Curtains Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hope I’ve not misquoted him but I have heard him say it on several occasions on RD . Rooney needs to step back on playing if he wants to be manager as IMO he can’t do both . Obviously he’s been a great player and he’s still good but he tends to slow us right down Hasten to add this is my opinion as I want Knight running at defenses fro midfield.

neil62uk Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I made a comment about meeting Eric Steele back in the late 90s in another post He,s a two faced hypocrite and as done nothing to change my views on him Can only reiterate he had the audacity to call Lionel Pickering Wish recording phones were out then ?

Wsm-ram Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I guess the question is,are we a better team with ROONEY in it ?. I would say no. Constantly shoe horning him into the side weakens us as a unit and slows us down. 5 or 10 years ago this obviously wouldn't be a conversation but then he wouldn't be here with the ability he used to have.

One of the positive things though was Knight driving at defenses from midfield. Now to be honest it’s early days in this management regime so let’s hope they can learn from mistakes fast. I actually think all is not lost and they need to look at the game plan . Come on you Rams We have to stay positive as do the players and Ros and Roo.

I’m not sure we were slow yesterday. What I saw was the usual toothlessness in the final third. I don’t think Rooney was the problem, though I do accept prior to yesterday he had been inconsistent at best- especially playing in a more advanced role. I still think I’d be giving any of Stretton, Triallist, Whittaker and Duncan a go up top from the start as we’d be no worse off. But what do I know.

Well you have a point because Waghorn, Lawrence and Holmes we’re totally ineffective so they couldn’t do any worse. Those players I have named need to step up or be dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
