How we laughed when LEEDS employed Dave Hockaday ,we could not believe they would employ somebody who had managed 3 leagues lower ,well that is what we have done ,lets hope he lasts longer and has better results than Hockaday had at Leeds

I like Siewerts positivity and the way he conducts himself but tactically he is dreadful. Square pegs in round holes, players on the bench who should be the future (Bacuna namely) and a complete lack of defensive structure. Wagner had the respect of the players and really was a figurehead for the club. I just don't see that with Jan. It wouldn't surprise me if he is a cheap stop gap to get us through to the end of the season. The appointment made no sense. No experience, no track record and considering the Wagner blueprint had been ripped up there was no sense in going for 'continuity'. I like the guy but like other fans I don't want to waste a pre season and transfer window with a guy who has shown us nothing up to now.

After today I think it'll be a big ask for him yo turn this all round now. The only thing i can say to defend him is there aren't his players. As a couple have stated. If he has lost the dressing room is his plan to offload all these players?? We all know this will be difficult to do.

Can any of the happy clappers give us some positives to cling to, you know little nuggets to suggest something, anything that jan has improved? There must be something but me personally I can’t think of a single one. Come on jan fans, don’t just tell us we’re talking shit, prove it. Tell us why jans the man. I can think of a couple. We've gained more points and scored more goals in Jan's first ten games than Dave's last ten.

Farke had done well at Lipstadt, got them promoted twice, then went to Dortmunds 2nd team. Siewert got sacked by a 4th tier side for having them in the relegation zone, went to Dortmund and now hes gone back to his relegation days. Can add to the fact that Farke had a substantial career and understanding, Siewert didnt have one tbh. Whos he shagging at Town to get this job? I dont really think he was the right man, personally wasnt joyed, but i wasnt with Wagner. After 5 or so games, i liked Wagner and i liked his thought process and how he changed us. I still dont like JS after more than double that That’s fair enough. He still deserves a clean slate next season, if it’s bad after a couple of months then get rid, we should be looking at challenging play-offs next year at least. Agree we should be challenging for the play offs at least, but if he recruits whoever and whatever, then has us in a horrendous position, then what next? Get a manager in, give him January and then we could be looking at staying up. Its dicing a bit in my view with JS, he has had time to show and adapt a new way with Town, but hasnt shown anything. I would go out from now until the end of May and be looking at someone with good man management skills, a motivator and a style of play he can bring to change us up a bit. I feel we stick with him and its a slippery slope. Hope im proven wrong i really do, but stats dont lie and i think it will all come to a head, if he stays, by October.

Wagner could’ve made us score more goals if he’d chosen to play kamikaze football without any regard for goals conceded. Tactically we are all over the place. His own players or not, he isn’t displaying any sort of tactical nous.

Why do you think we should be challenging for the play offs We massively underinvested in the summer We are on track to be the second worst team in Premier League history Last season’s relegated teams are 4th, 13th and 15th Unless we make significant investment in the summer I can’t see is / don’t expect us to be anywhere near the play offs

Lot's on Norwich fans wanted Farke out but he's turned things round and they look a shoe in for promotion. No idea if JS can do the same but at least he deserves a transfer window and the first half of next season, none of these players are his signings.

We need to bring in and recruit some players to build around them and a manager that knows what he’s doing. If it’s got right, yes we should be challenging for the play offs. There aren’t any great shakers in that league if we play the right way, recruit well and install a manager with good know how. Stay as we are and no, play offs are miles away. All 3 that went down had a fair load of big names players that left and apart from Albion, that’s hammered them. I can’t say we have one big name player if they leave we are doomed as the latter 2. Keeping Grant is key, Mooy is brilliant don’t get me wrong, but he is replaceable.

I’ve said it before but Norwich fans were saying the same thing about Farke after his first few months. Let’s see who he brings in and where we are come Christmas time... Farke had done well at Lipstadt, got them promoted twice, then went to Dortmunds 2nd team. Siewert got sacked by a 4th tier side for having them in the relegation zone, went to Dortmund and now hes gone back to his relegation days. Can add to the fact that Farke had a substantial career and understanding, Siewert didnt have one tbh. Whos he shagging at Town to get this job?I dont really think he was the right man, personally wasnt joyed, but i wasnt with Wagner. After 5 or so games, i liked Wagner and i liked his thought process and how he changed us. I still dont like JS after more than double that Having seen him come out of the stadium at the end of the game and be met by his wife/girlfriend and young baby, I would suggest he doesn’t need anyone else 😉 To be fair he did look, understandably, mightily unhappy and annoyed but very gamely signed lots of autographs and posed for many selfies with the waiting fans. As others have alluded, he’s come in at the most difficult time when relegation was more or less nailed on, the players are at an all time confidence low with the results and DW/CB going and some players already having their eye on a move away from a sinking ship! His management style is obviously completely different from that previous and it’s hasnt gone down well with some of the established players, but, and it is a big but, he’s got to be given time and a pre-season to establish the proper rapport and tactics to develop his own style. To get rid now, in the toughest league in the world is, IMO, short-sighted. He’s got to be given the chance and judging now is rather harsh. Give the guy a break and judge him with a full set of players who want to play for him and with some of his own recruits, as well as getting rid of some of the deadwood. That said, it was pretty dire today apart from the tiny spell at the beginning of the second half where things looked a little more optimistic, but then as usual, it all went pear shaped 😕

No idea if JS can do the same but at least he deserves a transfer window and the first half of next season, none of these players are his signings. Farke had more experience and, despite what we might claim, is working under an excellent DoF who we could really have done with keeping. We have a guy younger than me (I’m young, OK!) going into the biggest summer/season of our lifetimes with Julian Winter to guide him. I’d expect Summer to be a bit of a circus and we need a wise old ringmaster to protect us from the lions and the clowns.

In a nutshell, we all wanted lightening to strike again when Siewert was appointed and show some quality and an up turn. However, I think Norwich got that second lightening strike with copying us in signing Farke and the Dortmund II pipeline has spluttered when we turned the tap on again.
To me the rumours of fall outs seem to indicate that Siewert has struggled with the man management elements needed for dealing with players on Premier League (even our lower end Premier League) salaries. These are not lower division or U23 players who you can mould more forcefully as they want to succeed but established pros who know they can go somewhere else and get good money. Blaming the players publicly, even if they have been crap, which they undoubtedly have been, generally doesn’t get results and end well. Just look at Mourinho, in particular when he lambasted Shaw publicly who ironically looks a different player under Solksjaer.
The other issue is that if you keep blaming your players publicly it could affect transfers. If you’re a player thinking of a move to a Championship team who have just crashed out of the Premier League and repeatedly hear the manager blaming the team in interviews does it encourage you to join the team (obviously money talks but)? Players also talk and those leaving could be negative in the press or in private with other players.
I’m my view Siewert needs to take a step back, swallow his pride a little, start to keep any disagreements behind closed doors and work them through in private, and start trying to work with the players as a unit. That is the least the fans expect after Wagner got everyone pulling in the same direction after the Sweden trip to miraculous effect in our promotion season. If he can’t do that then I worry that things won’t turn around on the pitch and where we’ll be by Christmas.

I think it would be a good idea to wait and see what develops in the close season instead of the bullshit that is spouted on here about the coach etc. typical of some so called fans,. NEXT SEASON WILL BE TOUGH AND EVERYONE IN THE CLUB KNOW THAT . BUT lets see how it all pans out instead of the vitriol pointed at individuals.

There must be something but me personally I can’t think of a single one. Come on jan fans, don’t just tell us we’re talking shit, prove it. Tell us why jans the man. I can think of a couple. We've gained more points and scored more goals in Jan's first ten games than Dave's last ten. we have had more shots, more on target.. we have defended just as badly, whats this about Wagner's defensive plan?? everyone get back and then stand around like a bad smell whilst ball watching?? We are still doing it but the 12 game losing 'streak' killed this squad, not the last few games.. Jan may or may not be the 'man' but the ridiculous idea that he or anyone else could 'turn round' the total and utter shite we were watching whilst we still had a chance, is fucking unbelievable.. impossible will take me a couple of games, miracles might take me a month??? ffs... he may well in the short time he has had improve a couple of players in certain areas the rest are not really that interested in improving in a relegated team.. miracle workers ?? fucking find one for us or just have a guess as to how they 'might' have done etc etc etc.. still believe too many were fooled by results where we lost by a goal.. the simple truth is we were never going to win those games, never looked like doing so and eventually, in most of em we helped the opposition to score and win em, they were dire to watch and it made the result(having watched the whole sorry 90 minutes) harder to take when people really thought we might be a player or so away from turning it round.. get a striker was the call, we did not make any fucking chances for a striker to score with.. we did miss one or two over the 12 games but were similarly lucky at the other end more often.. if you never look like winning games or never play to win, its the premier league and chances are, as proved, you wont..

The players clearly don’t buy into it, we put square pegs in round holes and the results and score lines tell it as it is. I said when Wagner left, be careful what you wish for.... marginally more goals scored but that’s now 5 at Chelsea, 4 at West Ham and today where let’s be honest it could have been 7!!! We are appalling - no leadership, no direction, players all over the place and a complete lack of ideas. Today’s performance was abysmal - I’m all for keeping players who want to leave out, but stankovic in centre mid?! Mooy out on the flanks for long spells? Loewe out on the left flank with Durm behind? Pritchard floating around anywhere and contributing fuck all? Who thinks up these tactics? It’s just a smorgasbord of absolute rubbish! As for hamer - sadly he’s shot! No confidence, no belief and needs to rediscover himself elsewhere - too many here won’t have him, however much he may improve.....too much baggage and some are revelling in his misery at present. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think this man will take us anywhere near promotion again.

He may not be the man, but he deserves a reasonable amount of time to prove himself. And with his own players. I am not saying Jan is without some blame (I didn't agree with his starting line up today), but this season had become a car crash long before he arrived. It would have taken some effort to turn things around. Some might have given up on him already, and in the long-term they may be proven right, but I'm prepared to give him more of a chance. He has a lot to prove, but he should be given the opportunity to try. He has a massive job in front of him, and we desperately need strengthening with the right players in the summer, but we need to show more patience. We are currently out of our depth and in a downward spiral. Now is not the tim to judge. The time to pass judgement will be after the summer and into next season when we should be far more competitive in a division where the disparity in resources is not so stark. Too many minds have already been made up. And its far too soon for that to be happening.

Bang on I’m afraid and i think dean would have to be an idiot to let this manager preside over a very important pre season. I think hes he’s on borrowed time and I’m also worried what top 6 sides will potentially do to us after seeing more of the same clueless shite today. We’re utterly clueless, I’ve no idea what game plan or formation he is trying to use and we’re about ten games in. It’s like eleven strangers every week, he clearly hasn’t been able to get his ideas across. Looked a silly appointment on paper and it’s proving to be, The clubs recruitment in every area has been dire, 3 year contract for hamer being the cherry on top.

There's a few things that have worried me since he was appointed.
Firstly, going back to Dortmund reserves for a manager smacks of wanting lightning to strike the same place twice. It rarely works.
Then there's this scorched earth policy of his. I'm all for showing players who is the boss but we are going out on to the pitch with square pegs in round holes as the round pegs have all been told to fuck off. I looked at that team today and knew it would be an awful performance.
Lastly, appointing a guy in January, when we were pretty much doomed, was a real poisoned chalice. Ending the season on 14 points, which is looking pretty nailed on now, taking beatings right, left and centre, with players falling out on the pitch - he starts next season with a huge amount of baggage. Might have been better waiting till the summer.
All in all it just doesn't feel right.

And its far too soon for that to be happening. we scraped through last season with a manager and team that were or appeared to be on the same page.. the players do not look 'together' and have not since november time.. Its been a while coming but a lack of team ethic was definitely going to kill us if it appeared.. I have not made any decisions on the new bloke, the circumstances prevent any worthwhile thoughts as of yet.. to those footballing geniuses who can and have, crack on.. if he and the club prove you wrong you win anyway...you can always 'see' his methods and style if we start next season well.. From what I 'understand' of his previous ideas, hard work seems to play a big part in it, billing, mounie and a few others were never going to like that and unfortunately none of them are actually talented enough to make a big difference without it..

Wagner came in and it was evident he had a plan immediately.......it clearly had its limitations but it was a plan. What is the current one? I’m genuinely stunned by how bad we’ve become....... Be honest- Leicester could have had 7 Palace 4 Or 5 Bournemouth 4 or 5 West Ham got 4 That’s just the last few weeks - we knew we were the poorest team in the league months ago, but we are getting worse....and quickly.

If they are not playing for one bloke why play for another, you have already decided its over and you are moving to where your 'huge' talent will be better appreciated and remunerated?? the circumstances here are quite unusual, we may still be the second worst team to ever compete??? what about that are you and others missing in the equation that has the only answer that Jan is shit and we will always be shit if he stays??

I’m willing to give him more time
He’s inherited a squad with significant limitations
We’ve lost 18 of our last 20 games. That’s shambolic
And significantly underinvested in the summer by the Board - They didn’t help him in January
Zanka, Depoitre and Billing heads clearly went at Christmas
Again all not helpful
But he has to learn quickly. He’s lost 9 out of 10. It’s not great by any means
We are scoring less after Wagner than before. The only thing which has changed is we are conceding more than half a goal more a game
Mooy has to play in the middle
I think he wants to play 433. We don’t have players to do that. So trying to make 4231 work but again we don’t have wide players for that
Which is why Wagner went to the defensive 5311/3511
If the Board don’t get a DOF in ASAP to work with him and a decent budget for next season he’ll struggle
My expectations for next season will be determined in the summer but as it stands it seems mid table & safe would be a good outcome
