I've said it before, the appointment of another unproven head coach was a gamble and it hasn't paid off.

If my records are correct, ten times we've been behind at half time this season and we've gone on to lose every one of them.

Nice bloke but out of his depth and unable to motivate the team.

Re: Hodgson : Sat Sep 03, 2022 4:44 pm  

Ok maybe Hodgson isn't the answer. But he's not the rot that seems to envelope this club. Getting rid of him will leave the main problem in situation. Some of the players today where shameful. Never mind the coach there where beyond terrible. Hodgson isn't blameless but the rot needs sorting

Re: Hodgson : Sat Sep 03, 2022 4:50 pm  

No further Pass or Merchandise purchases from me until he is replaced, can't keep throwing money after bad and Pearson doesn't seem to want to listen to the fans, when was the last time the club held a forum or even sent us a survey?

I wouldn't mind Tony Smith to steady the ship for a year, then move to DOR and help bring in his successor.

Definitely.

Nice guy who is suited to an admin role. Not a head coach.

Why stand on the sidelines if you’re not actually going to interact with anyone?

No more assistants please

Hodgson definitely is not the answer and whilst he may not be the rot he is part of the issues we have seen for 2 seasons now. It is clear for anyone to see he is way out of his depth and just isn’t the coach to cure/sort/resolve the issues and problems.
Whilst he isn’t the one dropping balls etc he is the one that is picking the side each week and supposedly coaching them every week. To have one performance like today in a season is bad enough but the amount we have had yet again this season is quite frankly inexcusable.
Next season I just don’t see being any different as neither he, Purtill or Ellis have shown they can do the job.

There’s no way back now. The chants from the fans tell you that patience has gone. Not heard that since the Agar days.

Exactly all Hodgson did was stand there looking shell shocked, clueless and totally void of answers. I’ve watched him closely since mid part of the season and during a game he hardly communicates or directs anything or anyone. You look at other coaches and they are all constantly talking and making notes etc but Hodgson just looks like a wax work dummy. There is a real lack of direction and it starts or rather stops with him as head coach.

Agreed and unless Pearson pulls his head out the sand and pulls the plug on Hodgson he will have very little revenue coming in from the fans as they won’t be there.
I would have thought Pearson would have learnt a lesson by backing the last coache for two years too long but clearly not.
