Deptford Yellow 303 Posted August 7, 2024 It saddens me to see the Pinkun journalists aiming so low … Surely if we made it to sixth under the dodgy Wagner it’s not unreasonable to hope at least for the same again ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norwich canary 171 Posted August 7, 2024 Wagner got sacked for finishing 6th so if we have any faith in Knapper we must finish higher or what was the point of getting ride of Wagner ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwearyCanary 1,363 Posted August 7, 2024 Just now, norwich canary said: Wagner got sacked for finishing 6th so if we have any faith in Knapper we must finish higher or what was the point of getting ride of Wagner ? Because not everything in the sustainability of a football club is about finishing position. Wagner did overall an adequate job, but we were so far behind the leaders of the pack that we got shown by Leeds just how off the pace we were. If Wagner and his approach was seen as something we could build on and progress then keeping him is what we would’ve done. Clearly the club feel he hit his ceiling with the squad we had, has not necessarily got the right skill set to take us forward in the current climate of having to cut our cloth accordingly and Hoff is seen as having the skills that we need. We may be wrong, but we were not going forwards with Wagner in my opinion. That is of course the crux of it and opinion is flawed, but to arbitrarily feel that we should expect higher position this season is a massive naive oversimplification. In other terms, should every single team expect to keep progressing forward/upward as they evolve? All other clubs are doing the same, so the variables and competition change all the time. I’d be happy with a lower finish if it feels like the other things are there and hopefully building. I feel Wagner peaked and his peak wasn’t good enough, Hoff we hope has yet to peak and we hope more his peak is higher than Wagner once the dust settles in a few seasons 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 1,099 Posted August 7, 2024 Why is everyone so positive about Coventry? (And I say that as someone who lives just outside Cov). They didnt even make the play offs last year and have sold their 'star player' O Hare. Appreciate they have made a lot of signings but I don't know a lot about them and who knows if they will gel. Seems like they're going through quite a transition and I'm not entirely convinced Robins is the exceptional manager that people seem to think. Maybe it's just that I cant stand the thought of them going up and lots of my mates bragging about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wagner was sacked after leading the team to 6th. Wagner team was also subjected to  booing and he was always two negative results from a crisis. The team was heavily criticised for a draw away at Coventry and a home draw against Southampton. Both results in my mind were good points. Are the same fans going to give Thorup the same treatment? Why should he be treated differently to the two previous incumbents.  When Smith and Wagner team played out from the back there was audible groans and nervousness in the crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
