren Way as next 23’s boss? Currently out of work and a great mate of LJ. Whilst his managerial tenure wasn’t covered in greatness, I’m told by people who’ve worked under him that he’s a great coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted November 14, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 1 minute ago, Harry said: Results aren’t important at u23 To a point, you don’t want any player/competitor in any sport to become used to losing and be told it doesn’t matter. So whilst development is the main aim, it’s the complete development which should include determination, belief and a winning attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear this a lot but don't believe it. Most people is sport have a great desire to win whether they're playing football or monopoly or tiddlywinks with the kids. I don't regard myself as overly competitive but I beat myself up if I miss the front pin at skittles or the double in darts. You have to be disappointed and hurting if you lose.

He wasn’t well liked by Yeovil fans that I know and spoke to, even talk of him keeping his job because of his links with certain important people rather than him being any good. Certainly seemed to have a high opinion of himself though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpexile Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Major, I see it as a sign of BCFC now having quality in many positions, which sadly means that they will be in demand from other clubs.

Ultimately LJ is responsible for everything football related. If he wants Semenyo to get some minutes then that's what happens. The U23s are not another football club, they are not in competition with us, their role is to assist the football club as a whole. The football club comes first, not the ego of some random U23s manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er why?? These players may one day have to play for him, he's trying to get the best out of every player at the club. And i trust LJ way more than Luke Williams Luke Williams job was to manage the under 23's which means he does what LJ Says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
