 Michael Duff : The loneliness of the long distance manager 17th Sep 2023 08:00Michael Duff looked a slightly lost man post match after witnessing his side produce next to very little to even give a glimmer of hope that last nights derby game could be won. Heading home to Cheltenham as opposed to Swansea he would most certainly be lost in his thoughts on that drive home last night.  1

He was the wrong choice for this club. Watson too, who was meeting with Nathan Jones on the eve of the derby if rumour is to be believed.
They’re the complete antithesis of what this club should stand for. We were at our most successful when we had an identity, pass and move football. Not whatever this is.

The yanks are looking at other clubs and how they do things instead if trying to create their own legacy like we have done previous.
It's mistake after mistake, this one looks to be the biggest yet......ripping up everything with absolute no clue whatsoever. |  |

The Martinez/Rodgers/Laudrup years were attractive, winning football. It doesn’t get better than that.
I’d take Duffs football if it won us games. I’d even take it if he was trying to do something different and you could see it was a work in progress.
As it stands, it’s just meek, negative football and we lose most of of our games. He’s said he’s not going to change. If he doesn’t, he shouldn’t last long.
I’m also bored of hearing how he started slowly at Cheltenham and Barnsley and turned things around. He’s doing the same thing every game and it doesn’t work. | | | |

Meeting Nathan Jones?
Is that true? |  | | |

He looked and spoke like a man who hasn't got a clue how to sort this out.
Massive 2 games coming up, a minimum of 4 points required.
But im not holding my breath he can achieve it |  |

I think that's where most are at the moment.
We live in hope, the last resort of being a fan.
This struggle of a start is here for a while. Even by some magical intervention we get 6 points from the next two games it will be 8 from 8 and still relegation form.
The following 4 games are difficult and could end with 0 points so then 8 from 12.
Positivity could be a long way off. | | | |

The way we have been playing and the way Duff spoke ahead of this game it smelled that he would try not to lose the game rather than try to win it. They were no great shakes but words fail me about our performance. It was unacceptable for any game but against them .... We are where we are in the table for good reasons.
Confidence and belief in the manager seems to be at Bradley levels.I think that he's lost the majority of fans after that, the question is has he lost the dressing room as well because it didn't look like the players believed in him either. There are enough players left to compare him with Martin if not Cooper as well.
The fact he is still living 2 hours or so away doesn't help in any way; he knows the clock is ticking and without a massive change on the pitch, it probably doesn't have a lot of ticks left. [Post edited 17 Sep 2023 11:11]
