All he's done is he'd made us slightly better defensively (the bar was already very low) while absolutely decimating our attacking threat. 

How?

 

Weve created more with him in charge.

Weve put more balls into the box and cut backs.

Weve taken more shots.

Weve a higher XG in Rowetts games than Marti’s.

 

Its not Rowetts fault that this team lacks killer instinct, character and constantly makes stupid errors.

 

Gary isn’t the man, but relegation isn’t his fault.

[Lambert09]

When was the last time we got a new manager boost? Puel? Anyone else actually started well with us? 

[nettle]

That interview sounds like self preservation if you ask me. Are his hands tied on how we play because nothing changes same formation same tactics well I say tactics it's a shit version of how Maresca played with shitter players. I never wanted him in the first place because he's always been dog shit and he's proving that

[STUHILL]

He is what I expected, uninspiring and making very little impact. We are going down with a whimper. 

[sm1]

If players dont listen to him, grow some balls and drop them. Mav has been anonymous all season, yet under Rowett, he's the 1st name on the team sheet. Where's Page and  Aluko? Try different formations/ combinations, you stupid twat.

But why?

 

He's the man in charge of the team and his "staff" should be exerting pressure to try different tactics.

 

No manager should be being influenced by the club's owners, if that's what you're implying.

[winteriscoming]

What did everyone expect? 
Oxford this season thought correctly that they could do better without him. 
I dread to think who we get in after him with these clowns in charge. 
I get Steve Bruce and Steve Evans vibes. 
We’re going nowhere until Top and Rudkin go.

Talking mid-season? Rodgers had a great remainder of the season he joined and up until Christmas the season after before it all went downhill. 
 

Not mid-season Maresca.

You forgot "out of his depth".

 

He was never right for us from the outset. Too conservative to narrow minded. An English version of Cifuentes.

Well he knows he was only on a short term contract, and that the team was already in dire straits when he signed a contract that no-one else would touch with a barge pole, so he doesn't really have much to lose. He will still get paid whether we go down or not. Besides, I don't think Rowett is the problem, even if he doesn't seem to have a Plan B. It's the rabble that he is trying to steer away from relegation, but can't seem to do the basics.

[Vacamion]

 

I'd hoped he would come in, lay down the law a bit, snarl at a few slackers, demand that players run until they are spewing, tackle til they ache and say loud and clear that he would drop anyone who doesn't follow instructions.

 

That he would:

 

Menacingly tell Fatawu that he's got the tricks, but if he doesn't reign it in and play a team game, he'll remove his baws.

 

Tell Ayew that if he carries on flouncing about slowly with his sad man grimace, as if he's shat himself, rather than running til it hurts and scoring regularly, he's out.

 

Tell Mavididi that if he won't actually take on a man and keeps passing it backwards, we'll pick a progressive player instead, who might.

 

Tell Winks - sorry mate, but we've been losing games with you on the pitch, you're benched.

 

Instead, we get an unchanged formation, failures being selected every week regardless of performance and now the manager coming out and moaning to the press that the players won't listen.

 

How far we have fallen.

Rudkin is still dining out on the crest of signing Vardy.

 

The man's incompetent. 

 

 

[1972 Fox]

@whoareyaaa dying on that hill here with his pathetic argument 

 

It's quite obvious to anyone with a brain that everything is beyond broken at this club.

 

The manager(s) not good enough.

The players not good enough.

As for the hierarchy, where to begin?

[foxile5]

You'd be calling for him to be sacked if it wasn't all so farcical, wouldn't you? 

 

The writing was on the wall from very first game at Stoke, really, which was basically more of the same. Clearly had little to no impact on the team.

He's too weak of character for any of that.

 

It's like having a senior manager in your workplace that won't address the issues causing poor performance. Everyone can see it. Those that are being managed by that person just take the piss because they know they're not getting any sanctions.

 

Rowett couldn't manage an Aldi store.

Apart from where it matters of course

Less goals 

Less points 

If “It’s not Rowett fault that this team lacks killer instinct”

It’s the same personal playing whose fault is it?

 

30% worse off goals per game 

7% better off defensively goals conceded per game

There has been zero impact. Zero change in style of play (which is crazy considering its failed miserably for 2 seasons under multiple managers)  zero uplift in desire, passion, and work rate. Zero change in substitutions its still like for like 95% of the time.

Still zero chance of dropping players that are drastically under performing. 

Zero chance we're staying up

Zero chance of rudkin taking any blame

Zero chance of rudkin getting the chop

Zero chance of top and KP doing the right thing.

[1972 Fox]

Can anyone post a link to Rowett's post match interview please?

[Le Renard]

I don't blame Rowett, this is on Rudkin and Top, they're the ones who've signed off on the players, created a culture of abject failure and not taken any responsibilty for this s**t show.  Once a workplace becomes toxic it is difficult to turn it around, you need someone with a big personality like MON or Pearson to change the culture.  Some of these managers/coaches haven't been bad, but they just don't have that quality to change the overall dynamic. 

[jv1]

Has to take his share of the responsibility as if he can’t change anything tactics wise he shouldn’t be managing anywhere at any level - it’s exactly the same team doing the same things as under the Spanish waiter - he could have gone 352 weeks ago but has persisted with filth like mavadidi- unfortunately for him and us all the players are utter scum but again if he hasn’t got any capability to change even the most basic tactics he shouldn’t be anywhere near that level

We needed a striker. We needed a left back. We needed some grit and nastiness. We needed to get rid of the players that didn’t want to be here. The club insist on using agents for signing players, amateurs. 
 

The club decided to fck around again with another ill prepared pre season. 
 

The club didn’t bother getting a striker and in January. 
 

And if you believe it, they want to sack Rowett as they can’t afford to go down. I wish they had the IQ to see the lack of action over the last few years and the abysmal setup for this season is the reason why we find ourselves here and not the current manager. Yes he hasn’t tried to completely changed our approach and that is on him!

But they’re fcking clowns and they need to fck right off out the club. Everything and I mean everything is on them. We have the squad and manager we have because of them. 
 

Honestly I detest everything about the way we play, clearly a remit from the fcking clowns running the club. 
 

Rowett really needs to stick two fingers up and fck off the one up front passing around the back nonsense. We can’t play it and haven’t been able to do so for years. But we’ll setup the same next season too so I care not one bit about who the manager is, I can’t trust we will have any organised direction and plan from the clowns above . 

 

Entirely agree, and think it will be hilarious if they do sack him and inevitably burn at least one of the remaining games whilst they recruit someone.

 

They are reaping what they sowed, the chickens are coming home to roost etc etc!!

That's exactly what I'm saying to keep playing the same way seems crazy to me surely he must see that himself so why not change it?

[Ian S]

His substitutions today were beyond strange.
