You’re right, he brought us alive and they were scared by him. I do have some sympathy for Rooney though. He played it safe for 60/70 minutes .. they were pressing us and a rash Sibley could have messed up the “must get a draw, but a win would be nice” set up … now there’s a moot point .. for whatever reason .. nature or circumstance, I think Rooney is risk averse.

Easy to suggest it's risk averse but we had two very good chances (Watson and Lawrence) and a goal in the first half, plus two CBs who had only just been introduced. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Why did Dwayne Holmes get so much abuse from our supporters this afternoon, thought he always did OK for us when he played..... One guy shouted at him when he got subbed go and get a drink with Lawrence in the Joiners Arms now, I didn't even think Holmes had been embroiled in that episode or am I missing something..... jono, cstand, Jimbo Ram and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because what he said about about the club and the fans that's why so much hatred towards him. Phoenix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over his tenure that's been the overriding impression to me too and it's not necessarily a bad thing,you can certainly get success in that way. Not particularly my thing tho,I'd rather win 5-4 than 1-0. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well bless CKR but he's more likely to score 5 in a season than in a game, so who is gonna score our five if we let four in? Gotta start with baby steps.

However, he doesn't have the longest throw-in and gave the ball away to the opposition more often than not. He needs more movement from his team mates to give him at least a couple of viable options.

The counter is that it makes us hard to beat I agree, well on the less support. Not sure it makes us harder to beat. But I'd rather we shoe-horned the squad into 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. I think 4-2-3-1 leaves us at risk of being over run in midfield too. Edit: although I thought Carroll made a really good go of being in the two. Shinnie has qualities but him and Bird don't go well together. Edited August 7, 2021 by RoyMac5 Dean (hick) Saunders and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
