Should Rooney be doing better under the current circumstances?

So how do you know the other managers on your list would not be the same?

We will never know but a 23% win rate was not a too difficult target to beat…

I’ve said plenty against MM on here and plenty that’s been complementary of Rooney. All this black and white stuff is far too simplistic.

Did you see Sibley in the U23s last night?

No. Isn't it the manager's job to get the best out of players?

It's inevitable when the thread is attached to a poll which tries to turn a fairly complex question into a simple "yes or no".

Well if so Pat Lyons didn't manage it on Friday night.

To be honest I never understood signing Allsop when we had two keepers already. Marshall would be a good back up.

We desperately needed another forward.

Marhsall is on too high a wage and he wasn't first choice. Maybe both Marhsall and Roos will be gone in January.

This is such a strange thread considering everything that has and is going on and in terms of our overall performances I think Rooney is not far off manager of the season if the league were to finish now

I think Rooney has been on a hiding to nothing in his time here.  I think because of how competitive this squad has been in each individual game, people have forgotten what a cobbled together mess it is.

 

I honestly think to have this squad having acquired 22 points is outstanding work.  We're going down, there's no doubt about it, so to have to keep individual motivated week in week out when there is little to play for, is superb work.  I think it might get worse as the season goes on unfortunately, but I honestly think Rooney has done a superb job.  For what he has at his disposal.  

 

In summary, no, I don't think he should be doing better in the circumstances.  The circumstances are truly dire, he's doing better than I expected.

Fair enough, @kevinhectoring, I take it back if that is the case.

Bottom of the championship,second worst win out of all the teams in the league and a total of five wins from 36 games.

Thats a unique set of qualifications for manager of the season.
