kowenicki 736 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Honestly, I know we’ve had a merry go round and it’s early days... However, I didn’t want this guy to begin with and it’s pretty obvious he’s clueless. Get rid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I didn’t want this guy to begin with and it’s pretty obvious he’s clueless. Get rid. This is why I'm torn. I've always said managers should be given a chance - and resent the fact that we seem to change ours every three weeks - but I have absolutely no confidence in Kewell's ability. Nothing he's said or done so far has done anything to persuade me he's the right man for the job. At this stage I still think he should be given the opportunity to prove me wrong, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me personally we have to stick with Kewell for a while give him a run in charge, I am struggling to remember to much of him at Crawley but what I remember at County his football was shocking, carried on where he's left off by the looks..

steveecky 26 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I still think it’s more about player recruitment than the managers. A team of big powerful and athletic players with modest technical talents can do decently well in L2 even without a tactically astute manager. The odd midfield player with a bit more to his game can help. What we have at the moment is largely the opposite of what we need outside of the back four, who at least are big ! And the manager definitely fits the ‘not tactically astute’ bit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from the fact that 8 of that 12 that played don't deserve to be paid in crab shit, the game was crying out for something to change. So what did Kewell do? Took a left back off and brought on a ... ...er, left back. And we thought Dave Penney was a "tactical genius". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Naturally 2 games in is too soon, but when? When we've dropped into the Conference or a bit before... ?! How long do you give him? Trouble is, he he talks a good game, but has nothing to back it up with except his achievements on the pitch. But I really hope the players haven't lost respect for him his achievements merit already because that's it. Edited September 20, 2020 by singe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At that stage, it could have been worth risking 3 at the back, bring Blackwood on and drop McAleny in behind? Anything, just something to shake it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally judge him after 10 league games,this will give us a good idea of the direction we are heading under him..End of transfer wonder we will hopefully see 2-3 more players in, im not a big fan of firing of managers but we are at a critical point in our time as a football club plus football today is less about loyalty and more about results Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree,I was completely underwhelmed with his appointment, I think we should have given dino the opportunity to build a side even though I wasn't blown away with him..I reckon 10 games we will know if he's got what it takes to progress us on the pitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
