it's doubtful anyone could have come in and done much better

Maybe, but someone could've come in and not just sat there with the 4231 autopilot on. 

 

We may as well have just got someone from the club shop to have pinned a team sheet to the seagrave notice board each week for all the good he's done

Ideally we need 8 points from 12. That's a big ask for most teams, never mind 1 as weak as ours. 

While I have sympathy for Rowett with the squad he inherited. 

I don't think he's done enough to deliver Goals which is what we need to win games. 

At this late hour I'd go route one with Vesty or Okoli up top.

Did we sack Marti too soon? Should we have just kept him on?

 

I was Marti out at the time and no one has a crystal ball, but we mightve well just kept him in hindsight

No Marti was a shit ****. The worst manager we have ever had, first rate fraud

It is Rowett and Cifuentes fault, this squad was more than good enough to stay up, we all thought we would get the play-offs even with a points deduction. 

 

They've both persisted with the same players and formation, especially Rowett, all season without ever trying anything different. 

 

The pre-season was a disaster, but any decent manager keeps this squad in the championship. 

It’s mostly Cifuentes fault. He has had most of the season, and made us get into this run of form. Throughout the season we deserved to win maybe 2/3 games

What is the recent obsession with this? He might be a big lad but he's wank. He's slow, ponderous and has a unique ability to put himself in the least effective positions at all times. I don't see what he can do that can't be achieved by putting Vichai's statue up top.

Pretty obvious what the obsession is. Clearly we won't pay anything but 4-2-3-1 and the two options we have at striker are completely useless. At least Vestergaard will be something different. But we don't do different so don't worry, it won't happen.

Well we've tried all the so called Strikers, who have proved useless for 42 games. 

Personnaly I'd play Okoli up top, He's brave and a bit of a Roughhouse player. He would upset defenders and might just do enough to help us win a few  games.

Okoli? Our struggling centre back? Injured too and out for the season? Gerrimin!!!

Can't remember the last time we ever had a *Manager Bounce*?

Most of them seem to have a good opening couple of games. Cifuentes won 3 in 4. Van Nistelrooy got 4 points from his first 2. Even Cooper got a respectable opening result (although in hindsight I'm not sure actually).

 

Invariably it goes to pot. I wasn't fooled by the Stoke game - huge two dropped and surprise surprise, these draws have killed us.

Terrible manager

Terrible tactics

Terrible team

Terrible Senior Leadership Team

Terrible season

 

All in all, this season has been a little bit ****

I'd go along with this idea.  Might create a bit of panic.   I mean, It's not ideal, but the alternatives are Daka and Ayew.

For me, Rowett deserves as much stick as anyone else in this dry fanny of a season.

 

He's stolen a living since being here.

 

 

Feels as if it was a case of him arriving and a 'as you were lads ...and kingy can you handle the training?'

What's even worse about the set up at the club is the manager clearly isn't allowed to fully implement what they want to do. Not even for a few months. 

 

Cooper was a disgrace but he was forced into having half Enzo ball and half some of his own ideas. 

 

We have a man baby who's watched Man City a few times and got this weird outlook on identity. 

 

Well here's your identity now Top. A fanbase who despise you and half empty stadium.

Nearly had a quarter of a season 

1 win 

He is slowly changing tact and blaming the players as time runs out. 

If this was the first 10 games of the season, this record would have him under pressure of the sack. To underperform Marti is a discace. He's clearly checked out and now doesnt care - would rather he just wasn't taking the games to be honest.

These players wear the manager down to that point. They are so arrogant that they think they know best. So any manager comes in thinking "these are talented players, I bet I can turn it around!" to looking like death 1 month later. Even Kingy in his games ages 20 years in weeks. 

 

There is a pattern and the constant are the players. I think I'd give up at some point with these morons.

Need 12 from 12 ideally. 8 points will almost definitely see us down unless West Brom do get docked points.

 

Not that we're getting those kind of points anyway.

Kingy isnt a manager. Rowett is just a crap one.

 

Our problem is not getting a 'good' manager and persisting with rubbish that has not succeeded anywhere.

We should have got the former WBA manager when Enzo left, instead we plump for Cooper and everyone that followed only made things worse, and when we sacked that manager, our pool got smaller and smaller. By the time Rowett was appointed, no one would touch us with a bargepole! Thats way we wasted 4 weeks in appointing him. This is down to “no plan”Rudkinman! That said the players are equally to blame, there no pride in most of the players and others are just not capable anyone!

Listening to Rowett on his latest presser. He talks utter drivel. Clueless, it's like he's in a different world to what fans witness week in week out. No doubt Top & Rudkin will want  him to stay.
