Saintdunc Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Is it just me or is there a bit of the ''Harry Redknapp'' about Lomas? By that I mean he looks (and sounds) more like a car salesman than an ex Footballer and manager. When interviewed he is looking all over the place rather than the interviewer or camera.

Dr Christmas Jones Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I can remember playing a lot worse and having heavier defeats from some rotten teams under Totten,Sturrock and McIness. Lomas does nt have the approach to the media the other 3 did but does that make him a worse manager.This is his first real job.Christ, Lennon was getting sacked after the Killie game last season if they had nt pulled it back to 4-4 and look whats happened now. Do we think we are better than where we are at the moment.Listening to Nigel............we should be Champions league!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we think we are better than where we are at the moment.Listening to Nigel............we should be Champions league!!!! All managers have bad results, course they do. With Sturrock we got done 4-0 by Stenhousemuir and we never turned up for the Cup Semi under Del etc. Its more than that with Lomas though. In regards to to the media, given his playing experience he should be the most experienced media savvy manager that we have had. The youth players are getting forgotten about, players are being stuck out of position regularly, subs are poor, set plays are poor, or rather the set PLAY is poor, the strikers are chopped and changed every week, whats happening with Craig Beattie? Transfer record is pretty questionable given his "connections".Overeacts big time to criticism. Its just a poor vibe from Lomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Christmas Jones Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 If we get passed St.Mirren on Feb 2nd we have another real chance to get to the semi's of the cup.Make the top six this season again and I have no doubt we will do alot better in the last five games...........probably cause we could nt do any worse.

rik2304 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Tell you what I do like about Lomas. He is really proactive in the transfer market and always looking to strengthen. Other Saints managers havent always been as busy freshening the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sign dave Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 nah lomas is defo proactive, he has always been talking about how thin we are, fair enough the squad might not get bigger, but he certainly doesnt want it to be any smaller.

Is a big squad necessarily the sign of a good manager though? In my experience, Lomas constantly whines on about how he doesn't have enough money to spend. Big squad = lots of unhappy players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I quite like the fact Lomas seems to be targeting players for next season already. Not sure when we last had confirmation of a PCA this early in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they saw him and his agent in the boardroom a few days before he signed. His comment was pretty much missed under the deluge of shite that gets posted in that thread but he was right!

SingaporeSaint Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Would love to be wrong about his ability a a manager but will evaluate at end of the season, still comes across as a bit of a penis though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john.w Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Is his tactics, substitutions, body language improving? it is just a pity he comes across on the videos like a punter trying to sell a load off lead off a church roof.
