Questions you'd ask Rowett

Were you there? Because Woods ran the game for them and Johnson was nowhere near him most of the time - I suspect they took him off because he'd never had so much freedom in his entire career and was shattered from having so much of the ball :)

In more seriousness - I think they took him off and stuck on another striker to play a more direct style - I actually thought they didn't look as good after they took him off and we started to look a little more comfortable - But the more direct style worked for them in the end

looked like we were playing a sort of 5-3-0-2 formation, just like watching Barca

"Why on earth did he think we could be top 6"? - nevermind top 2! His answer might help me 'stick or twist'. But I can't see anything about where he has the team now that convinces me we'd make top 6.

Of course he'd say we're aiming at top 6 at the start of the season. Probably 3/4 of the teams in this division would say the same. It's a case of damned if you do & damned if you don't. How do you think people on here (and players) would react if he'd said we're expecting mid-table mediocrity at best?. Most on here would be slamming him for showing a lack of ambition.

As for him saying top 2. OK, maybe that was stretching it a tad but what's the saying? If you want the moon, then aim for the stars.

Anyhoo, my question for him would be: Is the style of football we're seeing (good and bad bits) a true reflection of his strategy for each game, or are we failing to play the way he wants due to lack of the right personnel / players not doing what is asked of them?.

Does Carson have any money?

Does Baird have a fit missus?

What surprised Keogh as the wind changed?

Curtis Davies, why?

Why has Forsyth lost all defensive composure and intelligence?

Does Huddlestone run in training?

Can Bradley Johnson pass wind?

Does Tom Lawrence look at his own YouTube reel?

What does Vydra do in the gym?

Does Weimann skip around on the team bus?

Does Nugent regret signing now?

Oh no - I definitely identified Johnson as playing the number 10 role - He spent the entire game wandering around in the space created by them having all the possession deep into our half - Admittedly he never seemed to be in space on the rare occasions we were attacking - Just when they were

1) Why did you make a point of the midfield lacking athleticism before the start of the summer and then proceed ton only exacerbate the issue by buying Huddlestone and selling off the more mobile midfielders (Hughes and Bryson) ?

2) Why having made the point about wanting young and hungry players and not aging Prem players, did you proceed to acquire 3 players who played in the Prem last season who are north of 30 ?

3) Why do you bang on about your admiration of Klopp's style of play yet your playstyle shows very very little resemblance of it ?

4) Why did you make about being flexible in tactics and formation yet we now seem to only have players for a 4231/442 ?

5) What's happened with Russell ?

6) Why do you make a point about being unfairly attributed to a 'agricultural' playstyle yet encourage a play style that seemingly leads to a lot of aimless long balls ?

7) Why was Hughes sold so cheaply ? So early in the summer ?

8) Why does Ince's statement about leaving directly contradict yours ?

9) Why was Bryson not given an opportunity when we looked at 433 ?

10) Why did you let Bryson and Butterfield go out on loan to supposed play off rivals before a replacement was bought?

11) Why did you think the performance at Brentford was remotely acceptable ?

12) Why is a playstyle of sitting back and counterattacking the best way to play for the team ?

I'm sure there's more but that is what I'd start with.

They have just torn up your invite to the next cosy meet masquerading as a fans forum. God forbid anyone asks a direct question.
