Ivorguy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 If LJ goes then we again, for the umpteenth time, go into a totally amateur appointment process led by the constantly failing SL and a Board of nonentities I am so sad that my club is so poorly managed at all levels 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see know point in a change of management to be honest. Start of the season we looked good, past 8 weeks we have been hit and miss, with more misses than hits in more ways than one. A few additions and lets see what happens! COYR I really don't think that at this level, Lee has the ability to get the best out of players and also work out a shape that is appropriate against different teams. He would be better off in a lower division.......the championship is a massive leap up from div 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 In one of those runs where it is difficult to see where the next point is coming from.

samo II Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Well... shit. Glad I can drink tonight. I said before I felt we needed to get a minimum of two points from tonight and Monday to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap; have to do it the hard way now by beating Reading. Five losses in a row is never good, regardless of circumstance, and if we can't get anything off teams directly next to us in the table a la Wolves and Ipswich, then you have to wonder where our nex points are coming from...
