no more excuses for pressley (1 Viewer)

You are wrong, it is because Pressley has not had millions of pounds to spend like the other teams in this league!

Really?....So what difference would that make?

Last 6 league games:

W=2 D=3 L=1
Clean sheets=4

It's not promotion form, but it's not relegation form either. Over a season that form would bring in 69pts.

We need to score more goals, but if he stick with Nouble, Madine and Jackson it will come.

I don't think Pressley will resign Nouble.

All the excuses in the world cannot help pressley anymore .
he is not a football manager , lets take a look at scunny , no money , small club , squad worth less than ours , lower wages etc .
we went there and they were bottom , couldnt buy a win , they beat us then they appoint an actual manager that can work grea at this level .
mark robins played 12 won 5 drew 6 lost 1 ....and we should be happy with the garbage currently at ccfc lol.
pull the other one , do you reckon pressley could go to a club like scunny and do that lol .
we need a proper manager , sadly the last one we had turned his back on us

Neither do I but I think he should sign him, if he lets him go he needs to bring someone who does what he does but only better. At the moment he's the only one with any sort of spark in him, closest thing to a replacement for Moussa last season albeit different positions and not as good.

You are right. It should have happened weeks or even months ago.

Problem is, where do you play him? He played left mid in a 442 yesterday, which I think caught Chesterfield off guard in the first half, but then was anonymous in the second. He's not a midfielder, I can't see that plan working week in week out. On yesterday's showing jackson and Madine have to play up front together. We really need to get a proper left winger in.

I'm curious why you are this decisive on Pressley, but defended and supported Thorn - even after relegation.

I'll answer this one for him.

Because he still liked Thorn so decided to support him even after relegation. But has decided that Pressley has to go.
Pretty outside of the box thinking by me, but I bet I'm right.

CraigSBA said:

Thorn was poor but never pretended to be a manager , just got appointed off the back of a few decent results , pressley talks just about the best managerial alk ever off the pitch , yet is just as garbage as thorn at putting an effective team on the pitch

I think he pretended to be a manager the minute he took a manager's job

Agreed

Unfortunately I made it back to the car in time to hear Mr Pressley's post match comments.

'It was a winning performance.......?

'Very pleased with Connor Thomas......?

Etc. Etc. ....

Firstly, we didn't win and secondly Thomas was Chesterfield's best attacking midfielder. A side with better finishers would

have exploited his many creative through balls.

"A winning performance"

They're almost cryptic some of his latests Classics!

Very easy. I believe in giving a manager a chance.

Thorn had the majority of the squad sold and not replaced. He was left with mainly inexperienced kids. He even had the only player scoring goals sold when we needed him. He then got to bring in players during the closed season. We had a difficult start but never lost a game before he got sacked. Whereas SP has signed.....sorry lost count of the amount.......players and we can't even compete with a non league part time club. We are even struggling to get a shot on target in some games. We lose all ideas once we reach the half way line. We keep using a system that doesn't work. He makes wrong subs, makes them at the wrong tome....or even both. Most of the players SP has brought to our club has been poor. Yet he tells us how well we are playing when it is obvious that he is deluded.

I admit that it looks like I was wrong about Thorn. But we only knew for sure when another club gave him a chance. SP has passion. But so did Thorn. What else does SP bring to our club that is good?

Yes, but the team will have a lot of changes in 2 weeks a number of loans end.

There will be another bedding in period while the new guys get used to their teammates.

Will that form be sustained while that happens, maybe, maybe not.

What Is the point ?

Whoever they are they'll be gone in 15811200 seconds.

I put in a post the day before the game, that I would have put Madine, Nouble and Jackson in the side together and gone for it.
To my surprise he did just that! What followed was a 0-0 and that is how much I know about the game. I thought with those guys in a goal would surely come.

All of us think we can be better managers than SP or the next guy but actually doing it is a very difficult task. It's not apples for apples but look at Rodgers now, look at Pardew's topsy turvey season? Would you sack them?

Yes Robin's was doing to all in tense and purposes, a fine job and at Huddersfield he started well but ended up failing badly and sacked after only a year or so? Those calling for his return should heed that. A new manager normally always starts well before things settle down. It's what they can do after the honeymoon is over with the various restraints and conditions placed on them. Those conditions have been spectacularly shocking at CCFC for quite some time and if you believe that does not affect things you are crazy.

We need to have some stability on the playing side because off it we are a shambles.

I don't think SP is doing really well but we should not be calling for his head just yet. two away wins a defeat and a draw against a side who would have gone top six had they beat us seems reasonable to me. Sometimes the football can be dire but getting results are what matters most. I don't think we are in any danger of relegation and as much as I don't see any realistic chance of the playoffs we are only half way through a long hard season and a few wins from a play off spot in reality. We should be looking up not concentrating on looking down. It could yet be a better season than some are predicting.

Quick fixes don't work. SP will work hard, he's not a journeyman and has ambition. That has to be a good thing. As I said we all think we could manage better, the reality is very different I'm sure.
We should be concentrating on the quality of players we have because some are simply not good enough. One or two key additions could make all the difference.
Not prepared to rush in another journeyman manager just yet. He will need to lose more than he wins in the next 10 before I could make that call having had the January window to fix a few things....

I agree, as long as that replacement isn't another Swanson or O'Brien style wide man. I'd rather keep Nouble if Pressley is just gonna use his saved wages on shite.

i suppose a lot of it is out of our hands, Ipswich might want him back in their squad, or they may have had inquiries from Championship clubs (ala DMC) who can afford to pay a higher % of his wages. He's ultimately their player, same with Madine.

They've both been part of an under performing team, I doubt they have a queue of championship clubs lining them up tbh or there parent club wants them. I think it's more does Pressley want to keep them and finances.

Ipswich have said there is no future for Nouble, would like to see him signed on a long term contract along with Madine and Martin. We cannot piss about with 1 year contracts, Pressley needs to be allowed to build a side over a few seasons. Not having to start from scratch every summer, then relying on loans as this has proved to be futile.

The book is still open on Pressley, think he needs a stronger number 2 as i don't think it is currently working

I'm sure I read somewhere that Nouble is on £18k per week at Ipswich, no chance we will be singing him on a long term contract, unless he's willing to accept £2k per week.

I think that came from football manager, no one is going to offer him anything near that now. If he wants to stay in the game he is going to need to drop that.

True but he's still got 6 months left on his contract, he will probably sit it out, unless ipswich pay him off. If he stays it will be on another loan deal. I don't think Pressley particular rates him given that he's only been used sparingly until Sunday, so I don't think he'll be staying anyway.

Tying up Madine is more important,
