    Shouldn’t react so quickly after the game. But that was a ****ing shambles. Been a big fan of LJ but this was his fault and I’m now worried he is not capable of learning from it LJ has to sort out this team rotation bollox Don’t mind a few changes but you need the core of a team to build on and fall back on at times LJ is changing every game without any rhyme or reason and without a solid base to build on. Players haven’t got a chance We should have won that game well but yet again we were wide open We had a great run but he kept pissing about and pissing about until it fell apart Very worrying I’m not seeing any progress. This is a ****e league but yet again we make a poor team look good

    We all know what happens in the play offs. Can't bear to watch and be disappointed again. Definitely not getting any hopes up this time.
    This team has drained me of any enthusiasm :emoticon-0184-tmi:

    Get Younger into a back three and pick a decent four in the middle its been staring us in face for weeks, but this manager and his supporters can't see it, too busy with jargonising about 8's and 10's and 4/2/2/2's etc.

    We need 1 win to confirm Play Offs.

    Time to bring Younger in to centre half with Wright and get an actual right back at right back as well. Whoever he prefers in the middle of the park need to be the ones playing every game from now on as well as left and right wing so they can can get an understanding with the full backs.

    In short, stop ****ing around Johnson and sort your team and tactics out!

    As someone mentioned earlier it harks back to what Bristol fans said about him chopping and changing.
    I posted a while back I was worried he made it too complicated anarl, they're footballers ffs not astro physicists .

    This is the problem.

    This is a pathetically easy team to play against. Even at 2-0 down their manager knew all he had to do was get the ball forward quick and regularly and the chances would come. After a bright five minutes in the second half we were utterly useless. No leadership on the pitch and none off it. The usual subs on at 72.3 mins or whenever when the game had gone from us twenty minutes earlier.

    Got forbid that rabble ever gets promoted, they would be massacred every week.

    The club is dead. I can’t see light at end of the tunnel. I honestly think we won’t ever play second tier let alone top tier football ever again. I worry what the future holds, and wouldn’t rule out relegation to league 2 next season.

    Correct. That team thought they had it won, and when the wind changed, neither they nor the manager had a clue how to react.

    Remember how pissed off we all were with Parkinson's predictable post match analysis?
    Substitute Parkinson for Johnson..

    We need wins to breed confidence going into the play-offs mate. This was a fantastic opportunity to get one, and we cocked it up. No wins in 6 games is a big worry and it has to stop and quickly. 3 draws and 76 points might be enough to secure a play-off spot, but by no means certain, so we need to get a win from somewhere.

    According to LJ, Sanderson was struggling with his back during the last 2 games he played, and it's no co-incidence imo that this has led to us leaking goals for fun. We were conceding sloppy goals when Wright was in the team before he got injured. He's not the safe bet that his manager and a few on here think he is. Sanderson's injury has really cost us imo.

    We need to try something, assuming of course we make the play offs. Must work back to clean sheets.

    Our attack will usually get a goal or two...so a clean sheet will win us the game.

    Today defence was dreadful and Burge made a couple of good saves.

    Even if we end up in the conference I will still be a supporter. It’s bad though and I honestly can’t see any Hope going forward.

    Bailey Wright is awful. Absolutely awful. I’m not sure how we do it tbh, the Sunderland curse. Is Josh Scowen the same lad who has played over 80 games in the championship? I think we just have signed the wrong player ...

    Tactics, formations or whatever...when players make basic schoolboy errors I'm not blaming the manager.
    It's a game of fine margins and when the pressure has been on they've not been up to it.
