He also dwells on the ball somewhat, a couple or more times today he was caught in possession but just managed to get away with it. He didn't get to the player who put their chance over either, turned his back on it. He's okay but we need better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purposely played a different game to nullify the Boro press. They just didn't know what to do. This is plan B. Mark of a good manager. He's properly won me over. Hats off to him.

COYR From what I can see, our 1st 13 games yielded 6 (six) points and 9 losses The following 15 games have yielded 25 points and 4 losses. I'm still pee'd off about that goal we coceded in the 6th minute of the 5 added on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we surrendered draws at home to Preston and Rotherham and stopped trying to score against Stoke. But that's not really the point. My blood pressure is already dangerously high and, in the words of George Bailey, I want to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Possibly our worst performance under Rooney, absolutely no quality and long ball after long ball. Was clearly a tactic though rather than something the players just decided to do. All about results at the moment though so certainly no complaints from me.

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Scrappy today, but some good moments nonetheless, great runs and options by Byrne, Kazim Richards really good in the main, Gregory adds an extra threat. Wisdom looked solid, Shinnie excellent. Looked like we were hanging on at the end, couldn't get hold of the ball and gave away constant free kicks. Very well worked corner and excellent strike for second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless we have a lotto win) his relative weakness in the air is for me more tha outweighed by his ability to tackle, keep and control the ball in a melee . .. I do agree there are moments when he seems slow to pass it and can get caught but as a solid defender with some decent skills he makes the grade for me.

Fed up with some posters whingeing about the quality of our football, we're a relegation-threatened team so the most important requirement, at least until we get well clear of the bottom 3, is a determination to not get beaten. Didn't do enough against Rotterham but that apart, under Rooney we've shown we are capable of scraping together enough points to achieve all that remains of this seasons' objectives - keeping our Championship status.

In the long run I agree with you but right now he has my full support, and offers more to the team than he takes away imo. Keogh passed it straight to the opposition 6-7 times a season, got beaten in the air by 'big men' many times, got his legs tangled up when faced with tricky players quite often in his career here, and panicked when he should have kept calm. He was still a very good player for us, however, and the good outweighed the bad Wisdom has done more than enough in our current predicament to be worth keeping around.

I've still not given up on my bet on us to finish in the top half. Think the next 2 weeks will give us a better idea of whether or not that is possible.
