I'm not saying I'm his biggest fan but where were you last Saturday Pubteam? What did Flynny do wrong last Saturday that needed your wrath
We're you on here praising his decision making just as quick as you were tonight calling him a clueless bas**rd??
I wasn't doubting your attendance chief, just your judgement.In essence then you feel Flynny got it right last week and made the right decisions, therefore he can do it is effectively what you are saying. The thing is, he isn't going to make the right decisions every week, we are not going to win every week. If he/we did, we would be winning The Champions League in 3yrs and then winning it every year

I don't rate him, so why would I be swayed on my overall opinion on him on the occasion when he makes a good decision? That'd make me fickle, and then I'd be criticised for that.

If he/we did, we would be winning The Champions League in 3yrs and then winning it every year That's what makes a good manager though isn't it? The ability to make good decisions at a better rate than others.No one is expecting the correct decisions every week, just more often than every other game with our form seemingly averaging WLWLW recently. Results are erratic and we can't string wins together, which is no surprise given that Flynn seems to get as many wrong as often as he gets it right which I don't think is good enough for promotion hopefuls.He gets some right obviously, like at Crewe. That single example doesn't prove much. A chimp would probably get a few decisions right over the course of a season by chance. Even Steve Cotterill might make a good decision or two. That doesn't mean that he'd be an ideal candidate for the managers job even though he proved that he "could do it" once.
If we do get promoted, how can we sack the manager who delivered that?Let's get to the end of the season before debating the qualities of Brian Flynn.
He seems a nice fella and genuine to all intents and purposes but a permanent manager ?.... the jury is still out for me, I've yet to be convinced.

My old workmates 9 year old grandson sits in front of me and he asked the question "when is one of our players going to shoot from the edge of the box instead of just passing it on?" I couldn't answer him can anyone else?You don't score if you don't shoot!
I wasn't at the game today, so wont comment too much. However if you are going to play Brown and Paynter together you need to give them the service, crosses in the box. They aren't going to run 30 yards from a flick-on. Was the team today set-up to give the best service to Paynter & Brown? That's where the managers' judgement comes in.
Yes he could get it right once, so with the ying and yang effect he entitled to get it wrong once.I think he's got it right more than wrong in his tenure and as said, if he gives us promotion and even gives us the title, then what are we supposed to think of him then.Like I said, I'm not saying he's the best we've had, but for me he's more than enough 'doing the business for us'
My big concern with him is his inertia on team selection.Basically, when we win, he keeps the side that did the job. When we lose, he changes. That smacks of playing by numbers.Our problem for much of the season has been having the nous or bit of the devil to break open well organised defensive sides at home. Away, we have the power and drive to hit teams on the break when we get more space. We will get chances and the issue then is sticking them away.To me, it is therefore blindingly obvious that Hume is a home-type player for this side. He does the unexpected and he gives defenders a torrid time. He unsettles defences. Paynter is more of a box player, picking up chances.So what have we done for the last 3 games? Kept Hume on the bench at home and started him away. Played Paynter at hom,e today after keeping him on the bench last Satdi.I have seen nothing from Flynn that gives me any impression that he is a tactician. And in the final analysis, that looks like costing us. The squad he inherited was far, far better than one that has picked up 12 points in the final 9 home games of the season. That is relegation home form and is simply unacceptable from a squad of the ability that ours has. The finger clearly points at the boss.
All this chuffing negative nonsense about Flynn gets on my t*its! For heavens sake, after 45 games we were only one goal, yes one miserable goal, from going up. Brentford drew this evening, so what would have been the reaction if today's score had been reversed? Best manager we've had for years? Give him 5-year contract? I could go on, but won't. Talk about fickle fans I'm going out to get pi**ed!

I've been consistent in my views on him for over a month.
