Are you Rodgers in, or Rodgers out?

[Always Next Year]

Get rid now before he starts to bring n even more dead beats than we already have.

The team he built finished 5th twice, got to late stages of two European competitions and got us an FA Cup.

And now 14th in the table with no chance of any of that next season thanks to his persistent 50 passes before the half way line tactics.

[Dr Marco]

OUT! bring some fresh ideas, some fresh blood, get rid of the dead wood

[lcfcell]

we need someone new.

Yes that's the only reason isn't it 

[norwichfox]

Just get him gone at whatever the finances are, he's not going to get better...

[Mr Weller]

I’m torn because I was firmly in the ‘in’ camp but today it looked like he’d lost the team and certainly the fans. He’s a knowledgeable coach and in lots of ways he’s done well overall but that’s not enough to change the current situation.

 

I don’t like to make snap judgments immediately after a defeat and still wonder if they’ll give him the rest of the season regardless but the danger is we go into freefall and the atmosphere becomes even more toxic. 
 

I suspect he won’t be sacked yet but another game or two like that and he’ll be gone.

I want to be Rodgers in bit I am wavering.

 

At the start of the season, I thought 60 points was the minimum acceptable.  7 would be progress.

 

We won't make 50.

 

I think that with the awful injury situation and points robbed by poor officiating (VAR has been unfit for purpose), 55 may have been acceptable. 

 

Our defending of set pieces has, in my opinion  been u professional.   Set pieces should be coachable.

 

Part of me still thinks Rodgers could do well next season.  But perhaps I am just being illogical.

But it only ever seems to rear its ugly head after we lose.

Quite often then?

[RowlattsFox]

Whilst I've said I'd keep him. This season has been a massive failure, even if we can somehow go on a bit of and end of season and finish top 10.

 

League: failure 

League cup: decent run I guess but circumstances mean failure 

Fa Cup: failure 

Europa League: massive failure 

Conference league: not sure a semi final in this rescues a poor season, not sure we were ever convincing. Rode our luck at times, just had flash backs to the Randers game where we somehow won comfortably 

 

And that's just the outcomes of competitions, not even considering manner of performances. 

 

It's been poor, can't get around that. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

It is a major flaw that he’s not been able to improve the set piece situation over the season. If anything it might have got worse.

 

He’s had a rough ride with injuries this season, and some of the results have been extremely poor (Legia away and Forest spring to mind). 
 

Is the man for a rebuild? He’s not been at a club this long, so we can’t look at his record to get any clues of what’s he’s like in year 4. I am starting to wonder like I did back in Feb whether his time is up. It does feel a Puely.

Out.

 

He can't hide behind injuries anymore. The football is crap to watch, we can't get the basics right, the squad mentality is weak and I can see his 'rebuild' consisting of a load of overpriced dross who will get us relegated and leave us in the shit financially.

Rodgers has made them weak by how he talks about them, and the club. He always makes out we are some tiny club with no money, and the players aren't as good as they think they are (I think he may have actually said that about the players once this season). Can't be nice hearing your manager say that after a string of poor results.

That's all true. We finished 5th twice when it would've been easier to get 4th though, both times !

I'm still on the fence re should he stay or go, but the football we're playing is turgid at best.

We can't keep blaming injuries etc. Look at our defending of set pieces, it's beyond a joke, if he can't sort that out, l seriously worry about next season.

I imagine he will be given until Christmas though, purely because he has the hierarchy wrapped around his little finger.

We have not won for 7 games now, we are on course to finish in our lowest position since we got promotion. Before today his stock had already dropped amongst the fans. 

Yes I'm aware of all that. But as I said - had Mendy scored today and actually even if Barnes didn't put that away winning it for us, you know as well as I do, this thread wouldn't have been started. That's all.

 

Contrary to your belief, I'm confident that we won't finish lower than 14th.

So you’re accusing people of being knee jerk? (Over an 18 month period?)

No. 

[StevieH]

There will be a rebuild over the summer and he'll be given 12 games. If no improvement he'll be gone

I take it then that you want to keep him and save the payoff money.   That's fine, see you in the Championship the season after next

 

I don't care tbh. He's the manager until he isn't. I don't make that decision so what's the point in worrying about it.

I'm not worried, just confident that he's as good as gone.

[Haywood_6]

I'm not sure I want Brendan anymore. We are really poor. Two 5th place finished and an FA Cup to thank him for but this season has been bang average. We've got no cutting edge. Every corner for the opposition is like a penalty. We need a rebuild but  his recruitment isn't exactly up to scratch either. It looks grim right now

Plays one of the three available front men  all season. Isolated. Puts all three together second half. Desperate or what?

You’re saying we shouldn’t be asking questions because of something that never happened. Go figure.

Pointless posting this after a defeat. Do it at the end of the season. 

It's already finished 

[Smiggy96]

Been woeful for 18 months now.

Blame injuries whatever there should still be a level of competition on the pitch. Even with players back we still look as poor. 
 

I don’t trust him with a rebuild either 🤯

[Thefoxman]

Literally would rather watch paint dry than watch another 90 mins of that!
