Engvall’s Splinter Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) Both the club and local radio interviewers are garbage. Is Mark Sykes carrying a knock? Are you having to manage his minutes? What were your thoughts when bringing Knight off? TGH has picked up the clubs player of the month award, what led you to start Williams over him this evening? How do you feel you can get the best out of TC in this system? Edited December 12, 2023 by Engvall’s Splinter 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Got a real bad feeling about all this Defo relegation battle unless the owners spunk some decent funds in 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-S-M Seagull Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 It is concerning that hes talking about players feeling sorry for themselves. Its also concerning that he suggests the players may have been over loaded and that we don't want to lose our spirit and willingness to run. I have posted my concerns about this previously because I felt as if he came in and tried to change too much at once. Revolution not evolution. It's good he recognises these things however these cracks appearing are a concern. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I think the key here is “belief” “edge” “fight” - ie the things he classed as positive (which they were) are an inherent part of the group mentality and not down to him or the coaching team. And if they’re “overloaded mentally” then Liam, sorry, you’ve got it wrong. I forget who said that football is a simple game over complicated by idiots. That quote kind of resonates currently for some reason. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may need in February to think carefully whether to retain Manning if results don’t dramatically improve Perhaps owners don’t like the expense of The Championship and would feel happier in division 1 Who knows, because the owners treat the fans so poorly 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 It feels like everyone’s losing at the moment, he was clearly onto something at Oxford.

That quote kind of resonates currently for some reason. I mean it is vastly more tactically varied and complicated than it once was at higher levels tbh. We however need to strip it back a bit, gradually evolve go the preferred Manning style once the base is stabilised again. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I have been completely unimpressed so far, I have absolutely nothing against Manning and have felt the Lee Johnson comparisons have been totally unfair. This, however, is peak Lee Johnson. If anything, I’ve coached them too well. Absolute garbage. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 First interview where he sounds and looks like someone a bit broken. It's starting to get to him imo.
