So it comes back to yet **again** you didn't understand my first post, and now you've wasted your own time digging for my posts contrary to what I said today, which don't exist. I'm not digging around your old posts, just the topic of Rooney's permanent appointment. I'm still not entirely sure how you can be simultaneously happy with a managerial appointment yet also not think the guy had done enough to deserve it, but OK.

I don't understand how you aren't getting this. We. Are. Talking. About. Different. Time. Frames. When Rooney was officially appointed, and when he was de facto appointed are very different.

I wanted a new manager in and all the coaching staff out after Cocu. I gave Rooney a chance when he was permanently appointed. You showed screenshots after the latter. Now please stop replying, I can't bang my head on the wall again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Well it’s still mathematically possible to survive, but looking really bleak. Players not playing to the expected level and not looking like they care enough. Alongside a rookie manager telling everyone that’ll listen that we aren’t in danger of going down, whilst playing some of the worst negative football I’ve seen us play. The club is rotten to the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Probably been said already but the goals conceded, do the players really care? The defending against Blackburn for the corner and last night, lack of marking, basics going wrong clearing a cross and trying to claim offside and almost stop playing, really amateurish. The club needs a clear out. There isn’t the drive and determination needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem was we had no money to sack cocu and had to wait for him to resign, he should have been sacked weeks previous, then we had to go for the youth opportunities scheme guy who had his salary funded externally.

Ghost of Clough Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 We repeatedly have the same people commenting on Bird's passing being too negative. So i've looked into the numbers for last night. Bird's passing: Backwards - 17 (33%) Sideways - 21 (40%) Forwards - 14 (27%) 27% sounds quite low in all honesty. Let's look at a player we would all love to have in our side. Hughes (excluding corners): Backwards - 21 (58%) Sideways - 8 (22%) Forwards - 7 (19%) Ah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Buchanan has legs to get up and down more and faster, Fozzie hit far better balls across first half; unfortunately Buchanan never really delivered much in my opinion. His time will come, not being over critical of him but unless Fozzie was tiring, it was a mistake in this game, we should have persevered longer. All opinions. Don’t think either way that it would have made any difference to the result... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think people often miss the mark in that regard with Bird. More often than not Bird goes sideways or backwards when there isn't much on so he either has the choice of risky ball forward that's likely to get cut out or move the ball on and get into space. If you watch when forward players actually do create space he does often try to hit them early and is one of very few players in the squad capable of passing between the lines. Bird going sideways and backwards frequently is usually more a symptom of other problems in the team; lack of movement, tactical imbalances, not enough forward options and lack of a plan/coaching to progress up the pitch/create overloads/create space.

He was awful last night, for some odd reason he spent most of the 1st half tugging on the leg of his shorts. He wandered around with his head down lots too. He's not any kind of midfield engine or dynamo that is going to lead our midfield. And to compare him with Will is the biggest joke going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottingram Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Bird is fine but as with lots of these young players he is not a game changer. He will supplement a good team quite nicely but he will not turn a bad team into a good team. It is unfair to expect him to do so. You could have put Michael Carrick where Bird was yesterday and it wouldn’t have made any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarodyDCFC Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not sure why we changed the system despite Jozwiak’s injury. Surely Sibz could’ve filled in for Jozwiak and we’d have had a front three of Loz, Sibz and Roberts. The front three we had against Blackburn was much more dynamic, CKR has been anonymous lately. At least we created some half decent chances against Blackburn, against Preston N.E we created nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
