Ive just watched it and its obvious that Jimmy is feeling the pressure.

Ive been told what went on in the dressing room after the game against Catalans and based on that Im not surprised one bit by Jimmys general attitude in that interview.

Well done to Gary for trying to ask the difficult questions though.

just looking at his face on garys first line of questioning, he looks like them kids you get on saturday night tv shows, "ooh i'm being recorded and they're expecting a silly answer"

He seems to struggle to give a straight answer, unless he's able to mickey about like last year.

Gary you should've asked him how long the roller coaster is going to be out of order.

That's precisely my point. He jumps in to stop Vinnie answering a question about letting the ocach down but then shows his impatience/annoyance with Johnson.

that again comes back to what gary was asking about viewing figures for the coach/players. Whereas you may get a few snippets from the coach to pick over, generally from players you'll get stock answers, toeing the party line and ending with "putting it right this weekend".

"youve got to judge form over a number of games and if the person is still not playing to his high standards then thats when you drop them you dont drop them over one game"

unless your names Matt King obviously then you play regardless

or unless your names Kevin Penny then you get dropped during one game.

No wonder we play like we do with JL leading us. No passion, no inspiration, no enthusiasm. Watched him for several weeks now on his interviews and nothing changes.
The guys are probably sitting there waiting for him to give direction and show some enthusiasm.

And he also said he doesnt drop players after one poor game. so why drop KP????

We need a coach with passion.

The atmosphere in that room didn`t half come across as depressing, James Lowes doesn`t look as laid back now as he first portrayed when he first started doing these interviews with Gary a while ago, the "I`m a regular sort of guy that likes a laugh and a joke" seems to have long gone and has been replaced with a stare or its nothing to do with you attitude if i don`t like your questions.

Fair play to Gary with his straight to the point questions, it makes a refreshing change to hear someone being so direct.

Blimey if looks could kill you would be a dead man Gary...

The jokers mask has well and truly slipped from JL's face!

i was all for giving him a chance when it became clear we couldn't get the coach we wanted but it is becoming clearer that he is not up to the job,his attitude is questionable,his tactics predictable and he looks like nooky bear,that alone is enough to say bye bye.
top quality players(and we have some)need top quality coaching,it's the missing part of the jigsaw everyone can see except for the decision makers at the club.
we will NOT win anything until this is addressed.
