arpaul Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 according to Keith Millen in this evenings paper. Does this mean that failure to win on Boxing day will bring about his and Tinnions instant resignation. Managers are judged on results, and unfortunately they have not been good enough, and despite a 12(?) match unbeaten run I still see my team 12 points off automatic promotion. Add to this a totally inept performance against Luton where our management duo showed their tactical naivity by the substitutions and formation changes. In short-Played off the park for 90 minutes and got what we deserved. The buck stopped with Wilson and Barlow last season to the delight of many a forum member, so the same must apply to Tinnion and Millen. The clock is ticking..........

Now I know that that is not what you are saying or what some might think I am saying but........ I'd rather he got us back to the winning ways and we could all rest easy.

Rich-TWSC- Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Tinnion is going nowhere: Win, lose or draw. I'm sure he's not a coward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I so hope Tinnion & Millen get it right as it's BCFC that is the ultimate winner & loser. I have my concerns about the current management team & believe we must give them until its clear we are not going to fulfill our promotion goal before any changes are made. Or is that too late? Reckon Tinnion should have been a number 2 first or had a more experienced assistant. But we still are in the mix & while consistancy remains an issue, we have to hope that the team can perform like we know they can. But I fear as with DW, we could be finding that some of the players think they are better than they are & perform more when they feel like it! Starting on Sunday, I reckon we will go on a nice little run & play-offs are within our reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinnion has said that having been with City for so long, he knows better than anyone what the supporters expect. Honourable yes. Coward no.

Rich-TWSC- Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Maybe the City board rushed his appointment? Maybe they should have at least interviewed others? Tinnion has done okay. But I think that if he was a first time manager with, lets say, Chesterfield I think they'd be bottom of the league.... But because Tinnion inheritated a good squad maybe his lack of experience hasn't shown as much? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The red dog Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I believe Tinnion will come good as City manager if given the time, I think he may go on to be a top manager one day, however this season is possibly too soon for him. If we don't make it this season, then I'm sure with the structure of the club and the experience and knowledge Tinnion would have gained this time around, then next year will definately be our year. I get the feeling we are due good times soon! Brian Tinnion should definately be given the chance to prove his worth as manager, if you cut him I bet he bleeds red blood! p.s picture this thought, if Tinnion did turn things around for us in the second half of the season, and gain promotion, we would be calling him GOD!

DW got us ever closer & except for strange happenings at Cardiff would have had us up! Tinnion has inherited a quality squad & even added to that. He & SL said that promotion was the goal this season & if SL had the intention of giving Tinnion 4 years then we have gone backwards!! The chance was appointing a rookie - I hope it pays off but we ain't going to wait 4 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon Hater Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Yeh but, yeh but, yeh but, yeh but. DW got us ever closer ← Erm, didn't we finish 9th in his first season in charge? Then we were top of the leaguein Janurary if I remember correctly the following season, but finished 7th, please me tell if that's close. Tinnion should be given a full season, and I believe we will finish in a decent playoff spot, 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Angelina's Strawberry Gusset Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 As with us, you're 4 points away from the play offs and have 24 games left to play. The difference with you lot, is you score goals regularly - we don't. Anyone writing off your season at this stage would be barmy in my view.

Please explain yourself. ← Only one worthwhile shot on goal in 90 minutes. I think this statistic sums it all up. But while I'm here:- Luton had four forward (minimum) in every attack, so when "the forums Chumpion" changed to three at the back it left one Luton forward unmarked every time. In truth, if we allow our heads to rule our hearts for a moment, we'd all agree that we were lucky to escape without a worse beating than the Sheffield Wednesday debacle.
