Robin101 Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 We’re not at LJ out point yet, but his problem is that given he built this squad (almost entirely I believe?) he is to blame if there’s no leaders, no identity, no heart etc. He has undoubtedly been afforded more resources and patience than any manager in our history. He’s been given 2-3 seasons to build on a team which was frankly almost there. And we are drifting currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Players ate too much turkey and Christmas pudding. We go again on Saturday. 3 season ticket holders here wondering whether we can be bothered to go down. 4 on the bounce now. This team are not as bad as that. It's obviously tactical. New blood now desperately needed in January including a centre forward who can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that’s can be the only reason you posted this that or you are a Brentford fan still bitter about selling probbily the best city keeper since god knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL could make a very brave decision now, LJ has hit the wall and can’t climb over it, someone else may well be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curr Avon Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 The sad truth is, Charlton won because they wanted it more. Even at 2-1 down with a makeshift team they kept running and had a quality striker in Bonne, not long out of non-League, to spearhead their efforts. Our capitulation reminds me of a great Malcolm Tucker put down from the brilliant political satire The Thick of It. "From bean to cup, you **** up."

RedRaw Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 12 minutes ago, Curr Avon said: I expect the, "Not enough leaders," excuse will be trotted out. Well, our Captain had another poor game and needs to handover the armband before it drains him of saleability (if you believe the rumours). The problem is, who IS fit to lead? Please step forward before it's too late. This is half the problem. Johnson picked Brownhill as captain.....probably the most timid and least vocal midfielder we have. He is not going to lead and inspire when the chips are down, in fact, he’s looking absolutely lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a radicle change at the club, whether that’s a big January window or a change of manager I don’t know.

I wanted him to do well, liked him as a player, and on here I was a great defender of his infinitely more accomplished Dad to the bitter end. He almost convinced me...but sadly not to be.

wayne allisons tongues Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 It seems when we have a load of injuries and team picks itself we do well. When we have players available and the temptation is there to tweak things is when LJ loses the plot and complicates things. Why is it week after week we get outthought first half and we have to change things, do we actually watch the opposition. Defensively we’ve been a shambles for 9 months now and we just carry on conceding 2+ goals a game. Maybe instead of trying to being clever tactically go back to basics and stop conceding goals.

Agreed, he has more time that some other club managers have had who were sacked for not succeeding. SL has given him more money than any other manager that I can remember and there is no way that he will take us any further than boom and bust in the Championship. It's no secret that I didn't want him in the first place, was prepared to give him a chance, but now I feel that his constant losing runs every season will never get City to the Prem. SL needs to consider carefully what he wants from a manager, a yes man or a man who can lead a team forward and imo LJ is not that man. Over to you SL!

Why Newcastle United . Not a great end to the day in Isewater junior’s house . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
