ok.....so just listened to his post match interview....in a nutshell

we havn't been scoring enough goals

need to look at why

we dont have a set system, we will look at any system to solve it

looking ahead for the summer and next season


the answer to the first 3 is...try selecting a team that has more than one player capable of beating an opposition player

the answer to the final point...try building a squad that has more than one player capable of beating an opposition player

Whilst todays squad was depleted for various reasons, the overall lack of pace, creativity and skill that Jolley has built is very concerning. Then use that in a formation that requires a degree of pace and creativity and you get lots of 0's in our scorelines.

While i like some of the technical elements he has brought in and some degree of comfort on the ball we now have, it is too slow and uninventive to create the opposition any worries and that has been evident since Christmas at least.

We were done today by our two main Achilles heels....Collins pace and crosses


So not scoring again had nothing to do with it?

Im afraid he is out of his depth, a brave appointment by Fenty at the time, but he is being found out quite quickly now.

Didnt know what he was doing today, substitutions were ridiculous to say the least.

Be quite happy if the axe falls on Monday, long term we are going nowhere with Jolley.

Same old situation though isn't it? We get a manager, he does OK, he hasn't got much budget and has now lost two of his bigger earners (Welsh - not really a miss - and Thomas) and arguably his most influential player in Embleton. Add Whitehouse into that and the release of Mitch Rose and we've lost a full midfield without replacing any.

What's for sure is that we need quality in midfield and up front that we haven't got now. Collins is a liability if an attack has some pace and will surely be replaced but we're sort of OK at the back. We must however recruit players who can create and score.

Jolley needs to find a couple of midfielders who can play a ball through to the attackers and Aldo get 5/6 goals themselves, and a couple of attackers who are capable of getting 10/12 goals each. Not easy I know but the defence is as good as sorted, obviously without Collins. my concern is that the budget will not be greatly increased because it seems that as little no as we survive each season Mr Fenty can get some of his loan back.

Quoted from denni266
I have said before that Jolley is a coach not a manager, and his record is as bad as any of the other managers we have had before that have been sacked.This persistance  with the 352 system is beyond a joke. The only thing he excells at it saying the right things ,but not doing them. We have reasonable players playing the wrong system and if he cannot see that he needs to go back in too banking, I suspect he will be given about 8 games in the new season , and if no beter than this season he will be gone


bang on the money ,he should not any more time ,he needs replacing now.

Quoted from Hagrid
We’ve lost 20 games. 20! As many as the bottom 2


And we've won twice as many at home as we had last season at this stage.

Progress of sorts

Only one man to blame, John Shelton Fenty.

Get a grip and demand more from the man who has consistently dragged this club down like no other.

The budget set by the board dictates where you finish in the league. Yes you can over achieve with a small budget. Yes you can fail with a large budget.

Overall, your budget will dictate which players you can attract and as shown by the last few managers we dont attract quality players in anything like the numbers required to build a successful team.

Progress of sorts


This calendar year we have won just 4 out of 16 league games. We are averaging less than a point a game, and less than a goal a game. (11 in 16). On recent form we are currently the worst team in the country.

3 points from the last 8 games. It's the kind of form that led to Slade getting the sack.

It's a results business, and we need to see that Jolley is capable of turning this around in the remaining games.
