Gary Rowett

[StriderHiryu]

Waited way too long to go 442. I would have made changes after 20 minutes, the game completely passed us by for way to much of it. 

 

Why he takes so long to make subs I don't know.

Another week we win both of those games.

 

Still think the 4 games we fail to appointment cost us.

 

Rudkin and Twat are the problem.

Which week is that? Can’t think of any this season…

[cityfanlee23]

I think it's too late to even bother gambling now. 

Unless we can convince Torquay to lend us Warnock with payment being us loaning them a couple of players.
If you gave me the option of Warnock right now I'd head down to Torquay this evening.

Majority of those shots have been row z or catching practice for Iverson/Charles.

Again, a coach can set the foundations to get you in the positions…. Not the quality to put them away.  From the managers set up, we really should have put away the last 3 teams. 
 

I don’t think he’s been the issue

The issue we have is that the fckwits that run the club seem to appoint a worse manager every time we make a change.

Unfortunately thanks to the financial fxxk ups with us falling foul of PSR and having had unknown points deductions sitting over us for so long, we've really been hindered because no decent manager would have wanted to take us on whilst not knowing if their efforts would ultimately be in vain, so we've had to employ chancers.

Now the deduction is out of the way but we've managed to lose the players worth keeping while being lumped with the players nobody wants.  So we're an unattractive option in that regard too.  

We've still managed to make an absolute balls up with our managerial appointments too because despite this squad not being anywhere near good enough, it's not good enough for promotion.  It should still be good enough for mid table mediocrity and it certainly shouldn't be struggling to survive.

Don’t want him here now, let alone in league 1

[nettle]

Same shitty formation every week get the useless twat gone we might as well have kept Cifuentes. Still conceding shitty goals and never really goes for the jugular until it's to late. At least try with 2 up top 

[lcfc-fan1126]

Has nothing about him, same stuff every week and 1 win to show for it

Playing mavididi who is allergic to scoring and lascelles who is a waste of a sub

Always playing a 4231 when it doesn't utilise our midfield to its best ability

Imo its so obvious skipp has to be the deepest in the midfield, hes useless going forward

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Not good enough

 

**** him off

At the very least it should have been done at halftime, I couldn’t believe it when the same players 

came out for the second half.

The goal comes from one striker flicking it onto another.

Ayew almost scores a second when Fatawu is played as a traditional winger crossing it to a striker. We are in squeaky bum time in the Championship in a relegation battle. No point trying to b-tec Pep-ball your way out of trouble in a game like this one. I'm astonished a manager with as much Championship experience as this one waited so long to switch to it.

You mean just positionally or in terms of players as well?

100%

[jonny_wright]

Makes Gareth Southgate look like ange postegoglu 

[l444ry]

Rowett is well down the list of scapegoats if that's what floats your boat after this dismal result. Easy to nit pick out of frustration but those *players* out there fckd up shot after shot and cross after cross. I dislike tippy tappy modern football as much as the next and detest 4-2-3-1 but Captain Hindsight's are out in force today. 

[Muzzy_no7]

Has to persist with Abdul on the left and Jezza on the right now.

Must go 442 or 4411 for last few games. I rather us go down attacking than the way we are playing atm

[Blue ROI]

This is going the way of Levein, Megson, Holloway etc 

 

Unfortunately there doesn't look to be a Nigel Pearson to rescue us

To which he keeps selecting the same players, doing the same formation, waiting far too late for subs. 
 

He doesn’t think outside the box. Hes not even trying something different. 
 

Mavididi needs dropping for example. Waits so late today. Keeps playing Winks and it’s not working. Keeps choosing Okoli, he’s pants 

Keeps playing Winks?? It’s Skipp that’s the passenger in this midfield.

Skipp started and Winks didn’t in Rowett’s only win. Possibly his performance of the season v Bristol City
 

Winks has been absent every time we’ve had a little run of form. 
 

The idea he controls the play is fanciful because he just slows it down

Far too defensive today. Should have been more attacking from the start. Subs were left too late.

[Blue-fox]

442. Vestergaard up front. Wingers on the wing without cutting in and shooting. Cross the ball. Play direct football. 

[Arriba Los Zorros]

Should have kept Marti tbh. He was rubbish but at least he got the odd win now and then

The idea that Skipp is the better option than Winks and plays the ball faster is more than fanciful. He’s a passenger. Wall passes, hides on the pitch and we score when he gets hooked when we are no longer playing one man down in the absolutely key area of central midfield.
