M Royds Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Word before was that Jos likes his defences tight. Would keep things tight at the back. The eveidence points to the complete opposite. We are leaking goals easily and can get overwhelmed, even with injuries slowly clearing up. I know building a team is a long process but a manger, whose reputation is on solid defending and keeping the opposition in check, it doesn’t seem to be turning out that way. Is Jos able to cut the mustard in the cut and thrust of English football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I suppose he has guided us away from danger as required. But in terms of getting us up my gut feel is that he is not the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 It’s becoming increasingly clear why he hasn’t worked for 2 years. Another duff appointment by DC. Maybe the penny will drop when this clown gets the bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also likes cutting down trees and uses loads of plastic bags just for the hell of it; he’s pure evil y’know! 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are 17th, still not mathematically safe with 4 games to spare and our form under his tenure has still been a horror show. I think you're giving him a great deal of credit by suggesting he's "guided us away" from anything. Id say its more that we've fell over the line thanks to Nuhiu suddenly turning into a footballer and a brief Bannan cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield alien Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Maybe Jos can't wait to go back home..wherever that is...I bet he's holed up in an hotel away from friends and family leading a very lonely existence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t buy this whole “he deserves a chance” testicles. Bloke makes bizarre formation choices and stands on the sidelines like a statue. Get rid.

Based on points per game that's almost identical with his predecessor who had many more options for most of the season. Under the circumstances he inherited, it's not terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cognacbarnowl Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If he goes at the end of the season then I for one will thank him and wish him all the best for his future. If he stays with us he will have my 100% backing until he proves he can take us no further. Even if it means a wasted season, I am intrigued to see what he can achieve with a fully fit squad and whatever players he can bring in.

I don’t think so, at one stage we were in complete free fall and a relegation battle was looming, he had to work with our second team to stop that. If a player does well under a manager and has unprecedented form then I think he deserves some credit, the same goes for Joao. Many managers would’ve persisted with Rhodes. I’m not suggesting we have been decent under him but I think he has done what his initial task was. I would’ve liked to see a bit more aggression in the team defensively but I think we generally lack that as a team, partly due to the philosophy of a previous manager. The problem is I don’t know what Jos’ philosophy actually is and I think we need someone more proven in this league to help us move forward.

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Why change the formation? We had the perfect players to stay with a back 3, yet he plays Thorniley out of position at left back and Reach is still clowning around in midfield. QPR are not a good side, but we were abysmal. Back 5 with Reach at left wing back (or bench). It’s so simple. If not, I’m on the Jos our brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 we need to see what he can do with a fully fit squad and maybe 2 or 3 additions in the summer ......he may well turn out to be wrong'un but theres no guarantees that his replacement will be any better and then what do we do sack him as well and turn into another leeds .......jos needs a fair crack at it and that's summat he hasn't had yet .

s110wl Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hard to win football matches with Palmer, thorniley and pudil playing in a back four. With jones in front of them... *throws up* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
