Generally I think consistency of management is a good thing, and I’ve constantly pointed to broad progress up the league. But that consistency can also become staleness, and that’s what we look to me now; stale. We have the quality in the squad and the status in the game as a top half team with play off potential; now could be the time to take advantage of that and go and get a manager with the credentials to take us to the next level. I’ve lost faith that Johnson as the man to do it. It’s really interesting to see a level-headed poster like you reach this conclusion Chippenham. You clearly think about these things before posting them on here, unlike many of the knee jerkers or people who have been anti-Johnson from the start. I’m not in the Johnson out camp yet, but you do wonder where we’re going under him now. I think I saw yesterday that we have won 6 in our last 19 at home, and many of those performances have been absolutely turgid. I don’t go to AG expecting to enjoy the game at the moment and I guess that tells its own story. I’m still behind Johnson for now as I like the stability he brings and we are still in a good position, especially if we recruit well in January. I fear, however, that we’re destined to finish somewhere around mid-table. If that does come to pass then I’m afraid it will be time for change.

Would Chris Houghton, Slavisa Jakanovic for example get more out of this team, manage games, recruit better? I think the answer is yes. I think the answer is **** yes.

The problem is I don’t think we’re getting the best out of them, and LJ has failed to establish a consistent selection and formation to do so. One thing that must be said is that I do think we’d be doing better with Afobe in the team, and that was simply very bad luck for LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said it elsewhere: legends in their own lunchtimes. None of them have achieved anything. They were nothing as players and they’ll be nothing as managers/ Assistants.

One Team Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 If SL didn’t sack him after the 8 game losing streak he sure isn’t going to now or any time soon. I have said it before on here, even if we went down I think he would still stick with him. Personally I don’t want to see him go and would like to see how the window and rest of the season pans out.

pongo88 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 It seems as though losing streaks run in the family. Gary Johnson, at Torquay, has just lost the last 6 league matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 LJ’s record breaking run of 9 straight defeats back in 2016/17 started 3 games before Christmas. Huddersfield, Brentford and Preston beat us in those 3 games immediately prior to Christmas Day. 1 team from Yorkshire (away) 1 from Lancashire (Home) and 1 from London (Home). I don’t know where I’m going with this to be honest so carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 The 29th is a big effort for me to get to the game. Unfortunately the 26th may make the decision for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really poor and SL won’t stand for it either. I think LJ will given January window to sort it out though and has probably earnt a bit of time due to progress over last few years. It’s been all season at home bar the odd game - I truly don’t look forward or get excited about it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
