LJ and his waffle, this comment made me smile... 'LJ: "Every manager who is successful has spells like this. It's how you deal with it. It's a steep learning curve, of course."
The nature of these tweets would suggest to me that he hasn't gone yet- He is a lucky man I think and needs to turn things round quickly of course .I dont think tomorrow will have any bearing one way or another. We will likely go out in the next round anyway. The Forest game is much more significant. I have a could of friends that are Forest. They dont see much chance of our losing run continuing. They have take 2 points from 24.. Us 3 from 33. One each with a 0-0 draw then?
I don't remember many managers losing 11 out of 12 league games (or whatever our pathetic record is) and still being in a job for the foreseeable future. Even if we should scrape a win at Forest that isn't turning the proverbial corner.
If LJ is spending all his time online tweeting (like us on here commenting) then he obviously doesn't get the seriousness of the situation!!!!
Gotta say watching his interviews on the TV tonight he looks a dead man walking. I'm pretty good on body language and he looks shot with no confidence.
I looked at his reaction to Cardiffs 3rd goal. He did look list of ideas. Throwing Tomlin on with 3 minutes left smacked of desperation
