Wilson Out

[pauld]

It is since yesterday.

That's a very good point. I might have misread your original post which I thought was comparing "He took us to the play-offs last season" with "Not become a bad manager over night". My apologies.

I still don't want to see Wilson sacked. I think he'll come good again. But for the first time ever yesterday I plain couldn't be assed to go. I can see how fans fall out of the habit.

Crawley results come along every now and then. Actually too frequently.

The thing that pi**es me off is the missed oppertunity to kick on from last season, both on and off the pitch (increasing the fan base).

In my mind I know Wilson is a good manager. I know two seasons are rarely the same and I know this is the price we were always likely to pay for getting gubbed by Millwall at Wembley. We will recover.

In my heart I'm wondering will it ever get good for us (promotion to championship) again. Everything seemed right and in place for another good season, but it went so wrong.

Erm, not sure what I'm going on about. But make it stop. Grow some bollocks and win some games.

Thaat is all.

This is the best post this season IMO.

I'll certainly bear that in mind. Not least as an excuse to use myself when I post something which doesn't on the face of it make a whole lot of sense

  FWIW, it was pretty obvious we'd lose once Douglas got sent off....the only surprise being that it wasn't on pens.

 I've said before there's very little between our lot and the likes of Crawley....so a close game was was always likely....playing with 10 men for 75 mins tipped the balance.

 DW now joins the roll call of shame of managers I've seen lose to NL sides....Bert Head, Danny Williams, Lou Macari, Steve McMahon and Maurice Malpas.  However only one chairman has 2 of these on his CV....

 No-one much cares about the FA Cup anymore, as evidenced by a sub 3000K gate...fucking about closing stands and allowing Crawley to wear red.

 I was pleasantly surprised we didn't lose there on live TV....but no longer feel any sense of hurt from such a result....on to Oldham, bit of a graveyard, undefeated at home this season, you'd have to be a loon to expect a win.

There are 5 loons on the prediction league then.

We will win Reg. Write it down

You might as well include it on your sig line now then.

e)  Douglas appears to be struggling (like lots of cricket captains), to be both the talisman of the team and the captain.

I thought Douglas looked very out of sorts last night, Crawley had a man on him all the time and he got increasingly frustrated, he had caught one of their players just before and when he over-ran the ball he flew into the tackle. Either he was getting frustrated and thought I'll nail them or was trying to sort out Crawley and try and impose himself. It was a bit reckless when we were 2-1 up and in 1st half injury time

In a strange way it might do Douglas the world of good. We rushed him back after his broken toe and he picked up a secondary injury with his groin. He didn't look fit against and could hardly move by the end of the game but he has enough about him to sit in there and win tackles. Maybe 2-3 weeks off for him to get the niggling injuries out the way and come back re-charged.

We looked very flat last night and seemed reluctant to try and get the ball down and play, Crawley won all the secondary play but were prepared to go at us. If you compare us when down to 10 men against Plymouth in the home league game then clearly there are some problems. It needs some fresh faces and for Wilson to decide his best team and stick to it.

Dreaded vote of confidence from Fitton?

Should really have read the other thread first....

Danny Wilson is rock solid at STFC. A lot of the problems this season are either bad luck, or due to the sustainable development program of the board.

By that I dont mean to criticise the board at all. But when we say we want to invest in young players, if we go and buy an experienced centre back to replace Greer, then what is the point of investing all that time and effort on a youth set up with the likes of the Sean Morrison's? Its not the policy of the club.

And if we had a manager like Sturrock, who gets his teams to sit on midfields and kill a game then yes we might be 4 or 5 places up the league. But we wouldnt have hit the heights we did last season. You wouldnt have seen that classic PO game against Charlton at the CG, and you wouldnt have seen us put 6 goals past Leeds United. Rough with the smooth, show some loyalty!

Exactly....it's fairly obvious, that Wilson is carrying out the policy of the Board, which means we'll tend to be inconsistent. It could be 10 years before this comes to anything...

Although Sturrock got us promoted I couldn't stand his brand of football - it was so fucking boring and we only just scraped over the finishing line. Under Wilson I've seen the best football since Hoddle was here. Although I'm pretty fed up at the moment I'm still loyal to Wilson. If we could get the defence sorted we could go on a decent run but as it is, its one step forward and one step back. The joys of being a Town fan.

I agree totally Chalkie. And seeing as how we got to the play off final last year, I don't see why it should take another 10 to get there again Reg. I think you're being a bit overly pessimistic there..most unlike you
