Posh Ram Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My hope is that Rowett guts the squad quite a lot. He'll be changing the style of play a bit I'd have thought (to a 4-4-2 maybe?) and I know from a very strong source that the dressing room is dominated by a couple of players who are close with Mel Morris (some of whom, imo, don't merit the status they apparently enjoy based on their standard of play). I'd look to get rid of Keogh, Shackell, Olsson, Butterfield, (regrettably) Bryson, Russell, Blackman and Bent. Jon Toral is a really good suggestion. What about Marc Roberts or Tom Clarke to play CB?

Also, the group doesn't include Bryson or Hughes. Don't really want to say any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Personally I'd like us to have a look at Connor Coady from Wolves. Hes different from any other midfielder we have in the squad and will add a bit of bite into the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I should clarify - that group had a big role in Pearson's sacking. I haven't heard from my source on McClaren, just think it's a reasonable assumption that some of those players had a role.

You could assume Keogh as captain but no more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If at a place of work, your manager is being unreasonable then you have the ability to speak to his boss. If his boss agrees then he will take action.

They said that the players wanted to get back to 4-3-3 because they thought that suited us better, so undermined Pearson by going to Morris and getting him sacked.
