BondJovi Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Sky will do a two hour build up to the match against Barnsley and Rooney isn't in the squad...oh if only to make sky look stupid. Rooney will score some spectacular goals and inspire us for a late but just short charge up the table. Shirt sales will treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolleston Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 If we are defeated tomorrow, I want to see Cocu sacked, bring in someone with Championship experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Nothing but good will come out of this, mark my words. Winner against the gumps in the play off final and a matching bust of Steve Bloomer, England's best two strikers of all time side by side ?

angieram Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 We are relishing seeing Rooney in a Derby County shirt, but just imagine how the other forwards feel - they'll be rubbing their hands together with glee thinking of the space they're going to get as everyone piles in to 'stop Rooney'.

Blondest Goat Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 On the basis that we really can't get much worse he's got to have a positive impact. But the last time there was enthusiasm of this level on this board was when Cocu was appointed and look how that's going. I'm managing my expectations accordingly.

Ellafella Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I suspect that he’ll come in for some heavy tackles from opposition hard men leading to some “altercations”. The average level of refereeing in the Championship is mediocre at best so there might be yellow & red cards. He’ll inspire us to work harder and will lift the team in training but I wonder if his playing philosophy {get the ball forward quickly} might at times be at variance with Phillip’s {cf Rooney’s comments today about Big Dunc’s style at Everton}. Intriguing and interesting in a season that I’m already losing heart about. Let’s hope playing-wise he wants to enjoy his one last hurrah and he’s not hounded by the gutter press.

Ewe Ram Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I wonder if some of these dreadful championship ref’s will be in awe of him and won’t believe they actually have the chance of refereeing a game involving Wayne Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 My concern is that he hasn't got the arrogance of a Ronaldo to just goal-hang and be prolific. He will try and prove his commitment and work hard and be everywhere, tackling, passing, driving the team on...so his impact will be slightly diluted and he won't score that many goals...less than 10 this season.
