A chance for the feeling of now to be reflected

P 35 W7 D9 L19 GD-23 PTS 30
Currently 6 points away from safety......is all we need to know. A total and utter shambles Mr Johnson

As I voted in the previous vote in September, get rid. The fact the club doesn’t have a single winger on the books says it all. Clueless on how to get the best out of the players we have. Terrible recruitment, stubborn attitude. Going right back to where it all started!

The manager for next season is not my primary concern it's will we be a full-time or part-time club. If the latter I see little future.

For the first time tonight I’ve said he should go.
We need something to change because with tonight’s results (rivals as much as ours) we are heading for relegation.
Results have shown that we should probably have changed the manager in January.

No doubt Bot has cast its vote in this sham referendum

On the basis of his post match interviews how is it possible that he can communicate clearly to his players and coaches what is expected of them.

Increasingly he sounds like a broken man and without the attitude and mindset to rally the team to deliver the extra 5 - 10% that he says they need.

OUT, should have gone well before Christmas.

No doubt Johnson, Downes and the players will be on a much needed day off today. Then return tomorrow for more cringeworthy Press Calls to pacify the media.
More dribble . Clownes will be organising the defence on how to defend set pieces.
Then we can assess the walking wounded or can some not stomach the fight of a relegation battle ?
Or more the point don’t want to ?
I have never known so many injuries .
Games running out…. Time to stand up and be counted

Get rid of him NOW. He is well past his sell by date, can not afford to sack him ? Then have him selling 50/50 tickets but keep him away from the players.

Amazing that the Keep Him Brigade , have not posted here to the reasons why !
Internet issues again no doubt.
I wish he would do the decent thing and walk away. His presence in the dugout is not achieving anything for a so called experienced manager.
Forget the past, this is now.

Just a thought.......maybe we should judge Johnson after the next 10 games :]

Get rid now. Should have been sacked after the play-off final defeat when we blew the best chance we will probably ever have to get back in the FL.

It is sadly too late in the season to sack him now and will cost the club. I believe he will call it time at the end of the season.

Then the fun starts, will we stay full time. I still believe and have for a few seasons, that if remaining time training should be moved to Bristol to help attract more players.

I don't think he will. He will say I'm the best person to get us straight back up.
He did it last time by taking over a team of good players (Reid, Cameron etc) and getting them to play
attacking football which Owers couldn't do and adding some players like Janneh, would be hell of a lot tougher to do it again from scratch . You would only keep a few of this lot in Nat South and they would probably want to stay at the current level. The best we could hope for next season would be the play offs . It wouldn't surprise me if Johnson was still manager next August.
