Can Curtis do all of the aftermatch (math?) interviews instead?......he's a natural and intelligent speaker. Not gonna lie. Got a bit of a man-crush on our Curtis. Love his interviews. Love his no nonsense playing style too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 One of 3 over 30's signings that Rowett has been criticised for this season. Turns 33 tomorrow, 7 MOM awards to his name, 3 more than Vydra. Highest rated Championship player on whoscored.com for most of the season, lost count how many team of the weeks he has been named in. I don't see him winning player of the season, faces tough competition from Carson and Vydra for that award, but for me, he's the signing of the summer, regardless of his age. Doesn't stand out for doing anything spectacular, stands out for doing his job on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly, Rich works best with a competent, reliable centre-half partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we gave them a fashion lesson, The fact that he is 'one of our own' means he will surely sweep all before him - just believe! what as in steve we believe ,ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Been thinking about this, and I reckon Gary Rowett's biggest achievement might well be... ...managing Mel.

LazloW Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I like Rowett, the man. Quite articulate, seems genuinely passionate about the club, doesn't mind winding up Forest (can't be a bad thing) and seems intelligent. I also think Rowett will have a very good managerial career. He'll be sought after by struggling clubs. Get into a team, make them more solid, hard(er) to break down and so on... but it won't be pretty. That is, if he doesn't change of course. I really really hope that he can find a way to inject some positivity, flair and a bit of abandon into how we play. Not fussed about whether its bringing kids through (seems to be the 'stick of the week' from Rowett and Mel haters to beat them with) or just changing a mindset, but for a season where we have - and still are - challenging for promotion, it has been oddly dull for me. I hate seeing us concede possession, I hate letting other teams pass it around while we keep our shape, I hate not seeing midfielders get beyond the strikers. I don't mind the odd longer ball, it doesn't have to be tippy-tappy, but I want to see us on the front foot, taking the game to people and playing with tempo. We do it now and again; we don't do it often enough. Obviously, I wouldn't sack him or anything so daft. He is young, relatively inexperienced and learning his craft. We could have a real gem... but, for me, only if he can just tweak his mindset a bit and start thinking about the 25,000 who want to see us 'play', not just get a result. As a registered happy clapper, thats about as negative as you're gojng to get from me. I don't want this to be interpreted as mindless GR hating or harking back to the good old days of Mac1... but where I do agree with those that do, is that what I consider to be attritional and pragmatic football only takes you - or a manager - so far. We need to mix it up. I expect many will disagree... fair enough. Its only a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically wassell as he knows the club inside out and has will have developed and matured since his last stab at the job or even warburton whose teams i generally enjoy watching. My big question at the moment is why lots assume that a young highly regarded manager with potential is totally locked in to one style ,one formation by fans for the rest of his career so they want rid , ( although I don’t totally go along with the rowettball stuff), in his time even up till now I have seen glimpses of some decent stuff played at times , who’s to say rowett is not doing what he feels is right with the players / budget and division we are in at present but can/will evolve ,learn and adjust as we move forward ? I think it’s fair to say that he will be trying to balance anything he wants to do with the fact that he has to get results too ,, Pearson tried to change things at the cost results and was gone quick smart and as much as people give it the style and entertainment is everything we all know if results are bad the calls for rowetts head would be long and loud and a bit more enticing to mels ears , im no rowett fanboy but I feel totally that he is not or ever will be given a fair shake by some.

I think we have seen little evidence of a real change in tactics from Gary...it's essentially the same format each week with alterations of staff... This is the way he organised his team's at Birmingham and Burton so I can't see why he's going to change it anything soon....that's the way Gary likes to play. If football improved and we played better,I'd be onboard the rowett fun bus but not just because he used to play for us and and gets wound up at forest matches.

Why? Because he is "passionate" and behaves like a fan as opposed to a manager. Had he not been so timid in his starting 11, all 3 points were there for the taking. I have to say this thread is pretty amusing. One week ago alf of the forum was baying for blood, but he has some stupid digs at Forest and all of sudden its like he's the messiah I thought his antics were amusing, but clearly a man feeling the pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
