Interesting one, Norwich are 5th, but a long way off the top two.
Made me think of this from yesterday's matchday thread...
I was thinking the same, also the similar applies to Peterborough in L1 who were 3rd (now 8th) at the start of the shit run without a win in the last 6 games whos manager McCann is walking the tightrope. |

Present league position shouldn’t be an indicator of imminent change of manager. Overall, this season has been a huge bore fest. It’s got to the stage now where I dread Lindsey actually getting us up and having to put up with another season of the crap served up on the pitch.
Surely nobody - fans, management, owner - can be happy with the ‘style’ of football.
‘Let me entertain you’ it’s not.

It's certainly not the fast exciting football we were promised.

People will turn up to watch a winning team (I’m aware we aren’t one of those either) Don’t get this notion of going to football to be ‘entertained’ we aren’t neutrals from Singapore or something. Nothing is better than winning. I’d rather watch a winning team than an entertaining team. |

Weirdly there were a couple of asian lads full on instagraming the ground on their way out before Walsalls winner went in. Can't imagine they were thrilled with their decision. |

Winning games of football is all that it’s about, it’s a bonus to have a team that’s entertaining as well. |

All well and good if you want to tread water in L2 with players and a coaching staff not capable of getting out of that league. |

I don't get it though.
Nobody's going to sign any of our players based on successful pass percentages.
They're going to sign them on output. Goals, Assists, Chances created.
If the season ended today at the half way point, the only clubs higher up the chain who might consider spending money on one of our players would be on Wakeling. And even that is a push now given he's been fairly average since signing his new contract.
So if we aren't getting promoted, and we also aren't putting anybody in the shop window, that's a 0/2 missions completed and doesn't bode well for the management team.

Yep, entertainment is a bonus. The aim of competitive sport is to win first and foremost |

If that's what he actually said, then I don't want that person running the football side of my club ! What a clown ! A winning side and success on the pitch is all the fans want - and if you achieve that then it's likely your players have performed reasonably well and are more likely to be coveted by other teams ! Thinking the selling of 'assets' is more important than results or entertaining is ridiculous, and could become a cancer spreading through the club if that idea is adopted by others within the setup !  |

Surely he didn’t say that? If he did, then the man is in the wrong job.

Remember the outrage when Evans was linked with the job, he probably would have got us promoted but not playing the Swindon way!

According to someone on Twitter "Yep, I paid to hear him say it in the data-driven episode of the documentary series." |
