gurujuan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 When I saw our summer signings, that was when I readjusted my expectations We have a squad that is capable of avoiding relegation, just, so where we are now is about right. Strengthen the squad and maybe we could push on to mid table. It might not be palatable for some of us but that's the reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mpinkie182 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Give him until January then MM needs to make a decision . If we are bottom 5 then he has to go. IMO. We need to see his plan b on the pitch, 442 give mayor or JJ a chance . Try bothroyd up front with marine.! Gotta love Marine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 But do you REALLY? You'd honestly say you'd be happy for Dj to be given more cash and trusted to spend it in the transfer window. I know I wouldn't. That'd be the same Dave Jones who kept Cardiff in and around the play-offs, play-off and FA Cup final for several seasons while at the same time trading players giving Cardiff a £20m positive transfer budget? Funds which probably kept an otherwise dead club, alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddyowl Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Most intelligent and reasonable Wednesday fans want him in. Those who are short sighted and ignorant want him out. DJ will stay. That, in itself is very short sighted and ignorant ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethertonowl Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Must stay for me. Time and again we have sacked the manager. If he had come into the club, with us established in this division, I may thnik differently, but he hasnt. We have moved up a step, the squad he inherited was short of the quality to survive in this league, but did have the spirit and work rate.Meegy built a horse for the league 1 course, Dj has looked to add the quaity, but for me cash nneds to be spent on 2 Strikers, not loan signings. Over to you Milan. It was reported that we were keeping funds for January, well now we know we need them Give Jones the time and cash. If the front emn were converting a higher percentage of the chances we have created other areas of the team woudnt look so under pressure and then Jones could play the 442 open attractive style he likes. Bring in a better second than Wilkinson and who know we may yet have another Big Ron and a team we cant all be very proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p.c guru Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We need things to improve. We've taken just 8 points from the last 39. Dave Jones told us to look at where we are after ten games. He also said he wanted to play constructive football, building from the back. Well Friday night, was more hoof ball. We only have seven more games left until Christmas. According to John Ryan relegation to League 1 cost Donny Rovers around £6m. I can't see our chairman wanting to spend that. We just want Dave Jones to pick some points up to avoid a relegation dog fight. Dave Jones in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I think its swings and roundabouts. It was hinted at by DJ and PA that it was important to keep the squad together and take advantage of the momentum we'd built. At the time I thought, great secure the 4 loanees on permanent deals, get a couple of old heads and bring in a few quality loanees. It was soon clear that was not going to happen as we began to recruit virtually a new squad, any momentum was then lost. Clearly had we run with the squad that finished last season, we would have struggled, so recruitment was needed. It was the level of recruitment that surprised me. DJ obviously wanted his own players and thats fair enough. However, when the dust had settled our squad still looked lacking in certain areas. DJ has brought in some good players no doubt about that, but over all, we lack the quality to be a top half team. Thats when I readjusted my expectations. I do think he will get it right, but it is gonna take time. There are signs that he is now prepared to make the sacrifices needed to rectify the imbalances in the squad. This I'm happy with, but they will need to be quality loan additions of the kind he brought in last season. As I said, we are where I expected us to be. With the new additions and the squad having bedded in, I expect a better second half to the season. Not unduly worried and still fully behind the manager.

31Dec1966 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'm right behind him. No point in being disruptive, we need to stick together. Staying up will be an achievement, htis division is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arobert Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Dave Jones lost his head in the summer transfer whirlwind. Critically he brought in Pecnik, McGuire and Rodri and had clearly not watched and studied these players in depth. The wages of those three would have paid for one quality loan striker. He also stupidly blew his wages budget hence our desperation to now ship people out on loan. Sadly we are left with a squad that is big, largely inexperienced and lacks quality at Championship level. The result is now inevitable - Dave Jones departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 There is truth in all of that Arobert, except the last bit. I don't think his departure is inevitable, though I agree he made mistakes in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jack Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 He is the man in post and the best man for it give it time he will turn us round. We were always going to struggle to adjust but he will get us to be able to compete at the top end of this league if he is given the time, his record backs that up.
