    Cannot see us getting him now. Promotion and I deffo think he was ours but he is way better than L1 imo.

    Great post mate and can't disagree with any of it. He's massively under the microscope and if he doesn't get off to a flyer next season then it really won't take long for the fans to let him know their thoughts. I obviously hope he succeeds because I want out of this **** league but I have my doubts.

    He played Willis instead who, IMO, before his injury, was as good as Sanderson.

    It's a balancing act isn't it.

    It's not always good to undermine players under contract by immediately replacing them with loan players.

    Loan players are often brought in as cover, not always to take a first team place.

    I remember us doing it previously and some of those wanting Sanderson in this season slating previous regimes for playing loan players ahead of our own!

    Also complaining about him saying he likes 3 at the back and not playing 3 at the back. He started in the job on the Friday morning and had a game Saturday afternoon. Then either 2 games a week or no club time due to COVID. When does he have the time to work properly on his 3 at the back? It takes time to change a system to your own. He has a full pre season now to get the players he needs for his 3 at the back and implement that system.

    If we can bring in a better manager I'm sure the board will consider it.

    He'd have to fit into the existing set up because that won't be changed.

    Personally I'm totally against 'character appointments' like SKP, Keane, whoever ...

    ... we need a long term manager that we stand by, whether that's Johnson or someone else.

    I’m honestly past caring atm, the thought of another season in league one makes me feel physically sick and that’s not my hangover

    But the players let him down. First half they were all over it. Second half they weren’t! 2 golden misses from Wyke. How is that Johnson’s fault?

    we had enough chances of our own on Wednesday to win that game. We won yesterday. Poor finishing cost us more than Johnson did in the semi final.

    What’s the only thing that happened between the first half and the second half with our team, your honest answer.

    Bromide mixed in with the half time drinks perhaps?

    I'd love to know what went on at halftime for such a different performance. I can't see Johnson saying "lads the job's done so just kind of dick about and don't bother trying anymore" but what was said? Were they all playing on pure adrenaline and it collectively drained out of them when the whistle blew?

    Been a problem for ages, totally different performances in each half. Usually it's the first half we're crap in. Something that needs sorting for sure.

    Has that prick gone yet? KLD needs a hard word with himself if he’s not considering peddling this idiot.

    I never realised you were privy to the relationship between owner and manager, besides, whoever is next, no doubt you'll be screaming for his blood after a couple of shaky performances, which leaves me to ponder about who is actually the prick here.

    There is absolutely nothing to suggest he’s the man to take us forward. Isn’t he the numpty that brought Flanagan on for Gooch in the 90th minute 3-2 down whilst we have a perfectly fit Jordan Jones on the bench? The bloke is an idiot and he can **** off as far as I’m concerned. He’ll never have my support. Bristol City fans were right about him.

    Kld has nothing to do with this site. I’ll happily peddle this idiot if you want me to though….

    you’re probably the dickhead stood outside the bars having a go!

    Same Jordan Jones who was utterly gash Wednesday? That one? Who’s been awful for all of this bad run?

    Yes, why not, theres more chance of Jones scoring than Flanagan surely.

    The same Jordan Jones who came closest to scoring out of our whole side. The bloke is clueless and has been found out for what he isz We are better off peddling him now and give a new manager a whole pre season, instead of the inevitable November sacking.
