These games are often as much about not losing as they are about winning unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the man has an arrogance surrounding him that really irks me. For somebody who hasn't won (or ultimately achieved) anything yet in his career, he acts like the world owes him something. When you're failing to beat Reading, QPR, Forest away from home, you're in no position to be acting the big man. It's not good enough. Don't know how old you are Haribo but there are some of us that recall very similar comments being made about our manager in the late 1960s. Although you might argue that that didn't end so well the journey was well worth travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I liked what he did. Nearly all us fans would have wanted to do the same thing I warrant. I also like that GR talks like a fan and is happy to explain what he did and why. But he doesn’t have to justify his decisions...he’s the manager. A bit of arrogance is also fine by me. Most of the best managers have that and it goes well with players who will want to play with that same type of arrogance, as Utd used to under Ferguson. Look, he hasn’t been in the job for a full season yet so let’s give him some time. He’s still having to use many players bought by previous managers, some of which I am sure he wouldn’t have brought to the club. Everyone was complaining about the managers not being given enough time. Then when we get one in who has some real potential so many fans start complaining again. What happened to a bit of real patience ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been, I didn't want to look it up so plumped for Pearson, based on the fact I can't remember Grant sitting on the bench for a whole year before joining Stoke.

BondJovi Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 My only slight gripe was not starting Palmer but i can see reason behind it. Rowett has taken plenty of flak of late for not making subs soon enough but he wasted no time today and they changed the game. Saw a stat on Sky that we are joint top for most goals scored by subs, this was probably an ideal match for Winnall last 15... I think he spoke a lot of sense post match. Any manager needs an arrogance to get to the top, but also a willingness to adapt when things go wrong. I was starting to lose a bit of belief that Rowett was going to be the right long term choice but i think it will come good. McClaren got abuse on here from some for laughing and joking with opposition managers even when we were losing, certainly not a stick you can beat Rowett with!

Highgate Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 2 hours ago, Ted McMinn Football Genius said: Hope for you, that’s fine with me. I am so confident I am happy to state “no doubt” GR isn’t a religious figure for me, absolutely not.... because I have seen him in the flesh with my own 2 eyes ergo he is real. Unlike most religious figures that people around the world put their faith in. (Which by the way is fine with me too) ?? So no, not a religious figure or anything like that @Highgate just a good fit for our club IMHO. I hope your overconfidence (in my view) in Rowett won't be proven unjustified. Don't know where such remarkable faith comes from if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
