Lee On Solent Saint

I think he is a good leader for the dressing room, not necessarily a good leader on the pitch though. I think there is a difference.

I wouldn't be adverse to starting Cabellero. Can't believe that I'm actually saying that, just demonstrates what a fuck up this season has become.

If that was the case, then surely Semmens should have been sacked? For me, he just epitomises what is wrong with the club at the moment.

I don't think Jones is anything other than a SR yes man. Nothing has changed in terms of tactics, may have just as well kept Ralph.

Fully understand what you are saying, although I don't think we necessarily need to go down the Watford route to admit that we made a mistake. I didn't go yesterday, but went to the Lincoln game, and I did not expect us to struggle so much against a League 1 side. I expected to see new ideas implemented, all we got was the same struggles and poor performing players. I know the limits of the squad dictates what he can work with, but when you employ three centre-backs at home to a League 1 side, then if that doesn't start alarm bells ringing, nothing will. There is still time to save this shitshow of a season with a transfer window and the amount of games to come, we needed an experienced top level manager, someone who can walk in and command respect and someone the players would listen to. Am not sure Jones is that guy.

What role does he play for Norway? Appreiciate they are a national team and have better players, but would be interesting to know. He seems to be a regular starter for them.

I get what you are saying, but I just don't think he has the ability to turn it around. I didn't go yesterday, but did go to the Lincoln game and that was awful against a League 1 team. I can only see this ending in relegation. I know the squad lacks any real quality, but I believe a manager like Benetiz would have enough about them to make sure we stayed up. At the very least we would have a game plan and some organisation.

Maybe if Chelsea don't pick up in the next few games, Potter will be available!

JWP says this shit after every fuckin defeat

I agree the squad could be that bad because of Ralph. If that was the case, SR needed to get in an experienced manager, who had top level experience in management. Having said that, if you go into that realm then you are looking at the likes of Dyche and Benentiz. But maybe on a short term deal it would have been a sensible move

You seem to know a few things around the club. Genuine question, but what was the thinking in getting Jones on? It just seems like the 90's all over again at the club, hire from the lower leagues in the hope of getting it right

But does he really inspire any confidence that he can keep this clusterfuck of a team up though? We have had a break of well over a month now, and nothing has changed. Same shit just a different opponent. We aren't going to be able to attract the kind of player we need to stay up in January.

What sort of style does he want? Why take the fuckin job if you haven't got the tools to do it?

Looking forward to yet another inspirational player interview saying we know that we need to do better and cannot wait for the next game to put everything right.

Probably realised what a shitshow this season was going to be and wanted to get out

I fear that they won't sack him this season. To do that would be a submission of failure on their part. He's obviously here for the long term, no matter what division we find ourselves in.

Looks like it's going to be bottom of the league going into the new year

Not really. Just reality.

You could say Jones has lost the dressing room already. But having said that, not sure he even had the dressing room in the first place.

Yep. Exactly.

Couldn't give a shit if he is a Christian, Morman or a fuckin Mooney he was the wrong appointment.

You obviously didn't go to the Lincoln game for a start

Not take the fuckin job for a start

Trouble is though, the football we are playing is the same or even worse than when Ralph was here. Little point in changing the manager if you are only going to bring in someone worse. Jones is way out of his depth already. Anyone who think differently is quite frankly deluded.

So is that both Lavia and Bella Kotchap leaving in January?!
