Is that why Ralph ended up with Lyanco, Adam Armstrong & Baz in nets. A better manager would have got better than them?

You’re pushing it if you think any replacement will get any say in recruitment. It’ll either be a rushed internal appointment (Selles?), or a protracted negotiation with a Dyche type figure. It would literally mean tearing up our plans and starting again, I just don’t see that happening in 3 weeks or less. Its really hard to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to analysis of Jones’ start. There’s a lot of legitimate concerns but also a pile on with some complete and utter pony written and broadcast. The hatred towards him is ridiculous & in some numpties eyes he can do no right. (Reminds me of Mrs Thatchers quote that some people seeing her walking on the Thames would shout “see, she can’t even swim”). He hasn’t made a great start, but deserves a bit longer imo.

Fucking hell, a couple of you clowns have clearly jumped the shark now….

Forester’s camp.(ohh matron!)

Did he fuck off down the tunnel without acknowledging the fans when Luton lost?

So what your saying is when we play shit it’s jones fault. But when we play better, and win, it’s the players (with the help of the fans geeing them up). The half time turn around isn’t down to the manager, but the players dishing out a bollocking to the manager . No bias there then 😂

That’s a cop out. Define success this season. What does he need to have done by the end of may for you to say he’s done a decent job and deserves another season.

The one that does my head in is “small town in xxxxx” Fucking hell, it’s tedious & totally unfunny.

Define successful.

I think Lyanco deserves a shout out, it can’t be easy and we’ve seen players get worse and worse after making fuck ups (Bednarek for one). I’m not saying he’s a great player or should be starting, but he’s clearly got a pair of bollocks and a good mentality. There’s plenty of other centre halves who wouldn’t have fancied playing full back against Saha after the last couple of performances.

Do you agree with the bit that Lyanco wouldn’t get in the Havant side?

We do that in training every day.

I didn’t mind the jazz hands. It was the jazz hands when we won, but fucking off down the tunnel without acknowledging us when we lost that done my head in. That behaviour showed me exactly what sort of “leader” he was. If jones does the same, I’ll dig him out as well.

If he’d had managed above the non league he would have probably known better. It was spun as the opinion of a “peer” with people on here piling in on the back of it. It wasn’t, it was an emotional fan giving his opinion, some of which looks like it was ill informed. If Solent want a peer to discuss Jones’ shortcomings I suggest they find someone a bit more qualified.

Good to see Jones mentioning aggression time and time again. Fucking needed for a long time.

Sign of a good defence , remaining unbeaten during a barren spell.

And we gifted Forest their winning goal. You’re right , this changes nothing because judgement should be made over a number of games. That number is subject to debate.

We went 42 days unbeaten during that spell.

Fuck me! How old are you, 15?

Fucking hell. How many posters were banging on about 3 at the back even though it clearly wasn’t.

Yes, first one for all of 18 days. Have a day off you drama queen.

We’ll said. If it was a tactic we would do it early, into the channels, then press the opposition in, ala Big Jacks Ireland. There’s no doubt he wants us to get it forward quicker, but that’s different than long ball hoof football. Players lacking confidence, a lack of movement & people not wanting to make a mistake leads to knocking it long. There’s a bit of passing the buck, it takes a brave man to constantly want to play, want the ball, when we’re in the form we’re in and the crowd are edgy.

I doubt many professionals would count that as having “played the game”. Having a lad playing in the Wessex League I’m not going to demean or run down that level as I know the standards and dedication involved. However, if you’re going to go on radio and talk about people never having played the game, talk about professional managers being out of their depth & players that “can’t wait to get off the pitch”, you need to be fire proof. The interview was spun as a peer talking, not a fan. Therefore his average playing and managing career is a legitimate question.
