He’s a fantastic player who has been given a manager job as it was the easiest/cheapest option.

Until this club actually hires a manager we will be going nowhere.

I’d hate to be calling for his head, but the club have to take some blame for taking the cheap/easy option. I was hoping that Jobi would be in place while we looked for a manager but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Early days yet, but that was a sobering result.

I won’t blame Jobi when this goes t*ts up.

We should have hired a proper manager back in July 2019. It’ll soon be two years since Justin’s passing and we’ve still not hired a proper manager to replace him.

If you thought after our poor run he would come in and wave a magic wand and put everything right inside of a week and two games then you are mistaken. He has had 2 proper training sessions I’d imagine in that time, confidence is very low and belief has been eroded in both individuals and the team. It is also clear he wants to change the way we play and this takes time.

So give the man sometime to implement what he wants, what he demands and see where it takes us. To keep on saying it’s because they won’t employ an experienced manager is not going to cut it when this appointment has been made.

So you can judge a manager in 4 games? IMBECILE!

''Rome was not built in a day''
Jobi is new to this job and he needs time to implement his ideas, training methods, tactics etc. Lets see where we are after something like his first 8 games in charge then a clearer picture may be starting to emerge. He has not inherited a particularly brilliant squad of players, so tactics have to be worked out and evolved to try to achieve better performances using the players that he has at his disposal.

Sid, I would go further and say McAnuff should be given his chance until the end of the season. That should be a reasonable time to see if an improvement can be achieved.
I think the concern is that based upon recent experience with RE the Board seems to 1:- allow “ interim” to become extended and then “ permanent” when results on the pitch don’t warrant it
2:- have a bit of a blind spot in respect of in house appointments and has an over sentimental approach to addressing underperformance
