They won't be able to affect anything until it's too late. No time in the training ground and no ability to change personell. We just need to let Thompson take it to the end of the season and reasess when we have a better idea of the conditions a new manager will have to work under. This ^^. He’s done nothing wrong. There are no guarantees either way, new man or existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get the next managerial appointment right. Do we really want another Jos, Monk or Pulis? Now, ask yourself... do you truly believe in your heart of hearts that we will make the right managerial appointment over the next two weeks? Give Thompson the job. It's not worth another go on the managerial merry-go-round for the tiny odds we manage to pick one of The Usual Suspects out that lasts more than a year. And if we get relegated everyone will be saying we should have brought a manager in.... swings and roundabouts. Absolutely blinded by euphoria if you think we played well today. We don't create anything and again lucky we didn't get punished The story says it all the back 3 were our best players on the pitch. Before today everyone was saying how we need to get a manager in and how negative the tactics were. A win and he's now the messiah. So you think we should limp on this season with Thompson in charge to then at the end of the season make a decision based on what league we are in?

We have had our best spell under him. He talks well and you can see players wanting to do well for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie’s Left Peg Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Would be the wrong decision to give NT the mangers job. He has brought positivity to the club to his credit. This could just be because he isn’t Monk or Pulis. He is giving the players licence to express themselves as with Shaw and Palmers goals. But he simply is not the answer. The performances have been poor. The approach is defensive and negative. Selections have been strange. Substitutions have been very poor. Going forward, there’s nothing in his CV to say he can rebuild the team and he’s not likely to attract any players. As for Monk, Pulis, Coleman. Completely wrong choices also. It’s time to start looking at the bigger picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all hoped after the Coventry mess it would spur DC into action. But its becoming pretty obvious DC can't get someone in with every passing day, for whatever reason. After today, and our reasonable home form, might just be better the devil we know for us at the moment with Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think you're misreading me. I am in no way blinded by euphoria. I'm grimly accepting that this is the best we can do. It's not going to be any better with a new manager. We're currently 8th in the form table over the four games Thompson has been in charge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smell the 'not fit for purpose' brigade getting the their crayons sharpened....but you're right, NT for me as well - and if anyone thinks DC picked that team, they're wrong. He would have no idea the U was a left back in the making. MoM or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't played any better though have we? we've rode our luck massively in those wins. Even vs Exeter we could have been 2-0 down inside 10 minutes and how we got 3 points against Derby i will never know. I'm not saying you specifically, it's not like we've suddenly changed our tactics and are performing better we still are not creating chances. If it's the best we can do then we are simply f*cked and it's all down to one person. Not for one minute having a dig at Thompson because he's been thrown under the bus but we should be looking to appoint a manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please ask yourself honestly, “If NT was caretaker manager at any other club, would you honestly want him to come her as our permanent manager ?

I'm inclined to agree, only for the depressing reason that they know each (chairman), and no matter who comes in they are on a hiding to nothing. Chansiri you absolute pillock!

He has no experience of managing at this level or a relegation battle though. Last time Bullen did the job we had 9 points from 6 games but few wanted him to carry on much longer. Today was good, Wednesday night was awful, Boro was decent, Derby was pretty fortunate. If we are going to give it him then do it now and give him some assurance, having umpteen names linked and dragging it out is not helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Joao's Tooth Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 It's mind blowing how people are saying give it him till the end of the season how is that a positive?? We've got the chance to bring someone in permanently to assess the current squad and sort player contracts out. Or be back to square 1 in the summer of being without a manager and bringing someone in with a handful of players saying "here do you're best with that lot" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
