Clear out on coaching staff and players urgently needed

Shit team that we managed to lose to away last season? So an improvement, I believe.

Barnsley last season were better than this season - thats why they are currently in the relegation zone - of course that could easily change.

Most of these players finished fourth last season.

I believe Sky were saying the Barnsley fans were up for it big time, and the players were too. These matches are never easy to win.

There is absolutely no evidence of Oscar and Jones knowing what needs doing to change things, we will finish this season about 10th to a half empty AMEX as people won't bother going especially to the Yeovil match let alone sell any tickets for these games.

Some of the players are burned out - Rohan for example. Others have been in and out due to injuries. Oscar has had little luck in being able to pick a regular squad. The top two have had a largely settled side all season - it does make a difference.

But failed in the play-offs, 2nd season in a row of missing out suggests player change is needed.

Why is Oscar the right manager/head coach without doubt? What are you basing this on?

Everything in Moderation
Whether or not Oscar is the right man (fence-sitter here) tactics and playing style need to be addressed as it is clearly not working. We are neither entertaining nor winning regularly. Would settle for just one if need be. Roll on next season after an exciting pre-season transfer diddling.

That's right, all the players are tired!!!! Tired of playing for a negative manager that has no motivational skills and the personality of a cucumber!!

Or previous manager had them over-achieving.

My own personal belief of actually giving a manager time and understanding all the difficulties he has had to face - no pre-season, constant injuries, missing out on key signings, hasnt got his own players in, players not hitting form and players not giving 100% (though he can influence that).
He needs a full pre-season with us, simple as that. Changing a manager will just result in the same issues as this season - simple as that.
Potentially, but improvements on what we have is needed - notably in the striker department, possibly defence too.

So surely than there has to be an element of doubt
Could you also agree that he needs to change his style of play as he isn't getting anywhere near the best out of the players at his disposal who (even with all the injuries etc.) are a lot better than most of the displays this year. Unfortunately, professional player not giving a 100% (especially with a playoff place at stake) would suggest that the manager/head coach is not doing or can't do his job correctly! I would therefore conclude that there is a major doubt that Garcia is the man for the job!Brighton Breezy

Potentially? You can't have it both ways. If this squad isn't good enough and it is down to them then surely that means the manager who got the same group to fourth must have overachieved?
Also, our problem is not in defence. We have, for the second season running, one of the division's best defensive records.
