Should Scott Go?

[ChinaBee]

this follows up the "i told a man to stand on the back post" (for MK Dons first goal) "but he didn't" - why weren't you screaming at him at the time of the corner to get on the back post? why aren't you subbing the players who aren't doing as you tell them if it is as basic as this?

unacceptable.

This is what I do with the 16 year olds on a Saturday, can be heard for miles at times

 

[shouldbee]

IMHO i think 99% down to supply. Having two neagtive players like Bean and KOC behind you for majority of season isnt going to help with supply and myles and whatever right winger AS decides to play crossing Charlies never going to be prolific with his head!!!!

Charlie's a wholehearted player but sadly lacks pace and has never been a prolific goalscorer. But it shouldn't all be down to the forwards to score, the midfield should weigh in with at least 10 a season, but our centre midfield duo is totally inaffective, Bean is just going though a difficult patch and I feel he is a decent player, O'Connor is just not good enough and should be out of the side, "most people" can see this but the stubborn Scott refuses to drop him. To be fair to O'Connor he looks like a right back trying to be a centre midfielder, one of the key positions...

Rubbish. Kevin O'Connor is good enough and - last night aside - has been one of our best performers this season. He needs someonme creative alongside him.

Ok,get off the computer ,it isnt yours is it ?You've been told that before.It just looks a bit like the one you used to have at home,and you get confused.Dont abuse other peoples logins on here. Plus dont get angry and throw a wobbly as you'll only be given more medication .Find a nurse and go back to your room.If you are feeling better at tea time maybe they'll let you out again for a bit.

This just made me laugh out loud in the middle of the BA lounge at Dusseldorf airport
I'm now being taken to the local German loony bin....................

 

[SmiffyBee]

On the GPG so what,others not on here already have voted by not coming to games.

In my experience, the 70% of fans who go to games and are not on the GPG are a pretty conservative lot....

Well, i would suggest that unless we get at least 2 points from Plymouth and Colchester, then even our very (and commendably) loyal Board, will have to act.

So that is giving him 2 games then

IMHO i think 99% down to supply. Having two neagtive players like Bean and KOC behind you for majority of season isnt going to help with supply ....

What is a negative player ?
Are you seriously suggesting Bean and O'Connor go out each week, to deliberately lose ?

Bean is not good enough mate you are the only person so far ive found to defend him. Totally agree with you on KOC. Someone said on another post he is quality but the fact he is negative and slow. Often we get caught on the break and our defensive midfield captain is lugging behind somewhere. He is far from inspirational and far from good.

[hatfieldbee]

I like this and agree The squad is not the worlds best but i think someone else could get more out of them than AS can. Its almost like he needs to got to coaching school or something and learn some new ideas as he only seems to have one.

Any ideas who? To sack a manager, you have to have a better replacement lined up to make sense of such a change. In my opinion, for what it is worth, all the names mentioned on here - MA, Holdsworth and Magilton seem to be the main candidates, all have negatives attached to them - lack of experience, same long ball game etc etc. I was an AS in man, but even I've gone over the fence to bee a doubter now. I'm sure the Board will have acces to the LMA list of out of work managers, which I suspect is quite long!

A negative player imo is someone who makes backward runs and passes when they could be forward rund and passes. A capatain that isnt insperational and dosnt rallie his team when we need it!!! Misplaces the passes that are so often backwards, takes control of the ball and is so slow to react if often dis-possessed. Of course they dont go out to lose but at the moment we certainly dont look like were going out to do anything than scrape the odd draw.

Maybe Pardew?? I know its a big change but its a vital one. Like you i was AS in and would love him to turn it around but i cant see it myself!!!! He is acting like a man out of ideas!!! At Aldershot he brings on a proven goalscorer who he signed to i assume score goals and he puts him on the right wing????????? At this point of a game dont you throw everyone up front?? 7 minutes to go away at aldershot and brings on a goalscorer to play on right wing??? Mentallist!!!!!

Again, possible baggage, after his alleged misdeamours at Soton - lets bee clear, they were only rumours, but is there smoke without fire? As a football man, however, a good choice IMO.

I'll try one more time with you, you post but never listen and NPB hates that.

We have a big budget, we are languishing with the sides at the bottom of the league and seem to be getting worse. We are probably a worse side than we finished last season with even though we have been on a spending spree, GP is silent apart from booing at the end of games and a lot of ST have packed it in. Our manager blames the players after every game and the football is rubbish, I don't think we are a hoof side, I don't know what sort of side we are.

He is not a miracle worker on a small budget, only you and a few others think that. We are not having a very good season and some think we should be showing signs of something rather than regressing into a bad side fighting relegation.

I work in politics. Watching Andy Scott struggle at the moment reminds me of watching Gordon Brown as he led the Labour Party to defeat in the last election.

I think Andy is, in being manager of Brentford, where Gordon Brown was about 18 months out from the General Election. He (Andy Scott) thinks his way is the only way, blames other members of his squad for not following his instructions – as an aside I wonder how many mobile phones AS has broken by throwing them around in fits of fury – and refuses to change his ways.

You have to have a certain amount of arrogance to be a football manager, and for that matter to be Prime Minister, but you simply can’t succeed in politics or football if you are not able to take people with you, convince them of your cause and enjoy loyal support.
To be successful you don’t need to be liked, but you do need to be respected. As Gordon Brown entered the last months of his Premiership it was clear that several key players on his team had lost faith in him and wouldn’t back him. I think this has happened to AS.

Its all well and good claiming that you are the best manager (or Prime Minister) to solve a crisis, rage that that people around you don’t listen to what you say, and stubbornly stick with your policies even when people all round are pointing out that things aren’t working. However if you do get to that stage you have failed and there is no way back, whatever you attempt to do to try and rectify matters

AS needs to get out now, with his reputation still intact. He is young; he will get another job in football (as will Gordon Brown in politics, probably running the World Bank or something) and will make a success of that job. I have been a loyal supporter of AS but now say to him please go now, and go honourably. You will be respected and admired for doing it. Don’t hang on like Gordon Brown did and take the whole team down with you.

people told john major to go but he fought his corner, called westimster's bluff and won an election whilst neil kinnock (my neighbour in ealing and a nice bloke) was planning his victory march to the sound of queen.

Lack of quality andy ? who,s the moron who signed those players ? Everyone is to blame except himself , he,s persisted with a crap midfield and wonders why results hav,nt been better.
Go now please , i can,t watch that crap anymore. Plymouth was a must for me this season but wont bother now .

Elimination from the FA Cup was probably the best thing that could have happened.

After two lengthy cup runs, one of them still in progress, the team have played 24 games in 14 weeks, a punishing two-games-a-week regime that no other team in the country has had to sustain (and which is due to continue until the new year). I suspect that several members of the team are running on empty.

What's depressing is not the team's current form, which is understandable, but the baying of the pack determined to bring Scott down.

The season is barely a third of the way through. With the gap between the leading and the trailing groups of teams in L1 narrower at this stage than it's been for years, there is still everything to play for.

Instead of slagging off this or that player, perhaps supporters should be thinking of getting behind the team. That includes the manager.

[Robi Bee]

I too have been a big fan of AS over the past couple of years, not just for the promo from L2 but generally as a decent ambassador and face of the club. He is rated outside of BFC in footballing circles, no question.

What a shame then that all has gone t**s up this year. I think a certain arrogance has set in follwoing promotion and a decent finish last year. I'm really shocked at how piss poor the side has become after the pre-season hype about the squad. And actually, if we;re going to sit in the middle of L1, like so many seasons before, let's at least do it trying to play passing football.

Instinct tells me AS has got until around turn of the year for a massive improvement before he gets told or quits beforehand. What concerns me is that in his recent interiews he implies he is running out of ideas......that really is the end of the road.

Question is, who do you get? The grass aint always greener. Magilton would be good but doubt we could attract him. But if AS is replaced, whoever comes in, dear God please get BFC playing football again.

Hello Nick

 

[paulj]

Having been only to a couple of home games this season, Oldham and MK Dons how unlucky am I, but listened to Bees player for the majority of the games, if feel I have some contribution to make to make so hear goes.

The football we are playing is awful no wonder we had the 3rd lowest home gate in League 1 on Saturday, Supporters are not going to part with £20 hard earned cash to watch the style of football which is on display. To me we have only a Plan A which is give the ball to Weston as much as possible to try and create things, if this is not ppening everything goes out of the window as we have no Plan B we therefore just hoof the ball from back to front as quickly as possible.

We are totally lacking some creative midfield players who can open up defences and create chances for CM.

Our manager seems tactically inept, I think he is not getting the best out of our squad, which on paper seems pretty good.

I would cut our losses with our present management team, and get Jim Magilton in, who has been brought up on playing attractve football for Ipswich and also pretty good as their Manager. He would in my opinion get the best out of our squad, and hopefully our gates and league position would vastly improve.

How would you know ?
Please, please give it a rest you're not a supporter. Many like me are real supporters, many of us have invested £400 in a season tickets and have to watch this awful, ugly football week in week out.

I am 100% behind the team. The most important thing now is the future of Brentford Football Club and Scott should no longer be part of that.

I do listen, but I don't agree. We do not have a big budget, we are not Leeds United. If we were Leeds in this position, calling for the manager to be sacked would be understandable. OK we're not doing fantastic but it's not sackable territory at all.

I have been to 9 games this season, including Bournemouth home a couple of weeks ago and Aldershot last night.

I'd consider sacking the manager if and when we got relegated. We put our faith in him by giving him the budget for a full season so he deserves to be given the full season, we can judge him then.

With comments like these, its no wonder football managers last on average less than 2 years in post. The bloke had 3 great seasons, doesn't he deserve some loyalty and forebearance? Apparently not, you lot are happy to take all the success and as soon as the going gets tough you reach for the shotgun.

If AS does get the sack I will write to him and apologise for this ungrateful negativity, stress that not all fans want him out, and would consider stop watching Bees.

 

[wanderer paul]

What a load of waffle!!

Maybe Phil holder should've been kept on? What about butcher? Would you have given him the whole season and seen us relegated to non league? Do you seriously think we can accept being relegated to league 2 again? Don't make me laugh.

Football is a results business, all managers know that, if they fail to deliver then they go, plus the style of 'football' AS is employing is bloody horrible!!

Im so glad you are not on the board. That makes no logical sense at all. So even if Scott had us bottom all season, losing week in week out you would still let him finish the season until we were relegated?

blunstone - I find you really confusing! Not having a go, just sometimes seems like you agree with both sides of the argument at the same time...

And hypa123 - all rubbish about attending games aside, can you really not see what some people are trying to say? After all, there's plenty of eloquent explanations of why people aren't happy on here, and you never seem to engage with them for me, just pop up every now and then and suggest we're all somehow stupid and/or misguided...

I never boo the team, never have, and would never boo Scott. That, for me, is getting behind the team - in the ground. Having a negative opinion on our manager, and expressing it on here is not incompatible with that position.

 

[rwBee]

I give up.

You all think we are a club in crisis, that AS is a useless manager and that we're a sleeping giant that ought to be in the promotion places (and would be, but for AS)

Well I don't agree, but no amount of argument seems to be getting through. Nothing else to say really except I hope he stays, after everything he achieves he deserves support while we go through an indifferent spell.

 

[Chipper]

Football is a results business, all managers know that, if they fail to deliver then they go

Sorry, please remind me of our recent form. 1 league defeat in how many and a loss in the FA Cup.
If we continue to lose then I doubt AS will expect to stay but in a results business he's not done too bad recently.

Mate, I really don't think that's what people are saying at all. It's been said again and again - I think everyone would be much more supportive if we were in the position we were in, and the team looked like they were moving forward, building towards something, in fact ANYTHING. No one thinks we're Leeds, but neither should we be happy being a minnow.

I believe the football side is in crisis :yes:

I believe AS hasn't a clue how to change his style of play (hoofball can work sometimes, but its not good on the eye) and to change the system of play when we need to.

Just look at Doncaster, S****horpe, Blackpool and reading as what can be achieved.

Sorry, please remind me of our recent form. 1 league defeat in how many and a loss in the FA Cup.
If we continue to lose then I doubt AS will expect to stay but in a results business he's not done too bad recently.

But, over the whole season we're in what - 19th? And the last 5 games consist of a loss to Aldershot, a horrible game against MK, a flukey draw against Muff, a horrible home draw to Aldershot and a freak against Exeter. Doesn't do much to change my mind.

It works both ways.

I think most supporters DO have a good sense of proportion re our aspirations (certainly untill we get a new stadium) , but only a nutter would accept relegation back to oblivion.

GET REAL you defenders of this crisis

We've struggled to pick up results. Our play has been atrocious. AS can't change his gameplan, he plays players out of position, he makes odd substitutions and he can fall out with players. The league cup and fa cup games are usually 'fun', which they were, but the league is important. Don't say AS won MoM either, we know the results show the team did well, but it wasn't very inspiring.

There is only so long you can play sh1t and get results. Its clear that we have run out of luck (strange to think we have been lucky but there you go) Everyone knows how we play and its just so basic. We wont get results long term if this is the way we gonna play, we will win the odd one here or there becuase we have good players but over the course of the season we will continue to do poorly. Scott out im afraid.
