Steve_R Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Maybe the fans were wrong to get him to change formation, but any good manager who believes in themselves wouldn't change formation based on fans complaining. If he did change it based on fans complaining then he isn't strong enough to be a football manager. If the players on the other hand were asking about the formation then its a bit different. Mentioned it on a thread when he was sacked the other week, apparently he fell out with Corney before start of the season when he wanted to bring his mate in to do TP's job and Corney told him where to go. Also not the sharpest tool in the box supposedly... He could have just said he 'didn't give a monkeys' what the fans think. I'm sure that would have gone down well.

yarddog73 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I still think his team selection against Peterborough was a :censored: you to the board, we were told by a reporter at the ground he was gone that day whatever the outcome.

RobOAFC Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 He could have just said he 'didn't give a monkeys' what the fans think. I'm sure that would have gone down well. I'd guess most managers think that when getting stick from fans, they just don't say it in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 He could have just said he 'didn't give a monkeys' what the fans think. I'm sure that would have gone down well. Might aswell have done with the :censored:e he came out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 One thing the team have had in recent times is good support Do you mean good as in well attended or good as in those who have attended have been very supportive, or maybe something else - like support from the Chairman?

I meant it in the sense that those who attend games offer plenty of support and encouragement, even during Kellys reign the support he and his team got was generally positive, it got a little toxic late in the game against Posh granted.

He was getting nonsense like "go back to managing 9-yr olds" shouted at him from the main stand during the Shrewsbury game - that was 3 games into the season.

boundaryblue80 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Was that from Owen or Corney then? Can't imagine it was from either of them...however after one game Owen was stood at the top of the stairs/tunnel laughing and joking about Kelly after one of the early home games.

boundaryblue80 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 By one or two people out of a few thousand? Several were at it shouting stuff. After barely a handful of games. Let's not pretend that's all that happened tho...I've never known us to play a Yorkshire team and only sing the "I'm a bastard" song once (in the 87th minute.) That Bradford game fans were just waiting (some hoping) for it to go wrong...at that point we were unbeaten in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 From the OAFC site..... The gaffer stated in his post match interview on Saturday that he aimed to bring more players into the football club and he managed that with the signing of Michael Higdon. However, he still has his sights on more incomings and potential outgoings: We need to shuffle a few things, Dunn admitted. I want a couple more players, Im not going to lie. We are one or two away from being really competitive and if we can do that then we will be there or there abouts at the end of the season. Doesn't sound like the actions of an 'interim' manager to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
