Hmmmmm

Thank goodness, not convincing, but off the mark for wins. Something to build on.

Let's hope we can hang on this time!

It was, let's hope history repeats itself.

It is just so difficult to understand that, for the second season in a row, Johnson has got his recruitment so wrong. He had an entire pre-season to get things in order and yet we still end up with an unbalanced squad, apparently not fit for this league. He is already questioning whether some of the players are good enough, how about looking at yourself Gary and asking yourself the same question. Just how much are the club paying him and Downes to produce this continuing shambles - nothing appears to have improved from the shit show of last season.

1-1

Johnson was out of ideas for most of last season, and this season is more of the same, sadly. We have decent players in Collins, Stobbs, Jarvis, Ash and potentially De Silva....all attack minded players. Meanwhile a porous defence is criminally exposed by a midfield devoid of pace. Much as I love Hall, his legs have gone and should have been released, ditto Moxey. Lapslie will probably not give you a run of games and the bench, like most of last season, has been completely lacking any potential game changers. We are being outplayed and out thought by part time opposition and Johnson is already questioning whether some of the players are up to it..after two games, who the hell signed them?!
Johnson's first season with us was great, his second, probably should have gone up. Since then he has taken the team further and further down. He should have gone last season, at no other club would he still be here. He has to go, fresh ideas and impetus are required and quick.. His post match interview yesterday was more uninspiring stuff. We all agreed it was not good enough. No shit.

Let’s judge him after 10 games please.

Most amusing.

A truely dreadful afternoon, looking forward to hear Johnson try and justify this shit. Can somebody at the club please take action and get rid of him now. This is just a continuation of the crap served up last season.

Johnson, please leave now.

2-1 United

To be fair that was more about poor game management than lack of fitness. Either way it's not good!!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Omar still develop into a decent player if he gets better coaching than was offered by Johnson and Downes.
