We can't blame the manager but can blame Sandro.

Not good, but you're not going to write off a manager on the basis of a couple of games with a braindead sending off and a weakened squad. We were desperately short of a CB and a defensive mid today. Khan will help but we're that short of cover we might need to sign a free agent CB at the least.
And Khan is hit and miss - the fact we suddenly "need" him is a big worry.

There is nothing on his CV that makes me understand how is is in the position he is in. I am not even sure how he'd get an interview if it came across the CEO's desk in an application process. I have no idea what he is like as a person, it just looks very very odd to me.
Same as Robert, he's obviously a good persuasive talker in interviews.

But how do you get an interview with less than 6 months experience in football and a CV showing you may be OK at determining betting odds or a bit of event hob nobbing? For a job as Technical Director of a League Club? Maybe BetFred might take him, for a Commercial Manager role or something, but not what we were looking for. It's bizarre - and while you can provide some rope for people to gain experience and hope there was some magic not visible to the outside world, all we are seeing are the results of having such a lack of experience running the shop.

True. The squad balance is so clearly shambolic. I can see Morris using that as a (pretty valid) excuse soon for writing off this season and telling us how exciting it will be when he builds his own squad.

Less than 6 months, outside of a transfer window by and large, working for a club of his mates Grandad? There were no better people likely to submit CV's?

I can see Morris using that as a (pretty valid) excuse soon for writing off this season and telling us how exciting it will be when he builds his own squad. More or less what Wellens did in his first season, and he was 100% correct. But bringing in Austin doesn't say "we go again next season" - even if every other transfers we made more or less does. It's incoherent. The other worry is that L2 next season looks like being a lot harder with money at the clubs that come up from the conference as well as Gillingham.

What I’d love to know how Gunning made this team so unLindsey like for two games and then the new manager comes in and we’ve regressed into that possession for possessions sake team.

The big red flag should be < 6 months after joining and right before the transfer window was about to open with nowhere to go. Doesn't smack of choice.

In fairness - one game we were against 10 men for most of it, and the other he had to react after a tactical fuck up almost exposed us to a trouncing. He was able to roll the dice in both games with zero pressure for long term results. Throw some spaghetti at the wall and some will stick could well be what happened. We have no idea if he'd be able to sustain results/goals long term by playing basketball for a full season. Not saying it wouldn't work, just that very few Managers would risk their pay that way. Keegan maybe.
