  • Sounds like a man who knows he can't turn it around

    His plan B would have been Aneke

    I'm not watching the game. 

    Only relying on statistics, public responses and league positions for my evaluation, which probably reduces it's relevance.

    If players are no longer wearing the badge and working at the required maximum effort level. If he's constantly chopping and changing.

    I hate to say it as I really like and respect the bloke but I think the pressure is now well and truly on.

    I do still believe in giving him 10 games into next season and evaluating from that point, but football is football and it is a crooked business.

    It's a shame to say I don't think he's going to be here much longer.

    It's just the way football is. It's an impatient digital age of money money money. Win win win. Maximum expectations.

    It's no longer for the people. 

    11 of our players on that pitch. They have the freedom to just withdraw all forms of direct responsibility...as soon as the manager is under pressure!

    Even if Mike basset replaced bowyer...the initial freshness will more likely then not, usually always produce results but for a short period of time.

    Everyone's gotta get sacked these days. The players run the show.

    I'm sorry but TS would have to be mad to persevere with him. Managers are paid by results and ours are shocking.
  • Not a cat in hells chance are we making the play offs this season so we might as well start planning for next season. Best way to do that is to bring someone in now to start looking at what what we need to do and to give them a summer to do it. Sad as it is, Bowyer is not the manager to take us to the next level and Sandgaard needs to address that if he doesn’t want his business to flounder any longer.

    I could count on 1 hand (and that is no understatement) the amount of times out strikers touched the ball in their half that second half. Would have been exactly the same for Aneke 
  • I always thinks a team represents their managers mindset.

    I remember Arsenal players sulking and moaning about every decision just like Wenger. Liverpool lively and energised (prior to this season)like Klopp

    I've just watched the Bowyer interview he looks listless and uninspiring and has done for months pre and post match..
    His side are a reflection of him.

    Maybe time for a change.

    Disagree.

    It is a lot more of a mixed bag. It is nowhere near as straightforward as that at all.

    We need repairing. 

    It doesn't mean you simply just bring in a new manager but that option is always the easiest.

    The players are adults. They get paid to do the job they do. They are not babies.

  • Sounded lost in his post match today.

    No fight. Not at all bullish. Apathy and resignation in defeat. 

    Miss the old Bows   
  • Don't despair. We'll snatch an unconvincing win soon and the bow lovers can rub it in the faces of those who think he's not up to the job..............
  • Purely speculation of course, but Bowyer's post match interview sounded to me like a man who knew he needed to win today.

    Maybe a conversation has already been had or is scheduled. 

    Possibly gone before Tuesday??  We shall see
  • Two shots in the game. Poor conditions yes but Fleetwood adapted to them so much better than us. 

    Bowyer changed formation more times in that second half than I have changed my socks this week. 

    Time to try and get either cook or the cowleys ready for next seasons promotion push

    The sooner he goes the better - we've been hopeless under him recently and there are no signs of improvement. It's just chaos...

    3 months too late, but I understand TS's reluctance to fire him.

    However, LB cannot be defended any more; he just is not good enough and the results show it.
  • I want Bowyer gone and this isn't a results things this is on a human level. He looks and sounds depressed, I think the good times are gone. That voice doesn't strike me as one that is gonna get players playing, he has depressed me and all I have to do is watch. I think the last year or so has taken it's toll. I do believe he is a capable manager and if he went elsewhere with a fresh start and scenery he could do well but I just think we are done.

    It's the comments I can't deal with anymore. Overachieving, saying a team who is in 16th who have won like 2 games in 15?? Are a good side, cmon Lee ffs. I actually can't defend comments like that. We make these teams look good! 

    I am sorry for the sudden change I am genuinely quite patient but that's me done. I am not watching us get outshot by 5 times over by Fleetwood and listening to my manager say they are a good side. It's absolute bulls**t

    I would take Curbs in a heart beat. It's unfinished business imo and from his talks I think he still has what it takes.

    I don't know of any manager even at grass roots level I came up against (and including myself) who didn't understand that with wind like today, you press high and aim to go in 2 or 3 to the good. 

    Bowyer blamed the players for playing it long, but surely he has an input in how we play FFS! He needs to go now. A new face is the best chance on us going on a run.

  • My thoughts on Bowyer have been neutral until now. I don’t think this thread should be a question, Bowyer has lost it.
  • We play bottom of the league Burton at home on Tuesday. If there ever was a match which we must win. This has got to be it for Bowyer.
  • On a positive note we can't get much worse.

    Thing is we will scrape an unconvincing 2-1 win, paper over the cracks and he gets another crack of the whip. This is starting to remind me of the back end of Pardew’s tenure. He too stood there on the touch line looking absolutely lost.

    Sadly, we may have more chance of making the play offs if we lose on Tuesday if it means a manager who has lost the plot goes. The squad is good enough but is playing within itself. Maybe they are afraid to get dug out if they try anything!

    If he was a loyal as some say, he would walk.
  • We play bottom of the league Burton at home on Tuesday. If there ever was a match which we must win. This has got to be it for Bowyer.
    Agreed. Anything less than a comfortable win and I am afraid that Bows has to go. Blackpool follow and are a roll so Tuesday becomes a rather depressing ‘must win’.
  • Stick with him until the end of the season and then review it. It's good to be talking about the football rather than which con has taken us over. When you compare what was going on this time last year I'd take how it is now all day long. What we need is stability now. Get behind him.
    Why? Don't know if you watched today but we were abysmal. Absolutely pathetic. Bowyer in his post match interview sounded downright depressed. How on earth is he going to motivate this squad?

    With the players we have (and don't forget in this transfer window Bowyer has signed Millar, Schwartz, Stockley, Jaiyesimi and Smith - what other manager at this level has been able to sign those sort of players?) it is ludicrous we are being played off the park by a team like Fleetwood.

    Make the change now and let's see if through some miracle this season can be saved.
  • You'd have to be pretty crap to lose to Burton. How did we do against them away?
  • Every post match interview he does he seems to say the other team are a 'good side' no matter where they are in the league. Maybe it's because we make every team we play look good!
