He really is clueless. Every game, negative, boring tactics. Can't pick the right team, can't make right subs, can't motivate. Any better than Thorn???

Not looking forward to next season already. We must be the only team in the division with no pace in the team.

Yea he blamed the pitch after the Brentford game as well, the pitch isn't 'conducive' to the passing game. Even had the commentators copying him and using the word 'conducive' today.

In Pressleys eyes we were either outstanding or the pitch was to blame.

He's had a handful if games. The squad as I said all along is poor. Thorn had a season and a half. When he gave interviews it was like dealing with the village idiot.

Unlike thorn this guy will walk into another job. He has to be given some time.

Should have played hoof ball today, no chance of passing the ball. No plan B, we were dire today, one of the worst perfomances of the season. To think i did a 500 mile round trip to watch that shit.

Tbf, he said he didnt want to use it as an excuse........but went on to use it as an excuse. Claimed it should have been called off after 50 minutes. Would he have thought the same had the scoreline been the other way round? I think not.

Why did he only make 1 sub? And why was that sub a player we don't even own and hasn't scored a league goal all season?

Guys before having a go at the guy you should see the full interview he also said that the players weren't good enough and although the pitch was poor its not an excuse. He said that he expects next two games to be better performance.

Biggest disaster of an appointment since Coleman. Shame as it was such an important one. I would suspect we'd have more points now with Carsley in charge. Amazing how two big centre backs we've had as managers are so meak and it's reflected in their teams.

You have to give a new manager time new ideas take time to work its not magic. This is the problem with football now managers don't even get 10 games if they aren't winning every single one. Give him some god damn time. Who can score goals in our team apart from baker ATM? Nobody it's not just his fault it's the players.

Surely if the pitch wont allow a 5 yard pass then there isnt another option?

I don't want to write him off already, but I'm not impressed one bit. What ever happens with Pressely the next manager needs to be a forward. We always seem to play more attractive, attacking football with a forward in charge.

this is pre season for us

he cant be judged on this

he has next season, where if he doesnt come up to scratch we will let him go

or if he does well, he will be off anyway

lets not moan about him, he will be gone soon whatever happens

If he wants to play slow build up, high posession football, then the squad needs a major overhaul

Can't judge him yet but i do have a gut feeling he's not the man to take us forward. Got that been here before feeling and the quotes after the games annoy me just admit we were rubbish
