Posted this on social media groups. Genuinely interested to hear

What has Scott Lyndsey done so far that makes you think he can get us promoted this or next season?

He certainly isn't getting a tune out of the team week in and out. He's supposed to be a good manager. Surely he should be getting more out of them?

(I think we need to stick with him because we can't go through another management and subsequent squad change again)

I can't name much positive that he's done. I still want to stick with him but we need to see some progression quickly.
We've spent a lot of money on new recruits and have nothing to show for it.
Hopefully we have some decent players who give everything to win a game of football lined up for the summer.

I know we are stuck with him. I know everyone says he is a great manager..... I'm not an expert, but that seems to be the general consensus. So if that is the case, surely he should be doing better with the players he has?

He’s a massive fucking fraud. He’s nowhere near good enough for league football. If anything we’ve actually regressed under him. He’s managing in L2 for a reason, and the reason is that he’s fucking shit.

You know the football is really bad when like me you start to think after a Dons match that at least I still have my health and a loving wife.

The thing that boggles my mind is when he came here he specifically made a point of saying he likes to play more attacking football, to threaten their goal more etc - in other words, possession but with a more aggressive/proactive style than Williamson.

We saw a bit of an improvement when we went on that five game run but now we've regressed and it resembles MW more and more.

Where has that attacking attitude gone from SL? We look so impotent in the final third. Hogan looks so isolated, very little coming his way most of the time and most of our chances coming from midfielders taking pot shots.

The other obvious thing to me is how poor we are at shooting. Every game so few on target. We didn't get a shot on target today until well into the second half, and the only others came when we were desperate chasing the game after we conceded.

The reason was that they weren't shooting, but consider how poor they were in the warm up, I'm not surprised. For god sake change it, as it's making the players even worse.

Never bodes well for a manager when they freeze out Mr MK Dons.

Huge, huge error.

Not much. But I'm still convinced this squad by and large is totally fucking wank. And i still don't know who would improve it and what they'd do.

He's been off it for ages so it's hardly an unpopular choice, until things go wrong and we forget how poor he was and we think he's the solution.

I'd like to see Toby or one of the other journos challenge him on it unexpectedly on it, mind. The fact nobody's asked where he is is a weird one

A most excellent analysis. F-ing spot on.
