Comrade 86 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Certainly done well since leaving us but playing more on left side of MF apparently. Anyway, best of luck Scotty lad, though not against us obvs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seemed more comfortable attacking than defending as I recall, so not such a crazy idea, as is now proven. Seems Rowett might be a better manage than was widely supposed.

Anyway, best of luck Scotty lad, though not against us obvs! I think it's more of a wing-back role, but one where his starting position is quite high up the pitch. I think that role suits him more. I don't think there were many questions of his attacking capability when he was here, and he did fairly well with the attack-heavy play of Lampard, but his defensive play under Cocu wasn't great.

Yep, just posted similar thoughts myself buddy. I think in fairness he was a better player than he got credit for in most regards, to be honest. jono and Will Hughes Hair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Rowett got the best out of quite a few players. Vydra was completely useless before Rowett came in, and look how he did under him. Rowett's biggest problem was his style of play. It's actually a style that I like when tweaked slightly, just not so defensive from the outset. I know @DarkFruitsRam7 would agree with me.

Pearl Ram Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 The way he set us up in that second leg at Fulham was criminal and he should have had his coaching badges revoked as punishment and charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

A bit of luck for either of them on the day we would be saying it was a master plan. Mac I did it his way and the same thing happened. Wee Billy on the other hand got away with it.

I dunno and clearly some don't agree but all three deserve some sort of kudos for getting us there in the first place, despite the lack of ambition shown once there and all 3 are streets ahead of the current mob IMO. How Rooney's efforts to date rate higher is beyond my realm of understanding. Anyway, spent that whole season getting ranted at for backing Rowett, despite his football often not being easy on the eye, so will leave it there I think as I sense another bout on the way. richinspain, IslandExile and Pearl Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
