Just think for £3m a year he’s a lose lose as he’s not up to this level ... even when he gets £100m of talent added to his squad in the summer It’s been done to death already, Jokanovic didn’t sign the players at Fulham, the chairman’s son did. He may or may not be up to the Premier League but he’s got two Championship promotions on his CV. Siewert isn’t up to German 4th division standard (see his record at Rott-Wein Essen for evidence) but we thought he was capable. It was a naive and stupid appointment from the start. And who signed the players at town? Certainly not the (present) manager. Same argument. Give the poor guy a bit of slack, I’m not going all out in his defence either, I just feel he’s being kicked, repeatedly, for something he’s not necessarily responsible for. The team was gone well before he got here and I don’t think anyone would have turned it around. Let the chairman decide his future and leave the witch-hunt until he’s had the time to demonstrate what he is capable of, or not, in a situation where it’s not stacked massively against him. If the chairman, who sees far more than us and therefore is possibly the only one “qualified” to make that judgement, makes a change then fair enough. If the noises of the few on here spread to the wider fan-base though it might end up being a decision for PR reasons which would be a shame. This season clearly is hurting the club and the fans. Time for the support to stick together with the club not turn on it. One more game, then get our heads ready for next season.

The players attitude is all wrong and it’s part of the managers job to instil a competitive edge. At full time last night the players did not show how much it hurt to be humiliated. Smith was seen joking with Mane and no doubt congratulating him whilst Durm was asking for Salah’s shirt. Whilst it may hurt the supporters that we are not good enough on both the skill and effort front I have seen little from the team to show they have any pride or even realism as to how bad they have performed. When Mounie was subbed he pointed to himself as if to say you mean me, when everyone else saw that his performance was a disgrace. There needs to be a massive shift in not only personnel but also mindset if we are to really compete next year and Jan has to be seen to be instrumental in making this happen. Truthfully the prospect of a rookie manager who has lost a large raft of the supporters tearing apart Wagners squad - which previously earned promotion from the championship - is not something I’d particularly relish

Pointless thread in my opinion. He will be in charge next season and he will have learned who, from our current squad, if he can keep them, can play his style of football and is up for the challenge. Once we have sorted the wheat from the chaff in the summer we will see if he has the ability to make his style work successfully. Until we know that, and see who we have next season, the whole discussion is pointless. This for me is the problem with him, what is his style? He has said the right things but think back to when Wagner came in you saw straight away what he was going to do. I've no idea what Siewert is going to do as there is no structure to our play.

Just to flip it on its head a bit, what do people think the outcome would have been like if jan had been here at the beginning of this season. Same players (including Grant), but with his preseason his “attacking mindset” and full of confidence? Hypothetical I know but generally interested. We’d have less points than we do now. Defensively we are a shambles so would have been thumped in a lot of the games before Christmas as well. very different defending leads.. very different being attacked by a team on the break rather than having their whole team move up the pitch that we surrended.. very different approach and attitude from all the teams 8th or below in this division when contemplating how to play us.. the 'shambles' in defence now is merely indicative of a very obvious lack of care, application and concentration that came on in november and just grew..

But Wagner did not continue to play that way. As it became more important to try and stay up we got conservative football rather than the fast pressing game he started out with. That is not a criticism just the reality of his situation. JS has shown he wants to be more attacking and his sides, in general, have been. However trying to introduce a new system to a relegated and demoralised side must be very hard. In truth I think his style is still being worked on. What he will need for the Championship, or what he can get away with, will be different to now. I hope his attacking approach is maintained but it will need the club to find the right players, which is far from easy, even with parachute payments and whatever we get from the sales of our better players.

This situation is very, very different.. If you say you saw the 'ideology and the future theory of the wagner way' when we were arseholed at home by Brentford, you are either lying or able to kid yourself on your footballing knowledge/insights.. ffs lets not pretend the 'way and the light' is obvious from the start and definitely not pretend we can see doom and destruction because the squad gave up months ago and somehow the new bloke should have made a big difference.. maybe giving one of the coaches a temp position might have got a little more but Im not convinced....

Jan is up against it you’d think. No great performances to really get behind. No clear vision as to what his footballing philosophy is. Hard to know what we as fans are buying into and he’s not particularly engaging. Dean looked for the continuity to go back to Dortmund. As good a rationale as any I suppose..but it doesn’t look like a good fit right now. Does Dean trust Jan to lead the club next season after what he’s done in his 13 game interview. That’s the question. I think a big thing in people's mind is that when Wagner took over, there were signs of improvement even though we were losing, but you've got to remember, we were playing in a division so inferior to this one, and one where the gulf in quality wasn't nearly as wide as this one. The players we have are so below par for this division, there is literally zero chance of the team showing signs of improvement - they aren't good enough! I agree. I don’t think enough fans appreciate the gulf that’s erupted in the last 3-5 years especially. The problem for Jan is that we’re a lot worse. We’re not better in any department and defensively we’re inept. That’s what’s worrying me the most. The players are making mistakes that will be punished any any level.

Who could do worse? Employ pretty much any football manager from a competitive league and he’d do better, the bar is now very, very low. I think you have covered that really well. What worry's me is if Dean Hoyle does end up being here next season i fear because he has come out and backed Siewert already he wont back down. Sleepwalking 2 springs to mind. Deans backed then sacked managers before..Clark and powell. Hard to know Dean’s thoughts and why he has such belief in JS but I think both will be aware that it hasn’t remotely gone well so far...whether that’s badly enough to shake Dean’s faith we will find out quite soon.

I'm talking about when Wagner came in he still had a style you could see what he wanted to do. The results aren't the problem with Siewert it is the lack of clear style and organisation at the back, he has had more than enough time to have a system in mind for me.

No strategy emerging and the players know it. They just seem confused and we've lost all competitiveness and organisation. He says he's very proud of how they played, but I'm not. The defending was an absolute shambles, and attacking-wise we offered little despite having 3 forwards playing. To try to play 4-3-3 away at Liverpool is asking for a hiding, and it could have been worse. There's just nothing I'm seeing that persuades me he knows where he's going. (And compare this with Fulham, where Parker seems to have galvanised them.) On this evidence I'm far from optimistic about next season.

Eh? Everybody could see what he was doing when he first started at Town - relentless pressing, as high up the pitch as possible. It was in his DNA back then, the Dortmund way of playing. Pragmatism drove it out of him by the end, I'll give you that.

We will fall straight into League One like we did when we got relegated from the old 1st division all those years ago.

Pragmatism drove it out of him by the end, I'll give you that. it failed to work until he had time, his own players and the club ethos changed, we tried and failed and stopped doing it almost every other game.. the idea that attacking quickly in numbers that Jan wants just wont work however much time or changes he can make in players, training and club ethos is sort of blown out of the water given our previous experience with a new young fella in charge with new ideas and new emphasis..?? the negativety of this season seems to have pervaded the support, on here anyway.. lets get dave back and see if he can get the same squad as now running hard, pressing hard and fighting for every ball, wont work even in a league below, club needs an enema.. time, your own players and away from the stigma that he inherited, maybe give him a chance before you 'just can't see his plans or ethos' ? Im sure there is one at 5 to 3 before this lot of wasters kick off and drop into their losing mentality??? bet Wagner had one before all the games in the losing streak but either nobody was listening or the plan was to lose by as few as possible if we could not 'win' the 0-0 draw??? These players lost the will to listen and the will to run sometime ago..

At this precise moment in time you would back Fulham on making a swift return back to the Premier League. No way can we have the same optimism about ourselves.

But but but but but Fulham have spent a fortune therefore Parker has got it easy. Or maybe it’s because he’s 1. Had a decent career meaning the players respect him and 2. Actually got some idea what he’s doing. Neither of which apply to Siewert.

There are some amusing excuses on this board as to why his performance is so terrible to date. The sooner the club admits it's mistake, the better. Sent from my SM-G920F using proboards

"He's tearing apart the squad that achieved so much".
Yep. He probably will. It needs doing, whoever is in charge. That group of players who got us up & then kept us up should always hold a place in every town fan's heart & they're all individually good enough to do a great job in the championship - but as a group, if we keep them together there's only one way we're likely to leave the championship & that's down. Getting hammered week in, week out. Being hammered in the press & on social media & they've lost faith in themselves (even whilst Wagner was here).
They overachieved & that ain't sustainable.
So we sell. Get what we can (even for our best players) & rebuild, but from a position of having a much better training facility than before, a much bigger budget than before & a small core of players who are part of the current set-up forming the basis of what we build from.

Absolutely and let’s remember we were a premier league team already this season..with a year to strengthen after prem money. No way Fulham should have so many more points than us now. There’s no reason Jan couldn’t have come here United the club and any disaffected players and seen us deliver some quality performances and a few results against the teams who’re not that motivated when they played us- Everton, bourney, Palace, Brighton but we were beaten before we stepped on the pitch. Mooy on the wing, Zanka-a bonefide international class CB jettisoned, Billing our players player do the year jettisoned. Hogg as playmaker, Mooy on the wing, moonie plays for the opposition but still starts every game. It’s been a total car crash from Jan. He hasn’t got a hint right. How can we possibly go into a new season after losing 14/15?

The Parker comparison is valid, but only to a point, Fulham do have a better quality squad of players and probably, ability wise, should have been a bit better. But, from looking abject they have improved.
Town however have not, perhaps that was only to be expected. Siewert doesn't have the quality to work with and also players openly stating it's time for a move. It's not ideal for him. On the flip side though we don't look have a great shape and we also don't have a consistent pattern.
The biggest question is this though, is Siewert the leader we need? I think this is the question most of us have. Being able to positively influence people is a skill, for me that is what needs judging. If there is any doubt now he has to go. If he has shown himself to have that attribute then he's worth sticking with.
The results on the pitch are only a part of the equation really.

That's a manager's job. No reason whatsoever why he couldn't have instilled some positivity. Before he arrived it was an exciting time for the club despite relegation, a chance to properly compete, new manager etc. I wish people would stop making excuses for him!

I think Fulham are debunking this theory of being unable to motivate players who are playing in a relegated side, off the back of a long losing run and knowing many will soon be off
Ryan Babel won’t be at Fulham next year yet he’s picked and scores the winner - if he was at town it’s probable that he wouldn’t have even made the bench and instead would be sat in the stands with an “injured” sessegnon

Not even bringing into the fray last weeks or today’s result. I think I was hasty in not giving him a chance, probably due to the fact tho season has just been horrific and the worst points tally in my lifetime.
So now it’s official, this bloke has my full backing come Summr with transfers and the new season. Gonna pretend he came in over the summer, forget this season, I want to see his philosophy on football, his recruitment and his plan for us next season. I hope I’m wrong when I said he is way over his head, I genuinely hope I am made to eat my words, but for now Jan is the man and I’m a hell lot more positive we are out of that bloody league.
Championship top 6 here we come, to do it all over again and get tonked all over again 🤣

Not even bringing into the fray last weeks or today’s result. I think I was hasty in not giving him a chance, probably due to the fact tho season has just been horrific and the worst points tally in my lifetime.

Going to be a interesting summer with many changes to the squad, let’s just hope they make a better job of it than the last closed season!

I posted a thread questioning Jan/during/after the Tottenham game as I could see no patterns of play, plan or structure. After listening to Dean at the q&a and the last 2 performances, I too was to hasty in jumping to a conclusion. After all Tottenham are a Champions league finalist. I think it comes from us all hoping for a miracle instead of realising Dean had written off the season and was already planning for next season. In that context, different formations, players in then out, some not playing at all makes much more sense Especially when some players were described directly by Dean as a 'disgrace'

Siewert's final two games of the season have brought come-from-behind draws, and in difficult circumstances too. Under DW's Premier League tenure we only managed it three times. I think this speaks volumes about Siewert's philosophy - he wants to attack. We might ship a few more at the back, but we will get forward more and look to score. Look at the stats for our games since January - more shots, more shots on target, more corners. It's the polar opposite of WagnerBall and I, for one, am looking forward to seeing some attacking football at last.
