Or inadequate coaching to mitigate against that. Deej 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammy03 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 8 hours ago, Sport Billy said: Our good run coincided with Bielik being in the team ,b it ended when he got injured , absolutely nothing to do with Rooney's management Bielik had some impact undoubtedly, he's a fantastic player. But I do believe Rooney simplifying the game for the players was a reason for a good run too. We played better football than we did under Cocu, and most importantly it was more effective. We won the two games after the game in which Bielik was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Rooney is going to be a top manager. He understands tactics and knows what is required to be successful. We'll be singing his name from the rooftops when we get promoted. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 How much is Rooney really paid though? His deal when he came here was on basis of being a player right? Surely that contract was null and void when he retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcanRam Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've been away for a week until last night and for my sanity stayed off here. Scanning through this I'm quite surprised with some of the comments and will offer a different viewpoint. Having seen the first four games of the season, and having been at three of them, I think we're seeing a more progressive style of football and, almost for the first time under Rooney, discernible patterns of play and an emerging sense of what we're trying to do. We've won two, drawn one and lost one. The defeat at Peterborough wan't down to Rooney, it was down to player errors, both of which got punished. I'm under no doubt this will be a long hard season, but we've started better than I'd thought and for Derby to take the lead in all three league games so far is something I'd never have predicted, especially given the players at our disposal. It looks to me that Rooney is starting to make his mark. It might not be good enough, who knows, but the early signs are that it's progress from last season, that's for sure.

In Rooney’s early days we saw some of the fluency we saw yesterday. There is a core of players who generate that fluency and who thrive on it. Too often, those players have not been picked.

Too often we haven't the squad to pick them and last season, most of it was spent 'fire-fighting'. So whilst our current squad is still thin it's still too soon to know where we're going with it.
