I think given he is a proven loser, and there is no hope with him, we should sack him right now. Don’t care who we bring in.

Bit Harsh he's not been great but he's got a solid record as a championship manager

[teblin]

I think he wants to say we are crap, the players have let us down. But he obviously can’t say that.

 

That said do something different you fool!!

[OriginalRobboFOX]

He’s said repeatedly that the make up of our squad can only play one way and he can’t change it. Whether that says more about him or more about the players I can’t quite work it out. 

[HP1]

Still can't get over how after meekly relegating a club to the third tier for only the 2nd time in their existence, this man can apathetically smile his way through the post match interview, as though it is a dead rubber end of season game to see who finishes 15th.

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

was right behind him and he's done some things such as made us a bit harder to beat, but he's not good enough. Hasn't changed enough of the same old shite players or formation. 

 

He's not to blame and he's better than Marti imo but still ultimately it's all on the board for this mess and not the managers. 

 

Wouldn't want him next season really now either

No effort payday for him that's it really! He will be back in the Sky studio with his mates in no time.

[Foxin_Mad]

He’s always been a limited manager, I hoped he could use limited skills to do limited things and make us slightly less shit. He has failed.

 

The problem now is we are a limited club ran by morons, it’s going to be very difficult for us to ever get a manager who can make the changes needed because I don’t think the board want a manager like that.

[lcfc_forever]

Rowett's clearly fed up of the lack of effort and application from the players - the constant conceding of goals from set-pieces is ridiculous. The underlying stats show the performances are much better vs Marti, but he was a much luckier manager with both Fatawu and James fit and in-form. 

 

There is no accountability at the club beyond the manager, and until that changes, the club is screwed.

I hate to be that person, but im going to be pedantanticly doing this.

 

He has not made us harder to beat. And he is not better than Marti. There is no stat to suggest either point.

 

Not that Marti was anything other than sh1t mind you.

[King Claudio]

Not sure he'd even want it. 

[les-tah]

Poor manager - relegation could of been prevented if he simply didnt insist on playing the stupid formation and tactics of the previous failed managers. Pretty sure he could of knocked together 5 wins just by playing classic british 442.

 

[nettle]

I still can't understand him not changing the formation, it just doesn't make any sense to me, any manager worth his salt would try anything to get a change of results  he says the players can only play one way has he ever thought about managing them and telling them to get on with it.

Oh he has in terms of goals conceded and clean sheets. Only lost one away from home. 

 

Prob is it seems to have affected any attacking threat. 

 

I do think if he had have had more time he could have done better but still had enough time to do so much more. Not changing formation or players was just stupid. 

 

Would say he's been let down also by our finishing, especially Daka. But then again that's on the board for not getting a striker in

[JayT - Always A Fox!]

I think if we offered him the job next season he would take it. It would be interesting to see what he could do with his own players, he’s the kind of manager in terms of character that we need, I’m not sure he could mount a promotion based team though? Is he just a motivator-type who comes in and gives a lift? Who knows. 
 

I’m praying whoever we get can completely overhaul this team - and Rowett would already know who needs to stay/go and the type of player we need to target to bring in.

 

I know most of us have been frustrated with his limited tactics, but he’s already referenced that this squad was built to play a particular way, and I don’t think they’re capable of playing any other - so I think he would change it up eventually with the right profile of player being brought in.

[TommyK]

I was for GR when he joined. But his reintroduction if Winks, BCR and others is just stupid. 

 

Why were paying for Aribo wages I have no idea when it was obvious we needed a striker in the winter. 

 

I know thats not on Rowett. But his lack of use of other players and changing the team is his downfall. 

 

Baffling decisions by the club.

Im not buying any statistical significance for the 2 clean sheets. Bristol were bang out of form, and missed a penalty. If that goes in (it was a poor one) then we all know what happens in that game.

 

Watford were bang out of form as well, and were simply awful on the day. The draw was not in any way shape or form an indication of us being any better. That game should have been won.

 

Rowett is a complete fraud.

I I'm not pro him 😂 and he's become another yes man

 

I don't blame him for players missing chances like the bucket load at Watford, Sheffield Wed and Preston. 

 

He was brought in to solid us up and get us organised. He somewhat has with the organisation, we just now concede soft set pieces or other goals of our own mistakes that's happened all season. 

 

He has improved more players than Marti did though. Thomas for one who was previously getting dogs abuse, correctly. 

 

He's failed and proved to be no good but has had to work with moronic players. Should have done better and rightly going out the door

And that’s benefited us how?

He has won 25 percent of the games the sacked manager won over the same period.

The fact of the matter is the longer he has with us the worse we have got.

3 points from the last 6 against teams all in the lower half of the table.

I'm not arguing he's done a good job overall just what good things he may have done 😂

 

He's not been good enough and has failed. Home form been embarrassing. Deserves to be moved on as he obviously will in the summer. 

 

Just shows how rotten the club is that every manager keeps failing

I’m baffled with your comments suggesting maybe Rowett could do a job next year. There is zero evidence to suggest giving him a chance would be anything other than catastrophic. He’s now averaging well under a point per game. He’s not motivated the group and there’s been no lift or manager bounce. He’s been shown to be predictable with his team selection, formation and tactics. A terrible recruitment that has to end after Blackburn away, if not before then.

I had another listen to Begovic talking about the goal and how it was 'just chaos, luck of the draw, one of those'. When you go along with the nonsense of cramming your own box, you're inviting that chaos onto yourself.

 

When you're as hopeless defensively as we are, at least make life simpler and take men out of the box.

He also said 'we just need to keep doing the right things'. Last week Jakub looked heart broken, this week Begovic just talking media nonsense and couldnt give a shit.

Beggo is an absolute giant but he won’t ever come off his line. Painful to watch. He needs to retire.

[Getin]

Poor substitutions both timing and choice. Ditching young players who would at least have  energy ( something that all the stats reveal that the established players are dreadful at) A complete failure to look at changes in formation and oh so repetitive boring interviews. He might as well leave after Tuesday.

Your point about lack of a senior striker being brought in was a dereliction of duty. 

It's something we've done time and again. 

Even out our peak, an extra striker in either of the seasons we missed out on champions League and we'd have made it.
