Can Jol turn it around ?

[CorkCity]

I doubt it, a visit to Mo's office is due for his formal warning before getting rid by Christmas.

[Whiteroom]

I seriously hope you're joking.

[finnster01]

I do not care if he is joking or not, but if you worked for me and performed at this level, the pink slip would be waiting for you in the in-box.

Jol can't even beat an egg.

Looks to me like Jol has taken the wrong approach with the team, trying to implement his changes in one massive lump instead of staggering them. By the time we get things right we could be totally screwed already. May help if some players turn up and actually give his tactics a chance of looking good, we could probably play any formation at the moment and look mediocre right now

Not sure how he is doing things too quickly, most of the team is the same.

He has brought in Senderos in defence, and a left back (as Salcido wanted out), but he seems to be trying to bring in Ruiz and Grygera fairly slowly.

The team is too old and too slow, so he has to do something.

A case of damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in my mind.

[elgreenio]

I say team, I mean tactically, asking people to play this free flowing stuff when we've been playing rather systematically for a few seasons.

I suppose three regimes with three contrasting styles in three years might have something to do with the current seemingly ramshackle approach. If MAF does ask for a quiet word I think the Club would implode so lets give him some time ......... lets say three years.

If Jol knows what he's doing I'm a Dutchman 063.gif

Oh good grief.

Give the man some time.

If every manager was fired for slow starts or poor runs of results then the average tenure would be 6 months.

Thank God we have one of the more enlighted club owners in the league. He doesn't interfere inthe day-to-day, and is not one for knee jerk reactions.

I don't think Tigana would have the same impression  :005:

well, the substitutions against Twente was just wrong.   Substitutes is about changing the game ..

The substitutes did change the game .... for the worse.

[Jimpav]

I'm sure he can.

We've still got a run of winnable fixtures before Christmas and our matches against the top 4 are all at home (bar Chelski who we normally nick a point off).

We will be fine.  Every year it is the same thing with a new manager.  Hodgson, Hughes,,, they all took awhile to get going.  Jol is no different and i think he will show us the most attractive football Fulham has ever seen if we are patient.  Get behind him!

[Lighthouse]

Yeah well lets ignore the early days, fiddle with ourselves while Fulham burns comments and focus on the real problem. You don't win anything with a change of strip. Black shorts are black shorts and not white shorts with a black stripe down the side. Until we rectify the real problem we will struggle. The Fulham gods have spoken. Change our shorts.

So we have been short changed ... Boom Boom

[Edwatch_Winston_Malone]

Yes and I believe he will...

[alfie]

I remember very well when old red nose joined manure, he had a terrible start was close to being sacked, correct me if i am wrong but i think he may have done all right.

we had chances to score last night that was not bad management, it was bad finishing. Bringing Senderos on was trying to sure up a defence that was starting to struggle, get a goal if we can but at least keep the draw.

[Berserker]

I personally don't care if they wear bikinis as long as they get the ball in the other teams goal, and after MAF putting the MJ statue at the club i doubt if the media will be surprise!
