Blofield Canary 11 Posted August 9, 2009 One very poor game and people want to hang the manager , sack the board etc. FFS it''s one game out of a season.How many on here play golf?Ever put your drive at the 1st well out of bounds? Stuck your drive on the short 2nd into a bloody great bunker? Do you give up and not bother playing the next 16? Do you sack your caddy? Sell your clubs and take up knitting?Lets wait a few games and see what happens. One of our best seasons followed us conceeding 7 goals in a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scot-e-dog 34 Posted August 9, 2009 Gunn''s had 20 or so drives and pretty much put all of them out of bounds.I can''t even think of how to extend the golfing analogy to describe yesterday''s ''drive''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Flashheart 0 Posted August 9, 2009 I seem to remember fans calling for Worthington''s head after a 4-0 stuffing by Millwall on the opening day. They soon shut up when we reached the playoff finals in Cardiff, so I sympathise to some extent with your point of view. That said however I don''t think the problem people have is primarily yesterday''s result. I feel it''s more to do with the lack of belief in the manager''s ability to turn things around. If Gunn had already shown that he can get results, motivate a team etc then perhaps people would be a little less worried by yesterday''s display. Unfortunately he hasn''t, so people''s general nervousness is entirely warranted. Still, I hope you''re right. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blofield Canary 11 Posted August 9, 2009 He was playing with somebody elses clubs last season. Has bought or scrounged his own set now so I''m judging him from now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NottsCanary 0 Posted August 9, 2009 I see your thinking, although if you continuely hit your drive out of bounds, you usually take a different club to try and stop the OB shots, in this case, the keeper!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the answer ,as I suspect it should be ,is no - then he''s got to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ball goes so far, it lands in the snake pit of the local zoo, making 2 of the snakes really angry, who come and get you. Fortunately, so really very professional stewards stop the snakes just before they reach you, leaving you free to hit your next 6 tee shots just as far backwards off the tee.

Blofield Canary 11 Posted August 9, 2009 Glad to see my post has managed to at leat bring a bit of humour back to this board. And to answer the question, I am far from confident that Gunn can get us enough wins this season to make the playoffs. To be honest i can see us knocked out of the League cup and JP Trophy by the end of the month and in the bottom 3 of the league.Still prepared to judge the current team after 8 games. There must have been something there preseason. Ignoring the earlier games we did manage a win at Palace and beat a very decent Wigan side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its his first real team but i have some very worrying concerns and i don''t think we should afford the time most managers get if we continue poorly the next 5 or so games. As for the Board, well they''ve had plenty long enough and some.No excuses for them i''m afraid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
