Sexydadbod Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think it’s safe to say that we won’t be finishing in the play offs if we get dominated by rubbish teams like Sunderland at home, who could be winning by 6 or 7. I like Rowett as a person I really do and he clearly loves this club as seen by his passion against Forest but there’s no point keeping him for the sake of it as things could get worse. As a coach and tactician, he is very poor and that isn’t based just off today’s performance. McClaren was criticised for not having a plan B but at least he changed the formation to 4-2-4 when required whereas Rowett doesn’t change anything. Under McClaren everyone could see that the players were clearly coached whereas the players seem to get worse the more time Rowett has to work with them. For me, Rowett has to go as he has not done anything to warrant staying here next season and beyond. There’s a chance that we could finish below 9th and for me, that is not progress. He sold our 2 best players in Ince and Hughes at the start of the year and for me, the warning signs were right there as he clearly didn’t appreciate their technical ability. I don’t buy that they wanted to go because if Rowett really wanted them, he could have persuaded them to stay 1 more year. Another thing that bugs me is his reluctance to start Palmer who is clearly a talent. Nice man but he hasn’t done anything to stay here any longer.

KCG Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Yes he does, because you don't ask a manger to off-load your best players and replace with make-shift and expect miracles, especially when it's been obvious for an age that our squad just isn't good enough.

StockholmRam Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think if he finishes outside the playoffs after being 2nd a fair while then he could be in trouble. First time on this forum I have entered into a manager stick or twist thread. Too many shout " wrist slasher" when opinion is the bread and butter of the jobbing long suffering fan. After what I've just watched I wouldn't be surprised if Mel sacks him in the next five minutes, in the dressing room, in front of the team. A very very poor performance all round.

GrimsbyRam Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 An emphatic no. Nigel Clough did a lot better with a lot less. He has made us into a joke. The football is poor. He says he would buy young hungry players. Yet signs a journeyman and lets two better strikers go. Bent has scored as many in a struggling burton side as Jerome has in a side that was second. It is obvious to anybody that Forsyth was finished after his last injury but rowett authorises a new contract. Palmer has been our biggest threat and he does not play him. When he does he expects him to play deep midfield. We have one saleable asset left in Vydra. It’s a good job we are not fourth from bottom as we will struggle to win another game this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 He doesnt deserve to stay for the rest of this season based on recent form and the fact he appears to be clueless when things are not going well. We have lost better managers for far less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 He might as well be. We can't change again. It's pointless. I've long since been bored with the way he plays football, lines his side up and I'm of the opinion that he buggered up what little he did have in January's mess of a window but if we're backing a manager we're backing him. Our football is play-offs at the very best, we're merely levelling out, regardless of the debacle tonight. I didn't think we looked very good when we were winning with Vydra magic and streaked our way to the automatics. That might sound daft but we just didn't look good to me. Solid yes but nothing much else, no nice football, hook and run stuff with a star performer. Vydra went off the boil, we lose Winnall, the squad is then weakened in January and that's that. We needed a winger tonight, we currently don't own one. We let Russell go on his jollies without a plan in place before releasing him, nigh on incompetence. All Sunderland needed was crosses into the box, all of our players barring Weimann are narrow. We couldn't have worked them better if we'd tried, the pieces aren't there. Give Rowett another year because, quite frankly, who else would we get? We don't have any intention as a club of whatever on earth the 'Derby Way' is if this is what we're serving up so if we're going percentage stuff he's the best man for it. Fulham have the system that we should've never deviated from. I blame everyone in the hierarchy for abandoning that, regardless of the Clement boredom that followed McLarens second season. A lot of people seem to like Rowetts football and they are welcome to it, I'll nod my head and stop watching. Here's to a team of Jerome's, ladies and gentleman. All working, all running, all percentage. Ah well. And to think, I actually like Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wixman1884 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 No. McClaren was sacked twice for far less. The football was even better under Clement. Of the last 4 seasons, this has been the one to forget for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 My only concern is who would replace him? The only person who springs to mind is Jokanovic and, even though he apparently isn't too happy at Fulham, I suspect he will be beyond our reach come the end of the season.

SSD Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I'd give him next season if he promises he'll completely overhaul this squad and start from square one. I wouldn't mind if we sold everyone minus Carson, Davies and Vydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 9 games ago we were 2nd? Since then we have played 8 (only 1 against a rival) and gained 5 points.. In that same time Cardiff 24 points Fulham 21 points Pathetic...abysmal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I’m tempted to say yes because, in my eyes, McClaren got sacked for less. But We just can’t sack another manager, we genuinely can’t. If we sack him, I’d want Mel gone too, I mean that. It’s beyond ridiculous now, I think Rowett and McClaren made mistakes in their poor runs but there isn’t much you can do as a manager when you are systemically set up to fail. Constant change of managers, playing style, playing staff and wage structures has completely ******* us. It’s *******, I really thought we’d be back to some sort of decent financial position this summer but handing out contracts to Ledley, Davies, Huddlestone, Jerome, Thorne and co has done us in again. My criticism of Rowett would be that this year was meant to be about rebuilding but we did nothing of the sort. Short term signings dropping down from the PL, no inclusion of youth players and the refusal to give Martin (proven striker at this level under 30, in his prime) makes us look like a team throwing the kitchen sink at promotion again. Honestly, I’m fuming because we just repeated the same mistakes over again. No one expected a proper promotion push this year, we could have got away with blooding a few kids and signing exclusively young players. But we didn’t. Rowett has taken us nowhere so far but he should be given the leeway that McClaren wasn’t to right the wrongs of the pay few years. The Sam Rush revelations have only made it worse. Maybe my worst week as a derby fan since the dark days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 No. Pathetic management. We're in relegation form. He has to go now. Our football is awful, and our results even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
