The first half was possibly the worst I’ve seen at Pride Park. It must have felt like I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here to England’s and Manchester United’s record goal scorer. I can’t imagine him NOT having something to say. They did come out with a lot more fire in their bellies, if not much more quality. It was his third game in the dugout. Why didn't he bother saying anything at half time in the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know. There comes a point where he may feel he’s worked with the guys enough to chime in. Stranger things happen. A lot of things are said in dressing rooms, Einstein.

I wasn't particularly having a dig at you, it just seems strange that it's never the manager who has a positive effect during a game. In Frank's tenure it was always Jodie Morris who got the hair dryer out and now it's Rooney. As I said, why didn't he say anything in the other two games? Or before the games? He doesn't strike me as a shrinking violet. I'm sure that if he had anything to say he would have said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know Jody or anyone else but Cocu is blasting the players in the dressing room? Unless I've missed something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aññ have pre-conceived ideas about managers and their assistants, but it's quite possible that when the supposedly manered manager gets his back up he's actually worse than the bulldog!

Wardrobe ‘errrrrr,everyone did we all had an input’. It’s worth watching his interview post match and seeing his reaction when asked,as(like)you say we’ve no idea what’s said. Are our stats with Rooney drawn 2 and lost 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Cocu looks pragmatic and relaxed a lot of the time, I would not be surprised to discover he would actually tear someone to shreds before flicking his hair over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I’m looking forward to watching Rooney and Martin play together. That might just be something special,slow but special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While true; I would point out that if everyone on a team was old and slow it would take an awful lot of quick passes to make any progress ? So it is a factor. If Rooney and Martin are destined to play together we need energy around them; that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need someone to run into it though. Lawrence,Whittaker,Marriott,Holmes? I am quite happy for Rooney to smash in Wardrobe’s flicks from 30 yards though.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Just watched Gary Neville soccer box with Rooney. Some of the goals he scored, i nearly forgot how good he was...Even if he is just half as good when he puts on a Ram shirt he should be better than the rest, no doubt.

i-Ram Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Can’t wait for this guy to be in the team. We really have no leader or spine. I know he is long past his best, but he will galvanise a number of our young players. He will be greatly influential too in shaping the style Cocu wants. Roll on 2020.

Millenniumram Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Gotta hope he’ll make a difference. A true quality player, and Should be a leader on the pitch. Trouble is, I’m not sure anything will make any difference under this manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
