Martin Jol - Did we dodge a bullet?

[Hookeysmith]

Poor displays this year
Senior players being vocal about training methods and coaching

He was fancied highly by a few on here

I actually think he is worse than Ginge - and thats saying something

[JUAN PABLO]

we dodged a bullet but got a bomb instead

[Chris Smith]

Next up, Owen Coyle - did we dodge a bullet?

[JUAN PABLO]

Owen coyle - My Burnley mate is loving it

[PeterWithe]

We may have dodged it but the next out the barrel hit us firmly between the eyes.

It seems to be all bullets when it comes to choosing managers.  What is the opposite of dodging a bullet anyway?

[Concrete John]

How long ago was it that Fulham's approach to some game against a top team was being heralded on here as an example of what AM should be doing?  Last week?

If I didn't know better I'd use that 'F' word.

[JUAN PABLO]

Id be more pissed off with Dempsey If I was a Fulham fan than Jol.

[Brend'Watkins]

Poor displays?  They looked half decent to me against Liverpool. 

Anyway, what is it with modern day footballers and "training methods" they don't appear to like? We had it last season with our lot apparently not liking GH's methods when it was clear the fitness of some of our players wasn't up to scratch.

To be fair to Coyle, his Bolton side have seriously suffered with injuries.

As for Jol, last I heard the pundits were singing his praises saying he had Fulham playing some good stuff.

I thought they looked pretty good v spurzzz too  . 

[Chris Smith]

Fulham are essentially the same squad of players that they've been for the past 2-3 seasons, so he can't claim much credit for the way they play. If he's managed to upset his players that's just poor management, however pampered they might be.

[Warren Aspinall]

We may have dodged it but the next out the barrel hit us firmly between the eyes.

We're like that scene in Saving Private Ryan, were the soldier takes a bullet in the helmet, takes off the helmet to look at it whilst thanking his lucky stars & then gets shot right between the eyes.

The fitness thing has been there for a few years now. I remember John Terry saying that Chelsea waited for the 60th minute mark against us as they knew we'd get tired.
