A manager who plays a back 3, with a left winger and a right back in those positions when there’s a championship CB available may not be the man we want to build a team long term, plus the poor performances and collapses don’t help either If Johnson was dropped yesterday and Storey brought it and we lost the game, people would be moaning at Moore for changing a winning team. Can’t win really. I wouldn’t have dropped Johnson who I thought had a really good game against Plymouth. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jockstrap Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not a fan of sacking managers, however when it’s not working and it’s clearly not then get rid. Houghton, who I think is a decent manager went to Forest, it wasn’t working so they got rid. Some managers simply don’t work out, Moore looks like one of them. Team we have, budget we are spending, place in league, standard of football = not working out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evaowl Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think, by default, DM will be the one we stick with as DC probably doesn’t have the money to sack him and a bunch of coaching staff, and there are no obvious replacements who’d want to come here.

It's a big ask throwing a CB into the starting line up a couple of days after he's arrived. You really need a bit of bedding in, in that position. As you say, if he played and made a couple of mistakes Moore would have got pelters for starting him before he was ready. He will play next game I'm sure of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody always mentions Fergie in 1990 as if that somehow justifies giving every awful manager more time, but they can never give any other examples. We are 3 points off the playoffs if we win our game in hand. We may be underperfoming but I'd hardly say he's out of his depth. We are probably about 4 or 5 points behind where I thought we might be at this stage of the season. Not ideal perhaps but also not evidence that he's an awful manager. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fans opinion on the managerial decision to swap out Johnson for a CB isn’t important The fan isn’t paid to get results We need to play our best 11, and Marvin Johnson at CB doesn’t even come close 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got more points than Rotherham and Wycombe last season, they have the same sides as then and we strengthened in the summer as we released only dead wood and signed 16 new players, yet we find ourselves 13 and 12 points behind them respectively.

Jack of Clubs Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Tough one right now and any manager of Sheffield Wednesday under Chansiri since Carvalhal has not been able to spend and some have been under heavier restrictions. Even clubs who are able to spend often have managers who really have to have at least 3 transfer windows to create a squad of their liking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the definition of underachieving As I said in my previous post I expected us to have 4 or 5 more points by this stage of the season. Taking into account our game in hand that would see us in the top 6. So to answer your question- yes I thought we would be top 6 and I do think we are slightly underachieving.

Can’t win really. I wouldn’t have dropped Johnson who I thought had a really good game against Plymouth. To be fair, it wasn’t the starting line up that cost us the game. The team that won and played well last week deserved another go. That’s how you get consistency. We started well, took the lead and we’re the better team in the 1st half. Problem was, Robinson reacted and changed things, then Moore would / could not. That was the time to shore up the defence. When he eventually had to do something he brought on Brown. Most fans could see what to do but the well paid, qualified, professional football manager could not. It happens with frightening regularity. Herein lies the problem. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Yes i agree the back 3 doesn't work, but we have to take into account up until the recent CB signing we didn't have enough players. Going back to a 4 with the current players may see Hunt, Hutch , Storey, Palmer But we still need a big CH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
