I’m not sure where to start from that today to be honest, it’s too easy to blame lennon, although the way they are performing for him it’s normally the manager who takes the fall. He put a team out today and a shape that everyone was on groups saying that’s what we should be doing and still the players perform like amateurs . I’m not sticking up for him but you can’t blame him for Duffy defending like he did for the second, the way wright walked past turnbull without even a challenge for the third and him not even breaking into a run to get back to make a challenge. If he’s lost the dressing room fair enough, but the Players need to take a good hard look at themselves as well. We are soft at the minute, teams don’t have to work hard to score against us which puts us more under pressure, especially as it gives teams the options to sit deep with everyone behind the ball. Where we really struggle to break down teams that play like that.
If we change the management, who could come in at short notice, that could coach us, give the players confidence again in a really short time where whoever comes in has no time to hit the ground running, as a few more points dropped could be the league over as the Sevconians are consistent this year.

Interesting post
Cant answer the last question re" who" can shape and galvanise and motivate
I don't think it should be John Kennedy incidentally.

Mally, i think he would be the answer from next season. ie a 5 year manager with a new philosophy. personality . identity.

I get where you are coming from with Howe Mally, as a lot of fans are calling for him, my concern would be he hasn’t won anything, he had Bournemouth playing nice football but they weren’t hard to beat either, if he came in and played nice football, teams up here would just sit in against us and we would have the same problems we are having now . I’d def say we don’t look as sharp or fit that we have previously, maybe standards have dropped . Also Howe didn’t last at Burnley, he got homesick for the south coast . If there are to be changes, there are massive decisions ahead, lawell will have to earn his wages with this decision.

I know he just joined Forrest but I was always wanting us to give Chris Hughton a shout, I mentioned going for him before we got BR when Brighton had just lost in the playoff's.
I always liked the way he had Newcastle and Brighton playing and I think he would do a really good job up here.
