Strange that there is minimal praise for JS after the Charlton and Wrexham games.

All those who wanted to out him post Watford and gave him the pathetic "Le Shrug" nick name are notably absent currently.

There will be bad games and good games. But the vitriol spewed about a new manager was something to behold. And not in a good way.

The force of the self righteous is strong on this one…..

Vitriol? Not seen it.
People wanting him / the club to fail? C’mon
Le Shrug = clutch yer pearls and be the first to mention a certain demonstration and disparage people?? Beyond touchy!!

As others have said we shouldn’t be casting statues after wins v Charlton and monied Wrexham; much as we shouldn’t be casting aspersions after defeats.
However surely people can understand concerns with the manner of defeats where seven are conceded and a squad of kindergarten toddlers is taken to a Cup competition.

Bon chance to Julien and I hope we and he go from success to success


He’s won two against two poor teams , do it again on sat then we can hope he’s learning , esp if madson starts in a midfield we are likely to get dominated in on sat

My Dad passed away, I've been busy.

Hope this news confirms your bias.

Didn't want Marti to go and I'd never really heard of Jules prior to his being linked with us, so I went into the season a bit non-plussed but prepared to give everyone a chance. The initial games didn't inspire any strong feelings either way but I was extremely cheesed off by the way we just greased ourselves up and prepared for the snu-snuing of a lifetime at Coventry.

However, when Jules fronted up to it in post-match, refused to throw players under various buses and made no excuses, instead making a somewhat risky promise to be 'completely different', he certainly got my attention. And, it would seem, the players were on board with this too because his prediction was spot on.

It ain't perfect (is it ever?) but we can see a manager trying new things and making positive adjustments that, frankly, even Marti would have struggled with at times. I like where he's taking us, as things stand. The squad balance is better (not brilliant but an improvement) and the matchday team is beginning to show us what it is capable of.

In short, right now, I don't miss Marti. I know it's early days but everyone has to start somewhere.

'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'

I like him . He seemed much more confident in the post match after wrexham. Of course a win will do that but just felt he was finding his feet a bit.

Stoke will be a good test, they are flying and I do rate Robins

Condolences Hooping . I've been where you are now.

My point was not directed at you about the vitriol. But it must be admitted that JS WAS getting loads of vitriol after the opening games.

I just thought it it was a little strange there was next to no threads giving him praise after the last 2 wins.

Maybe that will be the way it'll go. Win and it's down to the players and lose -it's on the manager.

Thank you, your post was very much aimed at me and that's fine.

I've explained it several times, and I'll explain one last time for clarity.

The Le Shrug name/comment came from me, only because he shruggs his shoulders an awful lot, especially post match. It's one of his mannerisms and I drew attention to as I found it very distracting. It is at least to me a very 'French' way of communicating. Nothing more. I also stopped after Charlton AND I did post here afterwards so for 'clarity' I was here.

Our Goalkeeper (the same one I have called for to start games) is also French do I bang on about that? Do I have a problem with him?

I think your comments were/are overly self rightous, JS got a lot of negative comments because the start to the season was by any standard appaling. Can we just discuss the facts on the ground without silly "You see" threads that only pop when we finally win a game please? It's tedious and trivial to me, though I freely admit 24 other posters seem to think that you framed a meaninful or salient argument.

For the avoidance of any doubt I really didn't appricate the tone and sentiment of your post, the 24 up voters I have reluctantly put on ignore, the whole thread is petty.

I'll leave it there.
