Crewe 1-2 Tics (0-1) Jeebsy 5184

on a charge now, just call me Sheffield United.

Can't see why that team would connote playing for a 0-0. Taking out a defensive midfielder in order to facilitate Harkins down the centre and adding an extra wide player could only ever be an attacking change. The only defensive positive is that an out-and-out winger is more likely to track the right-back than Harkins is.

Wouldn't mind seeing us try a 4-1-4-1 to be honest. Oxley Brown Lockwood Grounds Mellor Smith/Wesolowski Winchester Harkins Philliskirk Turner MacDonald

I agree with this in the idea that he's either going to learn or do what Dickov did and just try much of the same. Just hope its the former rather than the latter.

As players tire you can assume so yes.

Baffles me how a squad with a fitness coach could have been more unfit that a squad without one. In the games after Paul Butler's departure on 31st December 2012, we drew one and lost 4 (excluding beating Forest and Liverpool). Annoyingly, we conceded 3 goals in the last 10 minutes of games but only Coventry's last minute goal cost us as the other 2 just extended already existing leads (against Brentford and Walsall). Intriguingly, under Philliskirk, we didn't concede any point dropping goals in the last 10 minutes of games - the only one coming in Sheffield United's 2-0 win. Then, under Lee Johnson for the remainder of the season, we again didn't concede any goals in the last 10 that cost us points - the only one coming in Preston's 2-0 win.

I don't believe you have pal, you are one of the more reputable posters on here. All I'm saying is that there is a likelihood that the connotations of the message could have been miscommunicated in an odd series of chinese whispers. I'm not calling anyone a liar but I'm not ruling out the possibility that the meaning and severity of the message could have been confused. It also seems that some people are just using this as reason to have a pop at an already under fire manager in his first year in the job, doing a better job than others in the league in a very similar season to the ones we've had for the past 5 years.

Firmly in the Johnson IN camp at the moment, I thought I'd take a look at a comparison between the initial seasons of Paul Dickov and Lee Johnson... In Paul Dickov's first season in charge, after 35 games we had won 11, drawn 13 and lost 11. This saw us sitting on 43 points after picking up 17 points in 18 games between New Year and Mid-March. Under Dickov, we had scored 46 goals (including a period of over 9 goal-less hours) and conceded 52 (including 11 in 2 games). We were knocked out in the first round of the FA Cup, League Cup and Football League Trophy under Dickov to Accrington Stanley, Scunthorpe and Shrewsbury respectively. We gained 11 points from losing positions as well as dropping 30 points after taking the lead. We scored 9 goals in the last 10 minutes of games (gaining 6 points from the goals) and conceded 14 (7 of which cost us points). In Lee Johnson's first season, after 35 games we have won 10, drawn 8 and lost 17. This saw us sitting on 38 points after picking up 14 points in 13 games between New Year and Mid-March. Under Johnson, we've scored 40 goals and conceded 51. We were knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rd round, the League Cup in the 1st round and Football League Trophy in the Area Semi-Final to Liverpool, Derby County an Chesterfield respectively. We've gained 12 points from losing positions as well as dropping 16 points after taking the lead. We've scored 5 goals in the last 10 minutes of games (gaining 6 points from the goals) and conceded 9 goals (4 of which have lost us games). Below is a comparison of when, in games, goals were scored and conceded between the two seasons. This shows that we seemed to begin and finish games equally well in terms of scoring, but switched off in the second half. This shows that in terms of scoring, we end both halves well. But we tend to concede towards the end of games again. What do you make of this? Do you think it means anything and has the data been useful?

Jesus, let's all slate the manager for being a bit busy running a football team and saying the ball boys are a bit slow. I highly doubt that he's pointed the ball boys out as the reason we're losing games and it was probably just a side-comment about them being a bit :censored: - which let's be honest, they are.

Surely away fans in the chaddy is the best idea for the majority?

pfft

There's a chance the club might follow you! (And then unfollow you)

25.) There's the off-chance you might meet one of your players on the street, rather than getting lucky at a posh restaurant to meet them.

I haven't seen us win in the league this season, and only seen us win twice overall in the JPT and in the FA Cup.
