But he was the best manager in the world a few weeks ago?

Saturday was shite, absolute shite.  Jolley needs to start learning from his mistakes and learn from them fast.  He needs to decide on a footballing philosophy for the club and embed it quickly.

But let's stop this hero to zero crap every five minutes, it's embarrassing.  


The best post on this thread by a country mile. It's like flipping "buzz word bingo"...first out of the blocks was the old "has he lost the dressing room" followed as surely as night follows day with the usual suspects citing failures at Board level as the reason for our continued time in the doldrums. Make no mistake about it-Saturday was probably the worst home display of Jolley's time here yet even in that it was fine margins. On another day we'd have been 3-2 up within 20 minutes of the start of the second half.  I couldn't have been more pi**ed off after the game on Saturday but reading this thread and the multiple others saying pretty much the same thing I'm not at all sure that it's only Jolley who might be over thinking things!!


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

It does seem a tad over the top calling for his head to be fair.

See what we have in our squad is a bunch of average league 2 players, that is pretty much it. Couple of good ones and dare i say it a few not so good ones. So taking that into account and the fact that even after 3 losses on the trot we are still only 3 points from the play offs would suggest that in this league most of the teams are in similar position of being very inconsistent.
Also given the fact that Mr Jolley still does not appear to have a great budget, im hoping he has not used it all and was saving a few pennies for the transfer window, its plain to see we need a few more players in midfield.

I trust Jolley to get it right but im not expecting it quick, he has built a better squad but with the level of budget at his disposal it takes time. Stop panicking!!

He should be replaced by someone who "knows the club"

Jolley is doing a poor job, no doubt at all.

He has to be instructing the players to bypass midfield to play off Hanson, has to be or why would they do it? It's okay playing it up to a target man and playing off him, but not from those areas in the air. The lads to the left and right of him are rarely close enough to have a chance with his flick ons. If you are going to play 4-3-3, and it is a very fluid formation then you can't play it the way we do.

If you are going to play it from the back to Hanson, then you must a) Sacrifice some width and get the inside forwards closer to the target man. Or b) Play it into his feet and play off him. Whacking it in the air to him is ineffective. 4-3-3 is fine if you are using the width which means getting the ball wide to the inside forwards, the midfield (or 1 or 2 of the 3 - another big problem is the midfield three as too deep allowing the opposition unchallenged posession in front of their defence) up with the play, then you can deliver balls from wide as close to the byline as possible to give Hanson a chance of using his strength in the air.

We are not getting balls into him from wide positions. Tactically, we are not giving him or ourselves a chance and the opposition are just letting Hanson win the flick ons then just picking up the second ball. These tactics have to be down to the manager, either that or they are not listening to him. Either way, he isn't doing his job and questions should be asked. I am sick to death of taking two steps forwards and three steps back. All the time, year after year. We have the basis of a good side, but we have gone to excrement in double quick time.


And you would know better than a man who is one of only 16 Managers in the UK who holds the UEFA Pro Licence, the highest-level managerial qualification in association football in Europe.  I doubt very much that he need any advice from you.

What do you need to have to pass a UEFA PRO Licence?

Is it just brains?

Only asking.

No different to any other qualification  you need the ability to remember things.

I worked with an electrician with a 2:1 masters in electrical engineering...
He had a nickname...
"Academically brilliant, practically...useless"...
All I am saying is you can gain the highest qualification you like but if you cannot put into practice then it's as much use as a chocolate fireguard...

I don’t want Jolley out in the slightest.

But using your yardstick he should be managing a lot lot higher then ?????  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
