Gary Rowett

One thing about Rowett is he won't be getting a pay off. Other managers have to stay quiet to keep their pay off. He can let rip.

 

Guy's clearly out of his depth, but hopefully he's more honest about what this squad is really like.

Oooh little Winkerbell won't like his professionalism being called into question 

[HankMarvin]

No words of wisdom full stop.

yes the players are underperforming and confidence is low. But what exactly are you doing through the week? Basically the team picks itself based on experience (your choice) and the formation has been the same through 11 games.

Goal scoring will be down 50% if they have another stinker, that’s a Rowett problem 

[Pliskin]

Just a twat in a hat. 

[foxfanazer]

He doesn't get a pass by any means but he's so low down on the list of problems that I can't even be arsed to have a pop at him. He'll be another faceless manager sacked in a long line of nobodies whilst the real poison at the club remains

In fairness to him I can't think of anybody who would get a tune out of this toxic squad.

If by getting a tune you mean not winning one in 11 look at the last professional manager.

[howlinmadmurfdoc]

I genuinely believe he thought the squad on paper was good enough for him to come in put a rocket up them and pickup three or four wins and stay up. Then he’d get the job for longer. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Has added no value and made no difference. Compare his impact to that of other managers brought in around the same time at other struggling clubs eg Bloomfield at Oxford, Morrison at West Brom and O'Neill at Blackburn. Awful.

Quite rightly so that he would believe that. Now surely he realises that they are just a bunch of frauds. Too late now though. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

Not the problem 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Been saying it for a while. But manager’s here aren’t really the problem - though some of them don’t cover themselves in glory the problems start at the Aiyawatt

This team a rotten stinking mess thanks to an inept board

Binning off the youth for the experience he reckoned would deal with the pressure is fully on him

[Reynaldo]

There’s been a lack of professionalism from the majority of the squad for most of the season and especially during Rowetts tenure.

 

He would have got more respect from fans if he just binned the majority out of the squad and brought the hungrier younger lads in. Yeah, we probably wouldn’t be much better off than we are now, but at least it’s trying something different. 
 

Right now, he’s moaning about something and he’s literally the only person in the world that can change it, yet he does fook all apart from keep picking them. 
 

So he’s either useless beyond belief and full of hot air, or he’s being told he has to pick them from higher up so that the players are relevant to a degree when it comes to selling them all in the summer.  And if that’s the case, this club has way more problems than we see now

Sorry but actions speak louder than words. 

 

You can't call out their professionalism then continue to pick them expecting something different from them. 

 

Rowett is becoming as culpable for our downfall as much as the players and imbeciles above him are. He's done/doing nothing to arrest the slide, change our fortunes or try something different to what other managers tried. 

 

Going down with a whimper is far worse than going down having shown some fight. 

 

He has to start taking responsibility as much as the players do.

Not if you don’t believe he’s picking the side 

[oldbluefox]

The atmosphere is so toxic on and off the field that you should ask if it is fair to throw our younger players into it. It is not necessarily the start to their first team career they should be having even if they are good enough. After promising starts Monga and Mukasa have been disappointing. I would rather keep them positive for next season since we will be needing them.

By all means drop those who are not pulling their weight but who do you put in. You're as bad burnt as scolded. The whole shebang needs ditching and we start again.

Makes zero sense, why would he say we need experience etc then essentially say none of them are capable of doing anything different or what they're asked

His 10 game form guide:

 

 

-4 GD, in a supposed 'harder to beat' side. One of those draws was against the bottom team and we got battered by the team in 21st.

 

To have no self reflection on this in his interview is appalling. He is giving the 'ive done everything i can vibes'. Pathetic.

Would we have stayed up with Cifuentes then ?

I disagree. I think if Rowett was to start the next game against Hull with a completely different starting 11, giving a load of the youngsters a really good run out, the fans would instantly give them room to play. I’m 100 percent convinced of that.  This should of happened ten games ago.

Horrendously but yes we may well have. Just shows how ****ing awful King and Rowett have been

I think so, although probably only just. We wouldn't have had those horrific 3 games under King and if Marti had been able to maintain his ppg i think we would have been ok. Remember, Winks would have remained out and we would have kept on using the academy players.

 

Remember, Marti was sacked before the points deduction anyway, because we had drifted away from the playoff spots.

Not sure, James was carrying Marti massively. Reckon we'd of dropped just as quickly under Marti when James was missing

Let’s stop pretending.

 

We just lost to Oxford at home, a long line of appalling performances against awful teams, we would have got no more points than we did. He was lucky to get the points he did bailed out by James and Fatawu at the time. That would have dropped off.

 

Let’s be clear Cifuentes is a **** a useless ****, he should have never been here. He is as responsible for our position as anyone, it’s his tactics, his fitness, his coaching that has taken us through 2/3rds of the season.

 

Rowett has also been clueless but I am not having that Cifuentes keeps us up. I saw absolutely NOTHING to suggest that was the case.

[Guest]

I was only half paying attention to his interview after the game so can't remember the exact quote but he said something to the effect of it being the same story as the last few games, same patterns, same problems - no ****ing shit. He neglects to ever do anything differently and then seems confused when the outcomes don't change either. "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

 

People want the players to get raked over the coals which I get but I don't think it's ever a particularly good idea for managers to do it in public, and to me the stuff he's been coming out with recently comes across less as frank honesty aimed to motivate and more as him trying to absolve himself of any responsibility. Yeah the squad probably isn't equipped for a relegation battle but that's the position we're in and unfortunately it is actually your job to come up with a way of getting us out of it.
