Cisse Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 We need a goal scorer more than yet another manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The vote of confidence. He'll still be gone soon if we don't pick up some points quickly. Obviously there's a sense of realism around the club - Mel is not expecting top 2 by next week, but we also won't put up with bottom 2 for long.

Coneheadjohn Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It’s a 3 year plan for me so stick with it. Got no problem with anyone who is against him though,it’s a free world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 He has to and will go this season if the football is boring. We can not afford to lose 5000+ fans. People will need a reason to return to matches next season. Many won't bother if we are boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think I’ve seen one person say Cocu out? Not sure where this myth that there’s a group of fans baying for blood is coming from. Maybe on Twitter, but no one on there is sane enough to be worth paying attention to. There’s been criticism of Cocu, but very little call for immediate change. That criticism is justified imo. Things need to improve, simple as. You can have all the “long term planning” that you want, but if you don’t deliver some semblance of short term results in the mean time, then what’s the point? No one is expecting miracles, hell, I’m not even expecting top 6 this season. I’m just expecting better results and performances than we’ve seen so far. And most importantly, I’m expecting some progress in fixing our weaknesses. The second half yesterday was much better overall, but our defensive frailties are still there. I want to see much more progress in the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally not true boring and winning and the ground is full football fans may say they want entertaining football what they really mean is we want to win and entertainment comes second.

With no crowd to be booing that sort of pressure is gone but there must be a concern brewing with Mel? I think we desperately need a win against Blackburn.

You think everyone will return next season after not being allowed to go this season or skipping this season, even if the football is boring? I've spoken to a few season ticket holders who aren't bothering this season and have said exactly this. People who have had a season ticket 10/15/20 years. These kind of fans are hard to replace. The ground is always quite full up because they've paid their money upfront for the season. We are talking about a completely different set of dynamics now. They need a good reason to return. I worry what the club's strategy is. They can't be complacent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible that the wendies could catch us by the end of October 3 of these games now being on Sky doesn't help. It's more fuel to the fire if we struggle to get points and or play well. We've probably got to beat Blackburn and Huddersfield and put on a good show against Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on how you define boring and what results are achieved. It may not be quite what any of us want but, if even if we played pretty drab football, only managed to finish in the top half and not seriously threaten a play off challenge I doubt very much if he would be sacked or we’d lose 5000+ fans.

Tyler Durden Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Playing boring football and not winning games is a pretty toxic mix for any football manager. Would like to believe that Cocu is astute enough to recognise this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
