Post by Lifelongfan »

Hoping we turn around our form & get some positive results. Sure next season will be an improvement if we stick with KJ & JG

If they're still at the helm next season I'm not renewing my Season ticket.

In the first few games of he season you can see them triggering a press - but I can't recollect seeing it for a fair while now.

Agree. Bizarre really. Watched the qpr game on tv and we pressed all game, creating chances from that. And then it stopped. Either the players couldn’t keep up or Kenny had a change of heart…

If I were to guess, Pratley was KJ's intelligence behind this and he was the first to run out of gas. After that it fell apart.

Vast majority of our goals came from Theo or James' delivery or pressing at the top end of the pitch forcing mistakes. Wasn't pretty, but effective at this level.

Maybe, but I'm finding it very hard to take in that a manager with his experience has not been able to halt this dreadful run. I mean, one goal in eight games! I'm with him though, when he talks about our injuries and how that has upset the balance of the team. I would also say in KJ's favour that things haven't been running too kindly for us on the pitch, and I'm sure they'll be some form of upturn soon. But overall I am very disappointed in how we can now be so ineffective compared to the earlier part of the season. From our supporters sitting on cloud nine to one now of utter dejection - it's all quite baffling...

I am 100% behind Kenny. The injuries and illness that the team has had, has been unbelievable. No team with that amount of injuries & illness could have competed.
When all this gets better, the results will get back to how they were before this nightmare

This is exactly how we started the season with the front 3 pushing hard.

It stopped with Smith, I’d say.

There were signs of it back again last night with Drinnan and Nouble doing it.

Only Walsall have a worse record than us over the last 5 games. Now that Scunthorpe and Oldham have started winning, we need to be looking over our shoulders. Currently just 8 points off the drop zone. A lot of our injuries are long term so things aren't going to improve in the short term.

Kenny said Smith was ill , I think Archibald is also injured, I'd throw the young boy Fish in at the deep end , can't be any worse than we are doing at the moment.

Sonny Pike was all the rage as a top prospect in the 90s. Sonny Fish must just be the modern equivalent.

We cant keep sacking managers.

We have nothing to lose this season so may as well stick with him.

I will change my mind if we get within 5 points of the trapdoor though.

It took Nigel Clough about a year to get things right at Mansfield Town, and I am sure KJ will be successful with us next season.

Whether he'll be with us next season remains to be seen, regardless of the current situation always got the impression he was a one season appointment, all feels very temporary somehow
