SavageTheBeast Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 By the same token we are 3 points from the heady heights of 12th or even Joint 9th on goal difference... Very true but can't see us winning probably two more draws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 But we were in and around the play offs always being that win away from it. Look at us now 3 points off our usual position of 16th. And if the run under Johnson had continued as it was going (nothing to suggest it wouldn't ) then we would be about where we are now in the table.

IceStationLatic Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Apologies I may have jumped the gun slightly. Holden not set in stone yet. Still murmurings about Dowie not being totally out of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Again, it was 16 points in the previous 13 and an FA Cup defeat, all with a pretty settled team, nobody was calling Johnson out for that run But that wasn't Johnson's entire record. Holden's 13 in 13 is all we have to go on. Irrespective of injuries, it's relegation form and, for me, such form over nigh on a third of a season doesn't justify being given a go on a permanent basis.

cornishblue Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 One thing for sure is that the silence coming from the directors and chairman is deafening!!!! Would it be to wrong for them to come out once a week, with an update instead of all this guesswork from the fans and media. They don't have to mention any names, just that interviews are taking place talks are on going etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Dowie will end in tears. He's the right sort of appointment for the club at the moment but I think it'll be over quite quickly in his case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have said it before and i will say it again....Holden will do OK and probably keep us just above relegation through heart and desire To really challenge in this league on the budget we have takes more brains than that and without being too disrespectful to Holden he just wont be able to deliver the expectations we have year after year...(In truth maybe no one can on our budget). However i think the outcome is very clear on what we would get from Holden the right attitude and desire but with little end product. If Corney aspires to a safe bet of avoiding relegation then maybe he will plump for Holden...If Corney aspires to genuinely top 10 then i think he needs to recruit someone else who will cost a few more bob.,..

BP1960 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 What has he done that is so bad? For me if he plays the same negative line up against Peterborough win draw or lose and gets the job then I wont be renewing my season ticket. Before anyone has a go thats my prerogative based on how I see his thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess partly as SC is away so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree here.......whilst i love the club i want to be entertained and I want to see us go out and have a go at the opposition win, lose or draw. let teams worry bout us rather than play to blunt their strengths. Im going to the new stand corporate meeting in the hope that i can fit something into my marketing / entertainment budget so my ST is hopefully going to bit more expensive next year.........i live in hope!!!

jburbri Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 We will probably find out after the season as finished considering he said Holden got the job till end of season. No reason to name the new man yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ritchie Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 But wasn't he rubbish as Halifax manager? Is it acceptable to appoint someone who was sacked by Conference side Halifax in the same way it's unacceptable to appoint a manager sacked by L2 Cheltenham..? Leeds have been :censored: this year. Off the field problems of course but I don't think he has done too well. I reckon he could do a job for us though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 It might make sense to somebody to wait until Peterborough to announce the new Manager as that would, if the name is good, help to firm up season ticket sales. I suspect however that we will have to wait until end of May particularly if the name is not what we want to hear. To appoint anyone other than Holden that late would put us at a disadvantage of yet another manager who can't have assessed the players we have and know what to get rid of and what to keep.

beag_teeets Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think people are over thinking this by some way. A manager is a manager is a manager, in the scheme of things they matter little at this level, look at the teams at the top of this league, the top have money then the rest are much of a muchness with a defensive lapse or striker on form on the day between them. Latics are not that far away from a side capable of getting promoted next season, sure it wouldn't be pretty but pretty is over-rated. I'd have functional, workmanlike and effective any day of the week and turn a 0-0 into a 1-0, a 1-1 into a 2-1 or a 1-2 into a 2-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
