Dickov....

[Donnyjim]

Blank....

Fill in the words guys!

[redbrez]

Genius
With what he has to work with

[redbrez]

The manager has my support
But the silence from the board and imaginary budget
Is another story

[Jenny]

Out

[dickos1]

If we have shite like this after every defeat then it's gonna be a long old season.
Get a grip

[DonnyNoel]

Don't think he can be judged on this season due to the chaos of the pre season but think tactically he's nowhere near good enough to secure championship security in x years time.

[Iberian Red]

Some monkeys made a mess of pre season for two years.  Pity, if only they had the best interests of the club at heart

[MrWoodySir]

Inconsistent at best, a disgrace to the profession at worst.

[Chris Black come back]

Has presided over 29 league defeats since appointment as manager. In both Championship and League One with us his record is almost exactly one of losing a game in every two.

Apologies for the repetition, but he has only ever won consecutive league games on one single occasion since his appointment.

[Chris Black come back]

He could come good. There are mitigating factors certainly. But for us to get out of this league we are going to have to win games and win them reasonably consistently.

He has been in charge for 57 league games. We have managed to string together two wins in a row on one occasion.

This may change. It could change in the next two games. The evidence suggests this is unlikely though.

[coventryrover]

i just dont think he has what it takes.  Consistently hesets the team up wrongly.

Nice guy though

[Retdon1]

Should of gone end of last season

[dickos1]

And that's why people can't get behind him now cause they're still upset he's still here.

[besty]

So do you blame the players or him for recent performances?

[coventryrover]

bit of both but I am basing my view over the year.  Thats enough time

[dickos1]

Why would we need to blame anyone? We've won 2 out of 3 games

[StocktonRover]

I'm beginning to think it is time for Dickov to go now.
I've accepted that he has had 2 pre-seasons messed up and has been playing catch up with squad building, but its other things that are getting me to question his ability now.

We have some decent performances but nowhere near consistent enough.
Tactically I think he is naive. From the first minute to the last they were passing their way through our defence at will on the L/H side but he didn't change anything to counter it.
Some, maybe even most managers have an ability to see if something isn't working and alter the formation or personnel during the game - but PD doesn't seem able to do this.

If he isn't shown the door I won't turn on him as he isn't setting out to lose matches, and if he is shown the door I have no idea who would replace him.

I think you summed Dickov's plight here perfectly. His body language during games reflects the above (little boy lost). It's time, or has been since May.

[DRFCTom]

Apologies if I'm being thick here but why would you take de val and forrester off???? De val and forrester had to stay on with main and bennett coming on for keegan and maybe tyson.

[Donnybax]

De val shouldn't have come off but forrester certainly should have done. He was pure shite

[besty]

Forrester was terrible today and id have taken him off earlier, tyson never stopped running hes been immense, so you are a bit thick (joking)

[PDX_Rover]

An odd one really. Agree with Stockton's post above.

[coventryrover]

I agree with Stockton but there are plenty of managers out there

[Wello]

26% win percentage in the league since he took charge, at Oldham it was 28%, stats dont lie, any other club would get shut. tactically and defensively just not good enough. sides work us out far to easily, only my opinion.

[dickos1]

Win percentage is a crap stat,
U could win 1 game and lose 19 or u could draw 15 and lose 5 but your win percentage wouldn't be as good

[Chris Black come back]

He loses every other game we play. 50% lose rate.

[dickos1]

Ppg is the only stat that means anything

[Donnyjim]

Sorry dickos1, PD is pants as a football manager. I think deep down you know it pal? ;-) time to de-spectacle my friend.

If you can spell have, I'll agree with you

That's your opinion mate
