Swiss Toni Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think probably a 3 or 4 but I'd rate the players less than that and they have to take as much responsibility. There were some positives in the first week or two or two of his appointment in that we appeared to shore ourselves up at the back and were able to introduce some youth into the side. Since then we haven't kicked on though and the transition from having a side a bit more solid to then shifting to a more offensive unit is failing. Under Carlos my view is that the players were on easy street and when things were going well this was fine. Bringing in a more disciplined manager with strict rules is a good thing but are the players adapting and accepting their new responsibilities? Maybe not and the culture shock to the playing staff is starting to show. Jos has credentials and you don't get 3 different clubs to the Bundesliga if you're a mug. The timing of his appointment was the concern to me as Carlos should have gone in the Summer. Bringing in Jos at the start of January was fine if you're then going to back him fully in the transfer market (knowing the injury crisis) which Chansiri didn't. Jos came out and said he identified a number of players and that unfortunately they couldn't finalise the deals - why I wonder?! I feel sorry for Jos in away because like I said the other day it feels like he's been put in charge of the Titanic once it's already hit the iceberg and told to keep the ship afloat. At least the likes of Sunderland, Burton, Hull, Birmingham, Barnsley and Reading appear to be in similar trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist_Owl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Problems not of making, but looks in over his head. Not really providing a galvanizing, commanding countenance at the moment. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosbyKitchens Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1 for the win against Derby. Other than that I can't figure out what the f*ck he's trying to do. Why didn't he make subs tonight? Take Palmer off and bring Abdi on, put Reach out wide. JUST DO SOMETHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athelwulf Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 4 Been dealt a very poor hand, but when that happens you need a Colin, a Meggo, an Evo etc. Most of them are abrasive characters and generally disliked. Jos isn't the right man for these parlous circumstances. I have to agree with what others have said. If he stays we'll go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I’m down to a 4 now. Seems to be losing control of the situation, leading to weird decisions game after game. This games weird decisions were to leave João on the bench, refuse to make another change (again), and pair Butterfield and Jones together again. Beating Bolton would maintain a 4. Drawing would knock him to a 3, losing would put him at a 1 and I’ll be calling for him to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His substitutions are woeful. He keeps picking Jones & Butterfield. We’re 2-1 down to a terrible Ipswich team with 15 minutes to go. Does he make a sub? No! Does he change our set up? No! We have 2 holding midfielders, 3 centre halfs and a totally inept pair of wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poite Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 8 hours ago, KivoOwl said: 6 He is currently trying to keep an unfit League 1 squad in the Championship. Don't really agree. When you look at the side we played last night it was better than a league one team. Most of those players have played at championship level or higher for most of their careers. What we have is a bottom half championship side in my view. That's why I don't blame jos entirely but he he should be doing better than what he's doing right now.

TheSlicer Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Playing the younger players is a free shot for him. If he doesn’t get the results he says I had to play the kids. If he wins with the kids he’s on to a winner. The results are not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxing_day Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) He’s been left an absolute shambles by the previous manager, and at first when he came in he made us solid - you could see what he was trying to do. However since Derby his decisions, selections, changes etc have been a joke. Last night even at 1-0 it was crying out to be freshened up. Yet he didn’t make another change, baffling. I now have no idea what he’s trying to achieve. The rotation of players is not conducive to winning games, and it’s become almost as if he doesn’t know how precarious our position is! Id rate him 2/10, and backed him until last night, but that selection, structure, changes was enough for me to turn. I genuinely think we could go down now. Lose Saturday and the trigger has to be pulled even for just a knee jerk couple of results. Edited March 7, 2018 by boxing_day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1 for giving youth a chance but minus 9 for awful team selection and tactics at times and leaving our present top goalscorer on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 id give him 3 . that's just for purely giving young players a chance . he has took on an almost impossible job though, I don't know why for last 2-3 weeks he has changed his tactics ,we have no where near enough going forward ,it might have been better to just try to keep grinding 0-0s out until we (if we ever get players back fit. I wouldn't be bothered if he left though. until chansiri stops taking advise off of fools we are on the biggest slide a football club will ever been on. we are so so lucky that teams below keep losing ,any other season we would be certainties to go down ,with only 2 wins from 20 we are the worst team in the championship without a doubt ,I don't remember mid 70s I'm not that old but surely this is the worst ever team to play for swfc.

Guest mkowl Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 That squad was a match for Ipswich because they were awful as well So 1/10 the same as his win ratio. We don't have time with 10 games to go for a "wait and see" approach. I have waited and seen enough to view him as the new Peter Eustace. A quick kill is needed unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
