How many are calling for Pressley's head tonight? (1 Viewer)

[covcity4life]

To be fair I said few weeks ago I've decided to take long term approach and trust in SP vision for the club.

Could all end in tears of course but I need to believe!

Hmmm....didn't think so.

Today he and the players did what we expect them to do every game. He still does not have a designated penalty specialist despite it costing us dearly before. That shows an inability to learn from mistakes and an unprofessional lack of planning. Just get all the players together and each takes 50 penalties. Whoever scores most is the specialist. It's not rocket science. Some monetary reward for each penalty scored wouldn't hurt either.

You are absolutely correct. I vote for Ronnie Farmer.

 

[chiefdave]

Not sure you can use todays performance to prove SP knows what he's doing. He ended up with a side and formation through injuries and illness. He was forced to move Pennington in his correct position and play Tudguy who he'd bombed out.

First half was great but I'd question the whole not having a plan for penalty takers, that seems crazy to me.

They seemed to work us out and started the second half much stronger, not sure he really had the tactical skills to counter that but fortunately we kept them at bay and grabbed a second. Happy days!

 

[stedo86]

Right your all boring me no one has shown passion and hard work like pressley for years so shut up we are where we are and he's doing better than anyone I can think of!! Don't respond not interested your boring!!

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Stedo86, ffs your easy to please, six points above the relegation zone and your happy as fucking Larry .

we have some dimwits as fans but this bloke could be put in the RFC folder

 

[fernandopartridge]

Lolol. ONE win, and he suddenly becomes a Messiah! He plays more than 1 player up front, we actually score a couple of goals, and it took him all season to realise this???

Won at Port Vale the other week didn't we. 2-0 with one man up front. What's your point?

 

[fernandopartridge]

Agreed .

Is he learning and Is the Coventry way Bollocks .

John silletts team didn't have to be bollocked /bombed to run run run .

Must say though wingy that Sillett had a different calibre of character and footballer. Some of the current squad could retire comfortably already and they know it.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Three men up front, actually.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

In all honesty, this season is already gone in terms of promotion. It doesn't look like we are going to go down either, might as well keep him till the end of the season. If it isn't a significant improvement on first half then replace him in the summer and allow a manager to build.

Basically I think he should have gone earlier but we've missed our opportunity now, won't get a new man in time to make changes in the January window + season is over now even with a change so no point right now. Assuming he's still crap in May get rid of him then.

 

[TheParsonsHose]

Still needs to seriously repair that win rate.

We should run a 2015 stat bar at the top of the main page win, draw and lose with %.

 

[rupert_bear]

I went today, we won 2-0 which is great, but I still think as we stand we are one of the favourites to finish in the bottom 4. Now if Pressley gets to bring in 3 or 4, add them to what we had yesterday plus Johnson, Madine and Martin then maybe things can improve. I don't rate Steve Pressley as a manager and would replace him asap if it was up to me but they won't so as I just said who he brings in will be paramount and his performance in that department isn't very inspiring.

 

[tisza]

frustration is that with the league being so open it feels it needs only a slight improvement to challenge for the play-offs. there's a real opportunity in this window to kick on.
the side 3rd from bottom are only 10 pts off the top 6.

 

[speedie87]

We played 4-2-3-1

 

[ccfcway]

The majority of the bookies have us 9th favs to go down.

 

[PVA]

Stedo86, ffs your easy to please, six points above the relegation zone and your happy as fucking Larry .

Er... And how many points off the playoffs?

Pressley is no miracle worker, he's not the best manager we've ever had and I am still not fully convinced by him . But he's about as good as we can expect right now. The list of currently available managers is not very inspiring at all.

It's been statistically proven that changing managers has very very little effect on a clubs mid to long term improvement.

You'd only be calling for SP's replacements head 12 months from now so for once let's give a manager a bit of time rather than hiring and firing every 12 months.

 

[Evo1883]

I think all teams will havepositive runs and negative runs , lets see if we can build spme form of consistency , remember the dvd that was released because of our 8 match unbeaten run at the start of the season , well expect volume 2 after the last 7 games

 

[kg82]

Haha, this thread! I couldn't be bothered to read pages 2, 3, 4 or 5. People stating "6 points off bottom 4", when we're also 4 points off top 6. Anything to fit an agenda right.

With the caveat that we have now played at least 1 more game than everyone else.....and 2 more games than 6 other teams and 3 more games than Scunthorpe. It remind me of the tub under robins when we got quite close but everyone had games in hand.

4 points off top, have you seen the table with every team around us with a game in hand?

It would take a miracle for us to be 4 points off play offs when those games have been played.

 

[kg82]

And? I didn't state 4 points off play offs with every team having played the same amount of games, did I? I simply pointed out that presently we are closer, points-wise, to the play offs than we are to the relegation zone. Prove me wrong.

 

[torchomatic]

Maybe so. It would also be a miracle to win your last three games to avoid relegation.... I would rather have the points on the board than games in hand. Yes, of course, those teams mights win those games. And, of course, they may not.

Good win yesterday, things look brighter. We should enjoy it while we can.

[covcity4life]

If Bradford and Sheffield utd don't win next games thenn we could go into Swindon game with chance to cut gap to 3 which would be amazing

 

[skybluebeduff]

If Crawley and Crewe win their next games, the league and our position looks different. This is CCFC we're talking about here, tread lightly when walking on eggshells.

 

[malkitccfc]

I still want Pressley out regardless of how well we played yesterday. These stupid threads need to stop popping up everytime we win a game. We've been shit for ages. Pick up the odd win and then the play off threads start. We've got no chance of the play offs. We won't even finish top half

Going by your logic then 3 away wins in a few weeks is shit?

 

[Astute]

And 3 away wins all season isn't bad? At least we have won a massive 4 home games this season

Like you keep telling us SP should be given much longer :facepalm:

1 home win in our last 8 home league games....in fact since the Yeovil win at the Ricoh

Only 7 goals and 3 of them were against Peterborough, makes painful reading that does.

 

[Paxman II]

Astute, Yes SP needs more time for sure. Your logic is skewered though. Anyone who refuses to see that a team on a decent run of improved results is not willing to debate fairly but would rather just be a critic is engulfed by the clubs off field situation.

We were lucky yesterday. But it was still a good result. We played well. And we had players on the pitch that were not SP's first choice. We had players that he normally plays out of position where they should be because of injuries. They made changes at half time that gave them the upper hand. SP did nothing about it.

Do you want me to carry on?

 

[Paxman II]

Astute I won't stay on here all day debating with you endlessly but suffice to say your use of the word 'lucky' concerning a good away win yesterday that was well earned is little bizarre.

I'd argue that point with you Paxman ,I personally have massive Issues with those running the Club but am Inclined to see Pressley continue

while over ten games there has been Improvement .

We haven't been amazing though and he's not the messiah but there Is no advantage changing him currently ,he was struggling 6 weeks

back though and It could have happened .

They were well on top in the second half. And SP did nothing about it. What do you think would have happened if one of their efforts that hit the post would have gone in and pulled them level? And yes I did call it a good win.

How about not having a dedicated penalty taker? Do you agree with SP on this? We certainly have a very poor conversion rate on them.

They were well on top for 15 mins. That was to be expected. And I'm pretty sure Nouble dropped back a bit to help Haynes out as they were rinsing us down the left. It was pretty even again after that.
