Lennon sounds like he would like to get sacked, He's under no illusions that he could get fired if a new consortium come in. I don't rate Lennon's signings to be honest, Wilson, Pisano, Twardzick, Wellington, Madine, Dobbie, etc, I know Lennon has had fook all money to spend, but he should have done much better than this lot.

Just a quick question, why should he have done better?

Why sign Pisano and Wilson, 2 right backs that he never plays(both signed 2 year deals) and he has to bring in Vela that was well out of the picture and now he's suddenly our best right back? Heskey shouldn't have been given a 12 month deal and why did Lennon sign Twardzick on a 3 year deal?

well today wasn't the one to get pissed off at at lennon, we played a proper formation, started well and should have been in front. Prince fucked up and heads went down

 

decent effort second half. terrific support and i don't normally care that much about that but was expecting more than 4-5 players to come over at the end. 

 

think we should have had another pen at the end...but ultimately an opportunity wasted today. on it's own today was ok but we have to win somewhere...

Am thinking just 12 months ago the only difference was CYL and C Davies

 

Maybe it was new manager syndrome but he got us playing once

That's the budget he's working with, nothing. wrong with having 2 back up full backs who won't be on big money, Vela was earmarked as centre mid, but he's now proven not good enough there, Heskey on buttons, as will Madine and Shola, have to agree on Twardick (think he was a gamble that's not worked) but you don't get much for the wages he's probably on.

Lennon has fucked about with stupid formations and he can't get the best out of the players

 

Our predicament is far from solely his fault, but to say that Lennon is not contributing is just plain crazy

he has been to blame on a few occasions most noticeably at home Bristol think it was, (tell me a manager who does not make mistakes?)with his team selection, but this set of players keep pressing self destruct, their mentally fragile and they need special help. Oh and a striker /threat up top would help. Edited by Mounts Kipper

They are indeed

 

And they must shoulder much blame as collectively they are not perfeoming as men

 

However, getting them there is a Manager's skill

 

And Lennon current shows little aptitude for it I'm afraid

 

Shame cos I like he bloke

 

You need breaks as a Manager and he's not had/getting any

Your last paragraph sums it up.

It's the managers job to get the best from his players and situation, he's currently not doing so however difficult the circumstances. There's a reason why the likes of big Sam and pulls have never taken teams down yet, they utilise the players they have and organise them properly. Lennons just not doing that.

There is so much wrong with the way we play and I think that's down to coaching. Up till when mjallby left we where actually playing some decent stuff, just lacking a finisher. Since he has gone we have been playing shite. Mjallby is a coach that played at the top level and I think that makes a difference.

Pulis? Spends small fortunes to keep his team's up. Not even comparitable.

yeah not bad, bit of a struggle for him playing down the left sometimes though

Sounds like another square peg scenario. Like Lennon but agree he is not getting best out of what he's got but some of these players are letting us down. Seen highlights and although Ameobi isn't up to much he was unlucky with that header, typical of our luck at moment.

We really looked like a team relegation bound yesterday. Played well first 20, didn't take our chances, made a mistake, conceded a goal, let in another before the break, game over at HT really.

IF we had taken one of those early chances, IF Prince hadn't handed them the first goal we would have the won.

 

Not massive IFs in the scheme of things.
