    Bloomfield has made no difference whatsoever

    Posted by Bt20 on 13/4/2025, 6:26:10

    When he took over we had 25 points from 25 games.
    We now have 40 from 42.

    Those eight signings have not improved us at all.

      Bloomfield was given an absolute hospital pass with this squad. Talk about “a Warnock type until the end of the season” is guff - Bloomfield has improved things generally, and now has a better idea of what needs doing in the close season.
      Yes, Bloomfield had a shocker yesterday, but he has mode the side less of a bunch of bottle jobs than they were by the end of Edwards’ reign.
      Not sure what it says re the squad that the only players to at least try - McGuinness, Aasgaard, Makosso, Alli - were signed this season. How Morris, who’s become a spoilt diving brat, remains captain is a mystery for the ages. His attitude and performances are the opposite of what the side needs.

        I usually agree with a lot of what you post, but the line about ‘warnock type being guff’, is so far off the mark. That is exactly what we needed, in the short term.

          Has Bloomfield improved things generally though, Earls?

          Edwards P26 W7 D4 L15 GF27 GA44 GD-17 Pts25 points-per-game 0.96 goal-diff-per-game -0.65
          Bloomfield P16 W3 D6 L7 GF10 GA19 GD-9 Pts 15 points-per-game 0.94 goal-diff-per-game -0.56

          A marginal improvement in goals conceded, perhaps. Goals scored has got worse. Have either Morris or Adebayo scored for him? I honestly can't remember but he's the one who picks them.

            I've heard Morris has played most of the season injured.

            I'm not sure it is guff about a Warnock type. He'd have done everything Bloomfield has done but also got the results.

              Until yesterday, the consensus was Bloomfield had improved things. Which he has. I doubt a Warnock would have got any better results, tbh: there’s every chance imo the squad would have carried on under-performing, as “This bloke isn’t even going to be here next season.”
              Whatever malaise the squad is in, I just don’t see an interim boss being the answer. If a new boss was appointed at the end of this season, the same shitshow with recruitment could happen too easily, whereas Bloomfield will doubtless have said “I need this, this and this.”

                Was it?

                I think the consensus was that Bloomfield was improving after a shocking start - not that he'd improved us.

                  The consensus was that he’d improved our performances compared to those under Edwards this season. Granted, that’s a low bar.

                  Huddersfield and Colin are an object lesson is what can go wrong with a short term appointment.

                  And this bunch of wasters need no excuse to slacken off.

                  Frankly, even if they do manage to do us the honour of putting in a bit of effort and somehow avoid relegation, it’s hard to see how next season in this division would be any better.

                    I still think Bloomfield will be decent.

                    But I guess I'm also slightly underwhelmed by the results since he's been here.

                    Just felt there would be a bounce. Even Lampard managed one at Coventry (who we were above when he was appointed!)

                    I remember Wolves successive relegations from the PL. They appointed Dean Saunders in January but sacked him post season and appointed Jackett for League One and won the league.

                    Like it or not, I feel like MB needs to hit the ground running next season.

                    I suspect that it's a moot point as the club will not sack Bloomfield at the end of the season.

                    What would make you change your mind about Bloomfield? As has been pointed out, it could be many of the existing squad will be with us next season, although the better players will get moves to the Championship. So Bloomfield will have to turn things around with the players that he's failed to motivate plus some raw recruits from League One and League Two. I think that, like Edwards, he will be gone at the turn of the year and another season will have been wasted.

                      Think I agree with you on that. I get that Bloomfield has been dealt a rough hand but some of his selections and substitutions have been baffling. I also have no idea what his style of play is. It all seems a bit made up and on the hoof at the moment.

                      My fear, like yours is that we struggle in League One and he's sacked by Xmas and another year is wasted.

                    Warnock was never the answer.

                    He's not a Luton manager .

                      Maybe. Maybe not.

                      But we need to lose the arrogance and what is, or isn't a Luton manager.

                      I just want a manager who can make us competitive again and win football games. I don't care if he's a complete cunt or not fancied by some.

                        Agreed. That same arrogance was demonstrated when the likes of Rowett were mentioned too. Instead, we appointed a league one manager, with no experience at a higher level. Madness.

                  Due to GS and 2020’s ethos of ‘it’s how we treat people at Luton’ and holding on to romantic ideas, we kept RE for too long. Consequently, Bloomfield has been dumped with a weak squad and had little to no say in January additions.

                  Absolutely ridiculous the more you think about it.

                  A rookie manager was never the right call, particularly at that late stage. However, to be fair to the shit show he’s come into, we need to give him a fresh season in league 1 to build his own team. It needs a massive overhaul.

                    We should've gone for someone like Warnock until the end of the season.

                    People would complain about the football, but it would hardly be worse than what we've seen under Edwards and Bloomfield

                      Absolutely.

                      The decision was made so pathetically late that a rookie manager was never what was required.

                      He won’t be, but GS should be on very thin ice. He’s overseen a disastrous 12 months. NJ held this club together football wise and his absence has opened up stark weaknesses in others.

                          Not sure if there is anyone that could make anything out of that crock of shit we have now , 8 games ago I was convinced we was down , then there seemed to be a small glimmer of hope , after yesterday back to thinking no chance. I would live to be proved wrong though.

                            True.

                            But it's quite something to be have a lower PPG than Edwards.

                            If the players are simply that bad then more people than Edwards should lose their jobs.

                            I find it incredible how everyone at involved at the club on the playing misjudged the quality of the squad. Just look at the pre season rhetoric.

                            And it galls a tad when we hear from Harford and comments from Lockyer about the attitude of players earlier this season. If they're that bad, move them on past summer. Get rid of bad apples.

                            Or if you conclude the manager lost control and had to go, don't come out with all the stuff about him being welcome anytime back here etc.

                            You don't have to be everyone's mate all the time.

                                    This sqaud has probably had the best part of £100m spent on it over the last two years.

                                    We're joint bottom of the league. We've won 16 league games in two seasons.

                                    It's OK to question things sometimes, mate.
