What has Jolley done wrong?

I can’t think of anything of significance that fans would say Jolley has done wrong since joining the club? Great results, teams selections that largely agreed with fans’ opinions (more importantly picked up points), great PR which no one minds, relsesed the players we all wanted gone (okay maybe half of us would have kept mills instead of Woolford, but I think we can all see his thinking here) and most importantly kept us in the league.

What a gem, give that man a longer contract or we’ll find ourselves managerless in November.

Enjoy the World Cup boys, we’re gonna have fun next year.

End of thread

Jolley has saved us and brought back the good feelings again

UTM

The only thing he has done wrong is to give us nothing to moan about. Grimsby fans are prone to moan and grumble, it's in their blood.

He teased us by not winning any of his first 6 (or 5?) games in charge, before deciding now is the time to unleash the beast and lead us back into the light.

God bless you Mr Jolley and UTFM

What a load of bollox this thread is. What we need is an experienced manager to guide is to safety.someone like Phil Brown











Is this right ipswin?

For me he assessed the players very quickly and realised what they could do rather than what they couldn’t. I’m very hopeful for next season but then again I was for this season  

If we can't call the manager what are we going to do all summer. Surely he must have done something wrong but I can't think of anything. It was easier before he came- spoilsport.

I think the secret here with our new manager is to keep our expectations low and sensible, for example, we would all like not to go through what we went through this year & be fighting for league 2 existence, anything more than that would be brilliant, and should we be lucky & good enough of having a chance to reach the playoffs that would also be brilliant, i'm just trying to be sensible & realistic holding back from any chance of getting carried away because we all know what happens when you start doing that, the opposite happens.

Not quite sure that's true. The team that has been winning has Woolford, Hooper, Rose, Clarke, RHJ and Cardwell. I don't think a fans consensus would have had any of those in the team 6 weeks ago, certainly not the first 4.

Well who's to say Slade wouldn't have kept us up?  

My only very, very, very slight criticism of him would be i would have liked to have seen more of Suliman at CB but even then i can understand why he went for the experienced partnership in Clarke and Collins at such a vital part of the season.

Otherwise I can’t really say he’s anything wrong at all, so far. Out of interest, anybody able to tell me whay Jolleys record is in terms of wins, draws, losses etc along with his current points total?

Have you spilled some mushy peas on your sign in thingy

Absolutely correct, lets see what the hero of today does next season shall we?

An absolutely flipping brilliant move by Fenty then. Well done John! Saved our season, great appointment.

How nice it must be, to live in the Ipswin household. Everyday filled with hope and positivity.

Played 10 win 4 drawn 3 lost 3 that's 1.5 points per game ,which over the season would have us knocking on the door of the play offs.


If we take co v as the low point we won 4 n free 2 of our last 7 and the last 5 was won 4 drew 1.
I'm finding it difficult not to get a little bit excited about next season

Winning games helps change everything.

Me.

............and anyone who saw any of his last dozen or so games in charge.

Nice to see you here Mrs Jolley. Your son's doing a great job.

Signing Gary McSheffrey? after a few games just seemed to of been a waste of wages but I think I'm scraping the barrel a bit.

That trouser style with the legs tapering at the bottom emphasises his girth. He should wear fuller legged trousers.

I think we may all need to chip in and buy him a new jumper. I’ve only ever seen him in that dark blue one

A brief dalliance with zonal marking would be the only thing that jumps to mind tactically.  Otherwise his little tweaks and changes have been good to observe as some have been long overdue, ie sorting the long throw.

disagree....i thought that with hard work, digging deep,some luck, better quality referees and by keeping going at it  they would have turned that corner under Slade  ..

And giving each of the players a laptop so that they hey could do homework on Slade's tactics.

He’s had a great start. It’s still way too early to tell how he’ll get on though. He’s got a huge job on in the summer and he has to work with the current board.

Without going into detail all I'll say is he's refreshing. He's taking things very serious and changing things behind the scene for the better of the club to make it more professionally run. It's upsetting a few stalwarts within the club as they're not quite liking all the change but for me it's better for the club.

Oh, come on lukeo ,you can't post summat like that without some more detail.I'm intrigued, tell more!

Well apart from anything else he got the side winning hard working matches at Blundell Park in front of big crowds and contributed to getting the roar back from the fans even Hurst never did much good at that.

Everybody on and off the pitch has been inspired.

Hes wanting to be more technical and use advanced technology instead of pen and paper for one thing.. But it all costs money and a certain person I understand (which you all know anyway) is controlling and tight.

Slade had advanced technology though. Microsoft Office! (the 3 amigos)
