I’m also a realist that wasn’t expecting a lead professional development coach to suddenly provide an upturn in results and turn our, bottom 6 at best, first team squad into 1970 Brazil.

Neil Thompson isn't experienced or capable enough to manage Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship He shouldn't be in the job Once those two points are acknowledged it's impossible to then start kicking him for any tactics, decisions, substitutions etc It's like kicking a 17 year old on their first driving lesson because they can't parallel park 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The way he snapped back in answer to that first question spoke volumes. He’s thinking the exact same as the fans are about this set of ‘players’. Regardless of how well prepared they are etc. the results ultimately come down to whether they can be bothered or not. It’s been clear for 2 years they really couldn’t give two sh*ts about how results affect this football club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 If it wasn’t for the fact he’s been at the club for years & settled in the area I think he’d walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you’d look at it and think ‘Why should I walk away from the job I had’ too. As has been said many times in the last few weeks he’s in a position he didn’t ask to be in. Why should he turn his back on his actual job because the first team are a bunch of wasters. It’s letting them win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbleowl Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I guess the" give him the job until the end of the season" posters are feeling quite foolish tonight? But saying that i don't blame him for today or the previous shocking performances we all know who's the real culprit, this is what you get when you expect a boy to do a man's job, he should be saying to Thompson thanks and go back to reserve football and then go and see if Ian Holloway would take it until the end of the season as a last throw of the dice( but he wont) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple and easy to see decisions. And they weren't made. Noone is being " kicked " as you like to say. Just a honest remark re the substitutions that were baffling. Again, there may be deeper reason for this... People should stop making out he's a bloke off the street who has never seen a football match in his life.

Elvin Parsnip Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) The image that stuck in my mind was Weaver and Bullen sat back with arms folded shortly to be joined by Thomson doing the same when we are collapsing - I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’d ring Megson sharpish because he’s the only manager out their who might get this lot motivated and organised just through screaming at them all match Edited February 27, 2021 by Elvin Parsnip 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pussface Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 He's clearly not up to the job, but stepped up as there wasn't another option. That's ok because the players aren't up to the job either, but the chairman takes incompetence to a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
