LJ Post Match Tweet Comments.

We are now officially in S.h.i.t Street
LJ and his coaches need to focus on shooting and finishing, because we can't

And what the hell is happening to our defence ?

 

Change again for the sake of change.
We set up wrong and Brentford should have been out of sight in 20 minutes.
Anyone surprised ?
Tammy up top alone, is it any wonder he's losing confidence.
And Tomlin on the bench beggars belief.

Junior is no closer than he was in August knowing his best 11.

 

Got to admit that I've been supportive of LJ but I'm sure he watched a different game to the one I just watched.
Sorry Lee but you've got to admit it tonight was awful, and without a couple Fielding and the one Lucic save they could of romped home.

 

Sorry people LJ for me is now very concerning.

He chops and changes his side,does not have a clue what is his best eleven.
LT is better than Bryan and Reid put together.
Tammy missed three sitters tonight,needs a rest.
Engval played right up alongside Tammy and looked a threat,needs to be given a run.
Loud cheers when he came on.
Bryan was sooooo slow,Reid could not score in a brothel.
Sorry LJ but you are concerning me now.
Loose Saturday and the pressure is going to go up a couple of notches.

 

ABSOLUTELY WORDS FROM MY MOUTH

SORRY RP ...

Junior is FURTHER than he was in August knowing his best 11

SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF my MIND KEEPS POPPING UP FROM A BARNSLEY POSTER ..which reflects our present predicament .....................

 

Who is Brown? Have we signed another player?

 

18 shots and no goals says it all. Mumbo jumbo is all well and good and perhaps another 5 or 6 losses will get LJ another contract extension. I wanted so much for this to work but clearly we are barking up yet another wrong tree which is surprising seeing as we don't seem to know which forest we're in. The January transfer window could be a salvation but if we bring in players that are supposed to strengthen our cause and then not play them then our chances of being stronger are non-existent. Lee's appointment never filled me with confidence and the blame does not lie at his feet but further up the food chain.

Two games against teams in the same neighbourhood in the table should be a weather vane for our future, and I regret that if we lose against Preston the messy stuff will really hit the rotating object. It is all starting to sound eerily familiar when I hear of player discontent, dwindling crowds and absolute rubbish coming after each game from the person who's supposed to have all the answers and it makes me shudder and want to say here we go again.

 

Imagine if Abraham put away the easy chances he had. We'd all be saying what a great win it was and how our defence kept them out and our keepers were class. I'm sorry but sometime you simply can't blame the manager. Yes he picks the team, but he picked one last night that was beaten by a deflected goal and players not taking their chances. What more could he have done? Wasn't a great watch admittedly but once they step on the pitch they are responsible for how many points we take. Poor finishing let us down, not LJ.

 

If the slide continues and we are in a relegation fight in the New Year then LJ might find the crowd start to turn against him

No matter who's mate he is, or how long he has on his contract it's only results that matter. I'd say he needs some decent results and quick. We don't want to continually hear the opposition praised, concentrate on what we are/aren't doing which is seeing this slow slide towards a relegation fight.

Last night should have been a golden opportunity to forget the crap which we produced on Saturday and give a rousing performance going into the busy Xmas period, but predictably we blew it.

 

I couldnt make the game last night but from what I have read and seen, it seems we were more unlucky than anything and even their manager admitted that a draw would have been a fairer result-
I agree, a game that could have gone our way, we would be saying exactly this.

I still think LJ should be given more time, but its what has happened in previous games that didn't help last night. We are now in a poor run of form and would be there with Rotherham if it wasn't for the start that we had.

LJ has said before that there are players that aren't up to the mark-Bryan and Smith seem to be there at present. Smith's late season injuries are probably still not seeing him back at his best, but Bryan, I question. I think also the midfield make up of Smith, O'Neill and Pack is too similar and only one should be played at a time.

Hoping for a better result Saturday, we do need it

 

Some of our subs last night were Tomlin, O'Dowda, Brownhill (another Paterson couldn't make the bench) - Junior's signings.
He starts with the likes of Pack, Reid, Freeman and Joe Bryan.

Is he admitting :
A) his signings aren't better than what we had already ?
B) hasn't got a clue how good Tomlin is ?
C) or a bit of both ?

Ps - On last night's brief showing I thought Hogan £750k looked better value than Engvall at £2.5million.
Hope Engvall improves with games, he needs to read up the offside rule first and foremost.

 

I thought the starting line-up was wrong before the game - and after 10 minutes KNEW it was wrong.

Here are some random thoughts:

In terms of midfield - having 2 defensive midfield players has not worked - whatever combination of O'Neill/Smith/Pack are used. We need to get more players ahead of the ball.

Tammy needs a partner up front (would love us to go for Hogan who was impressive). Also at some point he needs a rest (FA Cup week he needs to go on a weeks holiday somewhere)

The long throw - can we dispense with it now - we have not looked like scoring from one.

Keepers - good that Frank made those saves, and I actually think he's ok. HOWEVER, he is very injury prone and maybe it's time to give the young lad some games (though he makes Bravo of Man City look like a long ball merchant!!)

Starting to worry about Joe Bryan's form

 

When I saw the starting line up I thought then .. b********* s@#@* ANOTHER LOSS and I haven't like that for a long time .... we are supposed to have 3 coaches and between them they cant pick a team or a formation with the skill set to win games in LGE 1 ......OOOOOOOOOOOPS sorry we are in the championship !
