Sergeant Tibbs Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Firstly, as a bloke, I like Jos. Before a couple of games he's signed autographs and done the PR bit with my lad and a few other young uns. His openness about injuries, his approach to giving youth a chance and reluctance to rush players back - all highly admirable qualities. Scroll past the next paras if you want Jos to stay. The wins. Reading - F A cup, flattered by the scoreline, a very average opponent anyway. Leeds and Preston. Games won late on where we the score line flattered us. Sunderland away - toxic club who most have beat, crucial decision went our way at 2-1. Derby at home was fully deserved.But that's it. Now for the real truth, under Jos, Birmingham Bristol QPR - all over at half time. Based on his fiirst 3 months, a full season under Jos would see us in a relegation battle. Is that what we want ? Not sure what our budgets will be next season, I'd like to think we could attract somebody who could offer more than mid table mediocrity (at best) - I'd like Johnson from Bristol. But back to Jos, if your remit was to keep us up, thanks, but move over. If it was to offer hope of progress, it not happened. I'm not a CC fan, wouldn't want him back this century, but based on what we've seen, his replacent will not take us forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsyowl Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Give the bloke a chance, he’s experimenting you can’t build a team in 3 month man, he needs a fully fit squad & pre-season before I judge properly 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 He's taken over a side that was grossly underprepared pre season,that was cut to the bone by injuries and tried to make them into a decent squad. Hiding to hell some might say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 We need a clean break. For me that includes the manager. Tough circumstances yada yada.. I'm not really interested. We need to go into next year with as little follow on from this season as possible and I don't want to bring this manager any further for the ride. His destiny is to go back to European lower league football and become a quiz question answer for years to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could argue the point against a lot of what you posted,but the one i'll get my teeth into is this "i'd like Johnson from Bristol",his first season (bearing in mind this is his second) he stank,city fans threw a proper wobbler at that losing run they went on,just did enough to stay up. Onto this season,all points to the @rse falling out of em again,so the mid table mediocrity you claim we'd have under Jos,isn't really bettered by Johnson is it.

Given the horrendous circumstances he inherited, that isn't terrible. On a points per game basis it's almost identical with Carvalhal's record and he had something approaching a full squad for much of his time in charge. It's not a cause for great optimism but he could have done much worse. I suspect his predecessor might have had he stayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 We don’t want unrealistic expectations but this appointment never generated a buzz. I’m not sure it will over the summer either but we will probably find out as I don’t think he will go anywhere. He’s not done terribly under the circumstances and he’s had a tough gig. But I just don’t think he’s shown any characteristics as a manager or his style of play that suggest he is likely to be the man to get us up there. Would love to be proven wrong.

TaxiMark Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Only thing saving jos at the min is all of the injuries but tbh im not convinced he could do much better with a fully fit side. Seems very negative but its a hard one to call, some would say we need to see how he fairs with the full squad back. Personally I wish he hadnt got him here in the first place . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seeing games out - Bolton. Team Selection - Millwall. The teams going down this season will have lower points totals than previous. I'd have loved for him to have done better, but far too often, his team has been abject. I accept he inherited a ravaged, heartless squad, but he signed up for it. I didn't go tonight, but to travel 200 miles to see your team beaten inside 30 mins...woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
