If we don’t win in our first 6 in what looks like a relatively easy start, that would be 1 win in 22 games. Has any manager in history survived with a record like that ?

Great, so you misread my post, glad you understand it now. This is a forum to discuss all things Rams. A discussion about how long you give the Manager if we start poorly, after the dreadful end to last season, is a legitimate topic. How many more games would you give him without a win?

If you think I misread your post then fine. I am just not wanting to think about not winning any of the first 6 games that’s all. I concede if that happened it wouldn’t be great .

Zag zig Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Heart hopes for mid table as @LeedsCityRammentioned compared to a few others, our potential squad is on a par with a few that comfortably made that last season. Head says there was 4 teams making such a ricket of staying up last season, it was hard for others not to comfortably make mid table last year, so if we scrape up in a tougher environment because either lack cutting edge or legs at that back in stages of the season, I’ll take that 4th or 5th bottom place and hope our financial woes are not as constrained 2022/23. In truth, really I just want to feel excited watching live football, seeing my team win the odd big game and everyone feeling a little more positive about our future as a result.

maxjam Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hopes for the season... With the squad we've got currently, survival. Anything else is a bonus. What I want to see this season is to reach a (satisfactory) conclusion with the EFL on all charges and a takeover completed with the new owners setting out a strategy and investment plan to have us challenging in the top 6 year on year again. I can cope with a season (or two!) of dross so long as there is a positive change coming. Miggins, Jimbo Ram, Zag zig and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Even as i am satisfied with survival, on and off the field, that's not how i want the players to think, they must be hungering to win more games than lose. Guess i want more than survival. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could look at it from a different angle and think with the cards dealt they may be a good hand in there still He merely posted a potential scenario and asked whether Rooney should still be in a job if he lost the first 6 games and you jumped down his throat. He didn't say it would happen - he just asked what would happen if such a thing did come to pass. Maybe we will win the league, maybe Rooney sets an all time points record with this squad, but to completely disregard the other side of the coin does nobody any favours. You can't improve or remedy any problems if you just bury your head in the sand and completely ignore them in the first place. The club is facing a number of issues at the moment as we all know and whilst nobody knows how the team will perform when the season starts it doesn't mean people can't be worried about the situation our club currently finds itself in.

He will know how to get the best of that lot. With Wazza he hasn’t got the same experience and is in the learning phase and may not get the best of them. Hoping he has learned enough to get us toward mid table. Grimbeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
