He’s not under immediate pressure, but if he loses with Crellin playing on Tuesday, his position is untenable??? I would say so, yes - can you imagine the fallout if we lose to a team that hasnt won yet, at home, with today's defensive line up? It would be very difficult to say we've got a manager that learns from his mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted October 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 I’ve no idea what our training team are doing but assuming Gilks is coaching Crellin during coaching time, I’d be working him like a dog once the players have gone home to try and ready him ‘Just in case’. i reckon Crellin needs time out - even if it’s only the cup tie next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 14 minutes ago, Johnnyrotten said: Its not so much about having poor players, its about making the most of what players he's got. That's where he's falling short at the moment. He signed some poor players (and some good ones) and some of the poor players replaced some of the better players, although he's started to realise his mistakes in some cases. Despite today, I do think he's getting there slowly, but that's not going to happen until he sorts out the defensive/keeper issues. He’s also lost politic, Jones, Doyle, Delf, isgrove and Miller, you have to take that into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football he’s coached is there to seen, he has some poor players but you can’t polish a turd especially not in that space of time My PE teacher Steve Walsh (also did a turn in the Geography department) went on to be a scout for Chelsea, Newcastle before moving to Leicester where he was head of recruitment bringing in Mahrez, Vardy, Kante etc on their way from League 1 to winning the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s not pressure I don’t know what is 😂 FWIW I think most of the pressure IE will be under, will be from himself, he doesn’t strike me as a man who handles losing too well.

Definitely. Although presumably the Jones/Isgrove injuries are what prompted the signing of Kioso, which has turned into a positive, and he's also got his signing Hickman that he's choosing not to use. So numbers wise he's still got enough cover, apart from up front and I've got every sympathy with the striker situation, its unlucky and we need 1 of them back on Tuesday.

I'm unsure how you got to that conclusion Desperado. I said I agreed he wasn't under immediate pressure post-Barrow. Since then we've lost 4-0 and slipped to 19th and we're in the middle of Crellin-gate. So not under pressure before, under pressure now (in my opinion). Where's the contradiction? I will say my use of the word "untenable" was a bit extreme, in the cold light of day I'd just say questions will be asked if Crellin plays on Tuesday and we lose. Hopefully that's not the case.

We must have a different interpretation on what immediate pressure, in relation to his job tenure, is then. If he wasn’t under immediate pressure after Barrow, 2 positive results after that game, if anything should have relieved the pressure. I think we can both agree that a 4-0 defeat has ramped the pressure up in terms of expectation as to what happens next and what his plan is for player selection/tactics and consequently the result on Tuesday. But if you’re conceding that this wasn’t in relation to his job being untenable with a defeat on Tuesday, then I think we’re aligned again 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
