Lez Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 How many transfer windows yet we still dont have any philosophy any particular tactical strength or any idea what our best side. 2 more strikers in Jan? How many times have you had this opportunity? You have lost Reid Bryan and Webster....losses.....but you have had so many resources that it is no excuse. So disappointing frustrating annoying but we need direction!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey54 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 We don't need strikers, we need decent coaches. The players are lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redandproud Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 I think Johnson has taken us as far as he can, same as last 3 years, in top 6 then drop away, time for a change I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way he has green lighted the players we have which suggests either poor recruitment or poor coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyisared Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Think if we really want to push onto the next level and get into the Prem I think Johnson needs to go. Get Chris Hughton in, someone who can definitely take us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford have a history of giving managers little to no time and go on a managerial merry-go-round and are bottom of the Prem, if not then not sure who else to go for but it's clear we need a change, maybe Karanka?

I have my doubts though that the kind of 'name' manager some of our fans crave would accept being head coach and not having complete control. Assuming that we could meet their wage demands anyway.

Karanka is an interesting one. Though when he was on Sky recently he was coy when asked if he might end up back at Middlesbrough. Perhaps he is waiting for Woodgate to be sacked!

Jefferz Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Surely from what I see today the problem is in midfield. The back 3/4 are pretty competitive, strong and fairly solid but the midfield area is lacking in pace, competitiveness and creativity. I’ve now seen Kasey Palmer half a dozen times, and he has been off the pace, unable to retain possession and lacking in commitment. If the forward, searching pass is his strength then he isn’t consistent enough at this level. O’Dowda is is similarly slow and takes the wrong option too many times. Nagy and Massengo are promising but lacking drive and commitment. Korey Smith added some stability with his ball-winning and linking work but he is still short of game time.

Jesus wept. My issue isn't the style of play particularly, it's the fact we go on a losing run every season around this time of year which costs us a playoff place, we haven't made any progress on the pitch since we beat United and if LJ was going to take us up I think this season was his last chance, just my opinion though.
