Should Pressley be sacked imminently? (1 Viewer)

Heart says no
Head says yes

Reluctant yes

My preferred choice - Paulo Di Canio money should be no object in getting him in

He played 442 for the final half hour. We were just as bad.

"If the first team lose a few along the way then so be it but the bigger picture is the future"

Are you shitting me, Paxman??
Lose a few?
The "bigger picture" is the future in the 4th tier of English football.

Yeah if Pressley were to go, Do Canio would have my vote. Or Dennis Wise.

He can't seem to motivate the team, and when that happens you are doomed, he talks a great game, but it appears to be all hot air.
The table dosent lie and neither does the win ratio, enough is enough , you can only defend the inexcusable for so long

and we lost 1-0 technically.

I know what your saying, but what if we had of started with 442? we were 3-1 down when he changed it...

No evidence that 442 would have stopped the elementary errors. Let's see whether he changes it for Saturday

No, and it's crazy to suggest he'll be sacked because: a) there's no way we can afford to sack him now and b) giving a guy a 4 year deal then 4 weeks later he's out the door would be basketcase management even by Sisu standards.

He does need to stop going on about this philosophy stuff though. You can talk about styles of play and formations for as long as you want but not if you can't do the basics. It's basic defensive error followed by basic error every single week. It's time for a flat back 4, with a further 4 infront of that and 2 upfront. Just work on being organised, rigid and difficult to beat and somehow try and stem this constant flow of goals against. It is possible to play a decent style of passing football and well organised and difficult to beat.

He seems like a lost man to me with his tactics. If he believes in his 3-5--2 or 5-3-2 whichever way round it is then surely he should stick to it as he would believe results would improve. But he tried a diff formation against Bristol then tonight he's tried another 2 different formations that can only lead to disjointed performances. Personally I'd say keep it simple it's league one not the World Cup go

Agreed on your first point. Same as if when we hit the post it would have made it 3-2, so would we have got a point?

Your second point, do you really expect him to?
