cafcfan 1990. Did you say we improved when Jackson took over from Adkins? Well I suppose you could argue that, as he had a little bounce at the beginning but come on, the football was dire, the tactics were naïve and didn't suit the players we had. I concede that Boyer improved us after Robinson, but ultimately he ran out of ideas as well. Like I said, it's a bloody mess
The fact that we were 23rd when jackson took over and we finished 14th suggests to me that we improved.
Suggests to me Jackson didn't really improve us at all. We were rubbish and so was Jackson at managing this team.
Let's not rewrite history:
Adkins first 13 games this Season were: W2 L8 D3= 9 points
From when Johnnie Jackson picked the team at Sunderland, his first 13 League results were: W7 L3 D3= 24 points from 13 matches.
And that was from 22nd place.
Thomas Sandgaard has made his decision and he has that right but let's get the facts correct.
It's not being pedantic to point out that JJ was successful in getting Cafc to mid table, he couldn't get them higher for a variety of reasons including injuries and Fraser and Aneke not being fit enough to hit the ground running after joining the club which cost Cafc at least 6 more points if not more.
The points total was disappointing once he was named as manager but he was picking the team as caretaker so at least lets not erase those results from the history books.
I'm not erasing anything just pointing out that Jackson achieved 1 point more against the teams Adkins managed to get 9 points from. Neither were good enough.

I thought Adkins started well and was 1 point from playoffs including a 6-0 win at Plymouth and wins against Lincoln , Hull, and Sunderland.
Jackson first 7 games were good also including the Bristol Rovers game that he managed after Bowyer left.
Yes both started extremely well, and by well I mean what we should expect us to be achieving in this division.
Was mainly illustrating the point that Jackson didn't improve us if you judge the results he got Vs the same teams we played in the first 13 games under Adkins.
Ok if that is the case then I'm getting alarmed now. If we look at the stated aims there just ain't enough managers or coaches that are available or would be interested in the job to warrant weeks of interviews ! How many actually feasible possibilities are there do you think ? 7 maybe 8 ? How long would it take you to interview them, narrow it down to second interviews ? And appoint. 7 - 10 days perhaps ?
I'm starting to think something is going pearshapped
Prince Andrew has put himself forward for interview apparently, Royal Borough and all that. Apparently he is good with the youngsters but might need to brush up his media training. Most of all of course he hates The Palace

Informative as ever

Well that sounds promising. Apparently Dave from the Dog & Duck said he's willing to give it a go.
