Alfred experiment should be done. Just gotten worse since Europe.

Most concerning thing is that our best games under him were his first ones in charge. Think our peak was the second leg against HJK and their best player was a washed Teemu Pukki who can't even last 90 minutes now. If he came straight in and lost 5 games in a row fair enough but we're going backwards the longer he stays, still think this squad is good enough to finish top 6 if we sack him now.

Life after Jens was always going to be tough but Johansson could go down as one of the worst appointments we've ever made. First manager to lose 5 in a row since Baraclough in 2015.

Jens was the one who told the club to hire him. Was his man.

Jens, the chairman and AJ have all said this isn't true

I think that’s some arse covering tbh. He’s been on the radio saying that he wouldn’t play this style but he’s been told to by the club. The philosophy is the clubs philosophy and not his.
So how would that bring the club to him without a recommendation?

u/SM_YK 1d ago
There was a recommendation but it came from the same agency that helped get Jens and before that Wimmer, which was said by the chairman at the start. And both AJ and Jens have said first time they spoke to each other was over the phone when AJ was deciding on joining.

Ah ok. I just found the comments to Jane Lewis a bit weird, considering everyone was told he was the continuity candidate.
He said this isn’t how he’d play so I still don’t really get how he was the recommended man.

Finally our first home league win on the new grass. Played some good stuff at times but defensively still fairly leaky. Glad John-Jules scored, hopefully kick on as he’s not been that great so far this season

After every week of training we look worse on the park. Think the players have chucked it because tactically we were decent for large parts of that game.
The manager can't do anything about players gifting goals to the opposition. Still, I think he only has a few games left to save his job.

A player who was one of the best right backs in the league last season gifted two goals playing out of position at centre back while we had three centre backs on the bench. The manager absolutely can do something about players gifting goals.

Surely he has to go now? a must win game against the bottom team and we just give it away? subs either coming too late or not at all? and keeping odonnell on should be considered a crime in of itself.
we really are going back to a relegation battle now. all the good will is burning out.

Looks like we got what we deserved but what’s the argument for being allowed to kick out at someone and not get a red card. Considering players are getting red for winning the ball due to “force”.
Can’t see Alfred surviving feel a bit for him because it looks like recruitment has been so poor. Poulsen never looked secure Vogt basically looks like he isn’t a player and really miss Slattery in the middle no dig in there at all.

Nice to see someone mention Slattery, I think he was as good as Eli Just last season but because he left on a free he's been forgotten about a bit - compared to the guys we sold for money.

u/smeddum07 23h ago
Totally agree he isn’t as good a player as Just but equally as important to the way we played bought some very good technical players but no one who can scrap in there. Any team would struggle having lost such a good midfield though

The most money we've spent in years over the pre season and we look like relegation candidates.
