Londonboy Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Starting this topic as we are 1-0 down at home to Blackpool with Wellens seemingly clueless May be irrelevant if we turn it around but my view is we need a manager with experience or we will be relegated. Still 7 games left after today and we have a squad capable of scraping together enough points to stay up... Mainly due to some really poor teams in and around us but that's OK. Sack Wellens now and appoint someone like Graham Alexander short term to try and at least organise us and get the most out of what we have. It's pretty clear Wellens just can't do this and is out of his depth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Much needed 3 points but still not out of the mire and Wellens team selection and tactics questionable. Had no option to bring on Byrne and he changed the game as we know. Benyu just tweeted the club asking Wellens to stop ignoring his calls and texts...says it all about his man management abilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says plenty about Benyu I think; you don't go public. How about the old fashioned way of knocking in his door? Can't have ignored him that much; he was on the bench vs Wigan wasn't he?

It’s obvs a fake account. You say he had no option to bring Byrne on, I’d say it was the plan to bring him to see if he would make an impact from the bench, and hey ho, it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying that the opportunity to change the manager has passed if that was the direction we wanted to go. FWIW I’d keep Wellens even if we do go down.

Do you not think if he wanted to freeze Byrne out he’d have dropped him from the squad? He’s probably thought that Byrne’s been off form, give Paddy Mac a chance and bring Byrne on if required and hopefully get a reaction from him? That’s how it reads to me. I could be wrong.

You are beginning to sound a bit silly here Some reasonable points made so let's wait and see what Wellens does at Oxford next Sat. Needs more than a 30 min JB cameo to convince me Wellens is the man to keep us up. I hope I'm wrong... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may have been thinking that but many others were not (I include myself in the latter group). The point I was making is that half time in a game is not the time to come out with rash knee-jerk statements such as: ‘We need a manager with experience or we will be relegated’ and ‘It’s pretty clear that Wellens can’t do this and is clearly out of his depth’ - strong comments that will look a tad foolish if we do indeed stay up. I wonder if, with hindsight obviously, Londonboy thinks his words were a little premature? ? Edited April 3, 2018 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 We should stick with Wellens if he keeps us up, and try and build something with him. Doyle, Byrne and Bryan enjoy playing for him and are willing to stay. He wants us to play passing football and with a new pitch over the summer and time to build a squad we could get somewhere with him. Also in January we attempted to sign matt mills and devante Cole which shows potentially that we are able to sign better calibre of player now. Stick with him instead of changing things.
