Eh? Must be on a different forum to you. Don't think I've seen anybody rate him. Any 'positivity' has been more about the fact he has banged on about standards and he's at least given some of the younger players a run

Don't think I'm bothered... If it was Sheff Weds... I'd have quit football. So threatening to quit football if he joined them, means you're not bothered? You might not have any strong feelings about him moving to Burnley but you clearly were bothered about where he was going

So you were pretty bothered?

Definitely haven't. League 1 and 2 can be extremely topsy turvy. We obviously have if we play like that again though

That non red card was silly and probably would have changed the outcome, but we can't say we deserved any luck today. Worst bit about a result like that is whilst Oxford played a few really nice bits of football, that had to do next to nothing for that scoreline because we made it so easy for them. Wasn't even like loads of our players had absolute stinkers, they just wilted under the pressure, totally lost their heads (the turnovers from Kick off being prime example of that) and ultimately, were failed by their manager. Oxford kept a good shape and that was all they needed to do. We were only ever going to be able to score a bear perfect goal because there was absolutely no plan to rotate players or create space. Never seen such a case of Plan A only, as today.

Could sort of get it if you were a genuine L1/L2 club hoping that you get lucky with a young manager. But for a club of our size to have ever had an interest, is absolutely mental

Just alluded to similar in the Martin Out thread. Seriously worrying that he's blaming it on the lack of experience on the pitch

Worrying listening to him. Usual bollocks as you'd expect but he's so arrogant about what happened today and it sounds like he's going to bin off several of the younger players. You know, the ones that have actually put in some performances this year

Rowett was a disgrace though in terms of his choices with personnel (culture) and his approach to games. Could have seen him doing a decent job but he absolutely fluffed it

Losses like that are instant sackings unless you have built up the credit beforehand. No chance with these spineless chumps in charge

Hooking Alves who was the only player carrying a threat was absolutely bizarre as well

Good response. Makes loads of sense in response to what I said

Yet the only ones who have stood up to it, are the 'teenagers'

Says it all about standards at this club then. Looks like he's just rocked out of bed after a session on the spicy darts

Not being silly but even the way he's dressed on the sidelines is embarrassing. Wear a tracksuit, or at least jeans and a shirt. Looks like he's just rocked out of bed. Who could take him seriously when he's looking like that. 0 shame or self respect

Thing is, his football is all about following certain patterns and plays. So when you can see how toothless we are today, it's 100% on the manager. There's no other point of blame. He's got to win at least 3/4 in a row otherwise he should be sacked

Stop banging this drum about the academy players. As has been the case all season, they're the best players we have. Bloody weird that you focus on them when it's the older players that are absolutely shite

How the f has he missed that

Embarrassing as per. That blatant red not given was at the wrong time but it doesn't excuse this absolute shite

Glorious

Alves basically made something happen every time he's had the ball. Braybrooke also not given the ball at all so not sure what you expect them to do

Rowett was an embarrassment. And I say that as somebody who hoped/expected he'd actually be ok for us

I know he hasn't missed a sitter and played that one great pass to Burns, but this is the worst he's played this season. Crying out for an actual 10 with some guile in that position today

What atrocious management. Unbeaten and massively overachieving, so you decide to make a change to the spine of the side

Difficult for a GK though. Only 1 spot and no chances to impress off the bench. Pretty normal for keepers to go to that level to get some game time, especially with the flexibility of their transfer windows. But I don't think he's ever going to break through here anyway so not a big surprise.
