Going to laugh at this thread when we still get relegated anyway....early days, still no clean sheets and a long way to go!

Its all about opinions and people who are a little happier because we are playing a bit better and seem a little more organised, then that's fair enough. Easy to come on here in 2 months and laugh at people for having an opinion but I suppose if we do turn the corner and stay up, then people could laugh at your opinion. The club is utterly shite and has been for years, and that's not going to change overnight and Rowett certainly cant change it overnight. What he can do and seemingly is doing, is getting the players motivated and fighting so we can stay up. If we stay up, we have a chance to rebuild and reset hopefully. If we go down, we are even more fcked that we already are. I hate the club at the moment and cant stand Top and Rudkin for how they have destroyed us, but that doesn't mean i cant be a little happier that the players are actually fighting now and putting in better performances.

Just a question, would you be happier if in our next 5 matches we drew them all 0 - 0 or if we won them, 3 - 2, 2 - 1, 3 -1, 4 - 2 and 2 -1. Yes, I agree keeping a clean sheet ensures you at least get a draw, but I'm happy to concede a goal or two if we keep winning.

He's certainly a lot more relaxed about the job.

Maybe he's been paid till the end of the season already?

I think most people would be happy with a win where we concede.

 

Because we win - so they can be happy. And we concede - so they can be happy complaining that we conceded still. Win win.

[Filbert Fireworks]

Too early to say 2 games in. We do look organised and there is some work ethic but we see this every new manager whilst the players pick up for a little bit to earn there place. Then after 5games the effort drops and we never to seem to recover. 

 

We are where we are. Rowett is the least of our issues to be honest. Heard he's already made comments about prima Donnas walking around in sliders at the training ground.

I mean it’s a daft question. Who is going to say they’d want a grand total of 5 points over 15?

 

The clan sheet thing is being such a widely talked about issue purely because we aren’t getting those scoreline wins you have said. 9 games without a win.
 

A better example would be if we were going to draw, would you rather 0-0 or 2-2? And I’d say 0-0 at this point as we know we can score goals but the confidence from a clean sheet would do wonders. If we can actually win some games without necessarily keeping a clean sheet, fine. 3 points is what is important.

There's something about Rowett that I haven't seen since Claudio , Nigel F Pearson and possibly before him MON. Edit - Thinking back also Micky Adams had it as well. 

 

It's hard to describe but It's a way with the media and how he comes across that will put him good stead for when things go wrong - which it inevitably will as is does eventually with any manager. 

 

MON and NFP had this ability to be straightforward with the media, being able to protect their players at the right time, hanging out certain players almost passively aggressively when needed, a bit of self protection and also the ability to keep the fans on side. 

 

As soon as Ruud, Marti, Cooper, Puel and especially Rodgers opened their mouths I could tell almost instantly that they will struggle when things start going bad as they didn't have that ..... Not sure what to call it ... spark?  Nack?

I think its straightforward honesty and that's what the fans want. Puel was boring and struggled with the language barrier and Rodgers was just Billy bull shitter and would do/say anything that protected himself. Marti and Ruud both talked a good game when they joined but couldn't back it up. Cooper just couldn't be taken seriously in my opinion. 

 

Pearson and O'Neill as you mentioned were both honest and said what they thought and didnt bull shit. Claudio was just an immensely likeable character. 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

The bounce is over 😔 

[Eskay]

Stevie wonder could have told you that Okoli was looking even shitter than usual at the start of the second half. He did nothing. That's on him. 

 

BDCR has been good for about 30 mins. That's not enough to get a start in my book. 

 

He's had a dose of reality today of just how shit these are. 

[Lionator]

Needs to publicly throw some people under the bus today hopefully 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Today seals the deal we are gone for me, I was slightly positive after last week. A must win game and had we even had a shot before it went 2-0? Strikers don’t score goals, we can’t defend, can’t keep a clean sheet. Pathetic

[sm1]

He's getting what he deserves picking Luke and Okoli and sidelining Aluko. I expected him to play a faster game, but we're just playing the shit slow 100 passes at the back.

There's no combination of players at our disposal that are capable tbh

Exactly, who is he supposed to pick over Okoli, a crocked Lascelles?

[Mista_cle31]

I live in Norfolk and hate Naarwich with a passion, but fair play to them, they've been decent and thoroughly deserve the three points. Roll on League One because there's no saving us. 

[beepee1984]

The manager makes no difference

The squad is poor and has no depth

The players just refuse to put in any effort.

 

Everyone blamed Marti who averaged 1.31 pts/game - we are 0.33 since he left
Marti leaving actually just showed the players they don't have to put any effort in, because the blame will always be portioned elsewhere

[Rubbersoul]

This is what happens when I try to be positive

No. I'm just being realistic....I'd love us to be better but I can't see it.

[Mark]

0 wins out of 3 and is just another manager playing the likes of Reid and Ayew, so no support from me

Maybe it's part of their respective contracts to play every game?..

[Mr.Bingles]

I think any manager would struggle with this squad. I think there’s something seriously wrong with their psychology. Their confidence is shot, psychologically defeated, burnt out. I bet they just want this all to be over. I can’t see us surviving, not if people’s heads have gone. 
 

hopefully we go down, King Power sell up and we wipe the slate clean. Some bugger will buy us. 

[J.Lisemore]

Kept Okoli on after half time when it was obvious he was struggling. Yet  another manager who doesn’t really know what they’re doing to be honest, dreadful.
