Chris_B_SWFC Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) Don't know now. I wanted him gone before the international break and I'm not sure one decent result can change the bigger picture. But it's hard to argue with the facts, we have more points after 6 games than we did in our two previous seasons. Carlos' trend of slow but steady improvement looks like continuing. All that said, I still see 9 points from those first six games (considering who we were playing) as something of a disappointment. Anyone else on the fence? .

Beholder Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Nobody is gonna complain after a win. Certainly not me. There are a few things that are starting to work, Hooper Fletcher, Bannan left with Reach overlapping, Lee coming back and Jones and Van Aken playing. But it's all about consistency and not dropping points like we have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertomackelino Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 No chance Carlos is King !!!!!!!!!!!! Aken looked good on debut and with lee's back anything is possible up the Owls!!!! Butterfield looked good when he came on. After this game we can beat anyone in this division no danger , bring on the pigs!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 The most difficult thing for Carlos is going to be transitioning the team for a home performance and a away one as I am convinced we are going to play two totally different ways. Masters that then we will be promoted under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwokenGiant Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) A common theme throughout last season and (potentially) this - doubters will continue to doubt then we win a few and it all goes quiet. Doubter will continue to doubt then we...(ad infinitum). Edited September 9, 2017 by AwokenGiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's going to take more than one win to change my mind. Every now and then we will win games just because we get everything right with our preparation. My thoughts are this is more down to luck than design. I don't think he has enough about him to get this team promoted. Most games we play below our potential. I hope he proves me wrong, but my fear is he will do enough to cling on to his job until the chance of promotion passes us by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Be Back Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm not sitting in judgment at all, because I share the concerns; Carlos seems to lack confidence in the quality of the players and their ability to take their game to the opposition, whoever that may be. It *is* extremely frustrating. However, I do think these kind of opinions should be formed over 10-game runs at the very least. I would have looked for another manager after the play off failure last year but now we've kept with Carlos I'll take a look after the first 10 league games this season before deciding. Until then, I think we need to sit tight. Personally, I think he (Carlos) may overthink things a lot of the time and also has felt the need to accommodate Forestieri into the side as he's obviously our most technically talented player. With him now unavailable, and for some time, this may be a blessing in disguise as it will mean commiting to the Fletcher/Hooper partnership up front and a more balanced starting eleven as a whole. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the monk Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Is the o/p suggesting we deliberately start slow and build ? I mean really ? I'm a Carlos knocker , I don't think he's up to it ,BUT give me positive footy like that for a few games and I'm back with him Credit where it is due Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No 2 is r nilsson Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 That first 20 was some of the best football I've seen in a while. As I see it that was down to Carlos setting us up to exploit the holes behind their midfield. We could have been 2 or 3 up. Not sure what they did with the substitution but they seemed to switch to a flat back four to tighten it up, which evened it up. We beat a good side today, and with a better final ball it could have been a lot more. Well done Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I've wanted a change of coach since Brighton away last season. Since then we've had some very bad games, a few good games, and a lot of okay games, but my feeling about our lack of progress under him hasn't budged much. Today felt good though. Winning was important but what was more important for me was that I felt very well entertained, and I can't say I've felt that much this last 12 months or so. We keep playing like this and I would expect my faith in CC's abilities to be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it odd that you start this debate after a solid home win ...just enjoy a pint and forget about managerial issues for one day . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hes still under pressure and so he should be! We looked better for the first 70 minutes playing a diamond without playing conventional wingers. Wingers dont suit us - our width must come from the full backs. Whether we go with this formation or 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
