That’s a concern as it suggests they want someone who can be told what to do AND how to do it. Someone who will carry on playing with the same shite football. Think I’d rather have Adkins back! Having said that, I’ve always been one to judge the Manager by the performances on the pitch and the results. Who knows this guy could be the re-boot we need, but at the moment it seems more like a Bednarek style own goal! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn’t have any billy big boot players - not lying 18th in the table and the drive to sell any player that have achieved anything of note the past few seasons. So should not be anything for Jones to deal with. Jones may tick many of the analytical boxes but there is more to coaching than a computer saying ‘Yes’. We’ll probably never know what other characteristics they consider. Have SR already sounded out higher calibre managers who have said no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imadirtyurchin Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 I look forward to the attempted PR push from the club when this appointment happens. Bets on them wheeling Prowsey out to say “I’ve always wanted to work with *checks notes* Nathan Jones - he’s a proven manager with a stellar career: his achievements really are second to none. A scintillating run to the playoff semi final and a thrilling performance. I look forward to him repeating those achievements here. btw sorry for losing heavily against Liverpool. Early days. The players need to work harder and concentrate for a full 90mins - it will come” I don’t feel optimistic obviously. Being a footy fan for me is all about hope - you hope for a win and a few goals. When people are on form and playing well there is more hope. Ralph provided that post- hughes and it made a big difference. Atm there is not much hope or belief within the fan base after too many poor results and not enough goals. Nathan Jones doesn’t inspire more hope for me... 3/4 defeats and he’ll be massively under pressure and we’ll be fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 7 November, 2022 Share Posted 7 November, 2022 Can't say it's an exciting appointment but then I guess Brighton fans may not have been that excited about Graham Potter and Thomas Frank wouldn't have had heads turning when he became the Brentford manager. Concerning that he tends to be direct but that might be because that's the best fit for the players he has. Brentford are pretty direct anyway so anyone wanting Frank would have had to reconcile that. We'll definitely need a big target man if that's how we want to play though. Plenty of risk but any new appointment would be and I guess we're not the most attractive proposition and it's not the ideal time to be looking for a manager either. Not really worried about the god thing - entirely up to him and shouldn't be anything that is a factor in either his success or failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
