Even if he did bring in half decent players (which I doubt) he would still piss about with the formation every week, have no tactical know how and fall out with half of them after 6 weeks only to make the latest instalment of #bombsquad. He will then big up their replacements by teaching 6 of the under 14's to play in the 'Coventry way'. If I had the choice of a day out at Wembley and winning this poxy cup and Pressley to stay in charge for another 2 years or lose tonight and Pressley goes, it'd be the loss every single time.
I cringe when I see comments such as 'who is going to do a better job' or 'his hands are tied' 'he's doing the best he can'...well let me tell you, there are a shit load of managers out there who would do ten times better than this useless prick, only who would be responsible for picking him?! Fucking Fishface and Faggot. These 2 clowns 'awarded' him a 4 year Contract for achieving absolutely jack shit. We are totally and utterly bollocksed from top to bottom and that is not likely to change any time soon.
agree with you there, don't get what all the hype about pressley's for, you hear "he kept us up last year after - 10 pts" I honestly think any manager could motivate a team who starts a season on -10, look what happened once we made the gap up, we were awful after the bradford game, forget about changing the clubs DNA we need a manager who knows how to get out of this league, shame for Pressley, seems a decent bloke, think it's just a case of right manager wrong time,
Are we doing marginally better by playing 4-4-2 instead of 5-3-2? Yes.
5 league games since switching to 4-4-2: 8 points gained out of a possible 15
Last 5 league games playing 5-3-2: 1 out of a possible 15
I fear you're right.you dont
sadly, one thing seems to be for sure....This season is better than next season will be !
tbf, I do think Pressley is the man the get us out of this league.
"League Two on Tour"
operation league two going to plan...it can't happen....can it ?
What's the last 5 league games with 532 with Johnson played 90 minutes? 9 point out of 15. 442 has made little difference when we've had a full team out, johnson's (and nouble) absence and return (and signing madine) has been far more a contributing factor for the return to form than switching to 442

hate cheese.If we get promoted this season I will buy everyone who is a sky blue trust member a cheeseburger from mcdonalds

p.s.
Jackson is better than Callum Wilson.
We've got a side of similar quality to Thorn's side. Pressley partly forced and partly of his own volition has got rid of the solid(ish) base we had with Robins. We're desperately short in midfield yet we've got numerous strikers.
I fear you're right.
Maybe I differ from many in that I doubt SP is really the problem.
My suspicion is that he is very closely policed in the transfer market & might usually end up with a third choice (but right price) player after others meddle.
If he were replaced it would only be with someone desperate to work - & that means someone even more committed to the SISU doctrine.
I think CCFC is currently football's equivalent of North Korea!!!
The Scottish twat has kept this fantastic run going, a trophy less winning streak going back 26 years.
But have no doubt he is here to change this mentality, so even though our season is now over in the first week of December the special Scottish one has this under control and our world, famous footballing philosophy and DNA is going well and we will win something within the next century.
thank fuck we have the special one, he talks like the greatest manager to ever walk the earth, pity his record is full only of failure after failure.
we could well be in the presence of the worst Cov manager in our history, and by god we should be thankful we are here to share his appalling record
... we very much look like staying around this division for a while longer. We are not relegation material as much as some of you wish it ...
All I'm saying is, we are 9 points off the play offs.
Shouldn't be too down hearted. Dominated first half and second half was equal, didn't deserve to lose if I'm honest, need to buy a better keeper in January i think though
Frustration sets in every time we lose. Look you have to accept tonight we were the under dogs and did not expect to win at table toping Bristol fielding a full strength side did we?
So put it into context a little. It's been said we were the better side first half by some distance and unfortunate to be 1-0 down.
A so called stone wall penalty may have changed the game from the sound of it.
You have to judge each game on it's merits not just rant away all your frustrations.
Port Vale is an interesting one. We need more good results now than bad ones. I do expect though we may nick this one on Saturday and that will be two away wins on the trot...something that will change the mood yet again.
I'm not prepared to back the calls for SP to go yet. He needs time and that is a luxury we can give him because we very much look like staying around this division for a while longer. We are not relegation material as much as some of you wish it. Take away the grey clouds for now and see where we are come the end of January. We will know a lot more by then after transfer windows, fitness of players and of the opposition teams.
My biggest fear is bringing on these youngsters Haynes, Maddison and co and then selling them instead of reaping the benefit as they come good more than our current short term results.
How many clearcut chances did we create?

Not so! You assume none of the teams above us will get any points while we get those three wins. Of course, that will never happen.
Port vale on Saturday and its a big game. Lose that and SP may well be off.
It was 1-0 when Mcquoid was supposedly fouled I think, Bristol fans seem to think it was a laughable appeal and that the player clearly got the ball. Also Agard started on the bench, it was their wing back Mark Little who was fouled leading to the 1st goal.Okay, I didn't post last night as in the heat of the moment things can be taken out of context, based on the game last night it was disappointing to know that we wouldn't be in the Area Final, in the first half last night we were superb, I have seen the challenge on McQuoid again, it's a penalty beyond all doubt and at that point it's 0-0, if we smash it in we probably go on to win 2-0, because at that stage we looked like we were brimming with confidence and were playing the league leaders off the park.
I can understand why Pressley chose to start McQuoid, but I felt McQuoid didn't really show much in terms of a threat, the goals we conceded were poor and there are two defensive errors that led to both, firstly the challenge from Reda on Agard in the build up to their goal, he doesn't need to slide in like that and inevitably after allowing Bristol City to pack the box they've scored.. The second goal is woeful and backs what I have been saying for a long time now with regards to Andy Webster, the bloke has let the ball bounce and hasn't dealt with it, it's basic defending in the fact that you don't let it bounce, I wouldn't of mind if he had smashed it into row z, but by letting it bounce they've capitalised.
We went flat after that and I thought we lacked the knowledge to break Bristol City down, Saturday is now a huge game and fair play to all the 900-odd fans who made the trip down to Bristol, we made a lot of noise all night.
Also a shoutout must be mentioned to the Mad Hatters who decided it was right to shout at Reda after the game, we're all frustrated but you can't blame one player signally for all the problems, Reda was one of the better players on the night and that scenario causes more problems than it's totally worth.

When are you going to stop defending SP?
He was crap in Scotland. He is doing the same with us. He has signed the players we have. He chooses the formation and the players in the squad. We are getting outplayed by teams on a much smaller budget than ours. We can't even beat a non league part time club.
I said during the pre season that we were going to struggle this season unless things changed quickly. It was like boys against men. Our players were too small for division 3 football. When a player of ours got forward with the ball he didn't get enough backup. Playing keep hold of the ball instead of trying to go forward. Suspect defending. I was wrong about Allsop though. I thought he looked OK :facepalm:
So what has changed since? We have brought in a couple of bigger players and Reda is playing.......when he plays. I have also found out that Allsop isn't good enough. Otherwise nothing.
So who do you blame? CCC? No. Nothing to do with them. SISU? No. They have supplied enough of a budget for an average manager to be mid table. A good manager to be near the top. Or a poor manager to be where we are.
When SP first took over he had a squad put together by Robins. He did OK with them. But once they were sold/bomb squad/released it became his squad. His players. His methods. And since then we have been shit. He must have signed nearly 40 players already. Most of them either shit, played out of position or not interested for some reason. And subs made at wrong times/wrong players are also costing us badly.
And on our chances of promotion this season. No chance at all under SP. He is clueless. But it isn't over yet. A decent manager could easily have us move up the table. We have been poor for ages. But just 3 more wins out of a bad run would have us up there. This division isn't that good. Two seasons ago some on here laughed at me when I backed Yeovil at 80/1 to get promoted. I liked the way they were playing. They plodded away and made 6th. Then they won the playoffs. I wish he would stop looking for a striker to get him out of the shit and sort out the GK and midfield positions. He isn't going to find a Wilson for free easily. But no. We have to sit back whilst this train crash continues.
Hands up, I didn't go to Ashton Gate but can someone confirm the match stats, how many shots on goal did we achieve all night ?.......................If this figure is low again then I'm afraid from the games I have been to then this is core to our demise. I couldn't give a shit how many times we tippy tapped it around for 20 minutes without threat. did we stretch their keeper?

Robbo, what happened between Reda and the fans? Must have happened after I left the stand as didn't spot anything
