theowlsman Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I was getting the impression during the earlier part of the interview that Jos had gone. Bullen’s demeanour suggesting so. Intersting he just refers to “the manager decided to drop senior pros”, distancing himself from that, and suggestng no close personal bond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could also be a club decision to take him out of firing line. First decent one they have made for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still find it completely shocking that Wildsmith was no longer no. 1 after summer based on the tremendous job he did second half of last season, also under Jos... and then suddenly he was second in pecking order... At least when Dawson's on a bad run - albeit collectively - then try shake things up even for that position of the pitch. I agree everyone in the team needs to take responsibility for goals conceded and I want a local lad to do well but try as I might I just dont have confidence in Dawson.

Just banging the ''we are in it together'' drum He understands the club, the English game and can speak the language, so he is a billion times better than Jos BUT he has always been good at saying what the fans want to hear Time for action now not words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the latter how can you expect your team to turn up if your "leader" can't be arsed. Sorry but that's a bit much. Its not training or the pre match team talk. It's the press trying to make it a harder job for him to keep. I may want him out too but to make this a big issue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making it a big issue, as a leader of men you lead from the front and show strength of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Should have been a rallying cry from Jos today in the presser, not leaving it to Bullen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 So Jos gets Bully to stand it the technical box for him and now he gets him to take the pre match press conference. And DC still thinks sacking him wont make a difference? Give the fans some faith in you DC? GEEZ!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 To me JL should get the sack from what I have seen on the pitch, not if he turns up at a press conference or not. Turning into a witch hunt against him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I reckon Jos has been given a breather to take him out of the firing line. Back home for Christmas and a chance to recharge his batteries so he can be at his effervescent best in January 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) Strange. After him walking out he’s probably been given a breather from doing them, bit of a cowardly move though imo. Unfortunately I doubt it means he’s gone. Edited December 21, 2018 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robowl4life Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Did he just hint who he’d like as next manager with the Megson comment!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
