WystonRam Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think he proved he was a good manager at Burton and Birmingham ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 As a glass half full type of bloke I am going with good Manager. I’m not one of these people who love a good fail. Really pleased for him and everyone involved including all of us. Still a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Who knows? too soon to tell but he's a brave one selling Ince and Hughes . He's also a say one thing do another kinda guy but at the moment he's doing ok, not keen on the football but I like winning a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I seem to remember a quote "The harder a team works, the luckier they get" Maybe Rowett is a grafter and has got his team doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Being lucky is a good talent to have. I think he's a good manager who has good luck or a happy knack or whatever you want to call it. If he was lucky but no good hed not have got as far as he has.

G STAR RAM Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Not sure what had happened that would make him a lucky manager? We've had a few penalties this season but I think that's because we look to get in behind teams more I guess. Surely a good manager is someone who gets his players working hard for him and doing what they are instructed to do. Then it all becomes about whether the instructions that the manager is giving are the correct ones. In that respect, I think he is taking forward steps. You don't become a good or lucky manager over such a short period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think we've had our fair share of good and bad luck this season. I doubt luck has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 How can you be a lucky manager? Okay, we might have got a few penalties, but we've had our fair share of poor decisions, same for every other side in this league. Don't think luck has anything to do with it.

Kernow Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This isn't aimed specifically at the OP but just a general thing I've noticed that fits into this topic. It seems every time we win, we are "lucky". It's lucky every time Carson makes a save, or if they miss the target, or if they give away a penalty or if they have more possession. Yet it's never lucky when we miss chances or the keeper makes a good save. That's always ignored. Wouldn't it be nice to just appreciate our hard-work which has resulted in a good run of form with some very impressive results, instead of trying to suggest another artificial reason is behind our current short-term success?

uttoxram75 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We'll know how good Gary is this time next season after two more transfer windows and hopefully with the squad he wants. This is his first job with big expectations imo, Burton is a fairytale and Brum, with all due respect, don't have the infrastrucure in place like we do. The most pleasing thing about this little run is how easy we see games out when winning. No more panicking or giving away soft, late goals. I would say that is definitely down to the managers ability to "game manage" and not luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 GR's stats as manager Played--------------Won-------------Drawn-------------Lost 266 116 69 81 A relatively inexperienced manager doesn't get those stats by being lucky.

therealhantsram Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We have certainly had our share of luck in the last few games. But there is an old quote that I firmly believe in "I find the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have". I dare say Gary believes in that too.
