Bris Vegas Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Couldn't those same words be applied to Gary Rowett? Or didn't he say something similar? I have a version of what those words mean, but they could easily refer to something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Rowett had a nasty habit of saying one thing and doing another entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t quite come to fruition also felt like Rowett turned his nose up at attractive football whenever it was mentioned to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if Frank can walk the walk shall we... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Fingers crossed it is. But that's with the ideal squad. As a player he could take pressure on the ball, he was attack minded and positive. Fearless. As a manager though he will have to manage the players comfort. No matter what he does Bradley Johnson isn't going to be ticking off neat one-twos on the edge of the box. Forsyth isn't going to be sliding the ball through a narrow opening with 90% accuracy. I'm really excited by today and I like his vision. But building a team is one thing. Making an inherited team adapt is another. So many pitfalls. I think Clement has found this out the hard way. At the end of the day we still lack balance in the squad. There's a number of different style influenced players. I bet compared to what he's played with and against asking some of these lads to meet his demands will be like putting David Silva in goal. I hope people give him time. You hire a rookie and they learn on the job. You get naivety at times. I'm happy for that if he advances towards his vision. Will most Rams fans?

I still have memories of everybody saying Nigel Pearson was the perfect appointment and how we'll end up playing full-throttle football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but don’t forget Frank’s going to need about 2 years to get his own team in, unless of course it was only Rowett that’s allowed to be hampered by previous managers’ players. ?

IlsonDerby Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Carson wisdom Keogh Davies Aina* Thorne Guy Da Silva* Lawrence. Palmer* Martin Subs: Mitchell Lowe Pearce Huddlestone Thomas Jerome Weimann Or Carson Wisdom Keogh Davies Da Silva* Thorne Guy. Palmer* Thomas Martin. Lawrence same subs as above but a young attacking player replacing Thomas. With 2/3 younger players from our academy or loans we could build on the solid foundations Of experience created this season. This might be a million miles away from our starting eleven in August but I can’t wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have memories of everybody saying Nigel Pearson was the perfect appointment and how we'll end up playing full-throttle football. Pearson's appointment is still the one I truly do not get but that's thankfully in the past. Lampard so far is giving a lot of encouraging indications from his interviews so far and it isn't unreasonable that as a former attacking midfielder he may be more inclined that he'd set us up to play through the midfield. At this point it's mostly conjecture but I can't help but be hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally as long as we see a clear plan of what we are going to work towards this season and a semblance of the squad transitioning in a clear direction, I'm not too fussed where we finish because we will be better set up for following seasons.
