And he's been in the team these first two games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I have just read the Hull City forum. There are several on there calling for Liam Rosenior to go with some suggesting he is unlikely to survive the month and even that defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday will be the end for him. If that happens, I assume the club's interest in Max Bird will come to an end. Edited August 9, 2023 by Brailsford Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pride in wearing the shirt Still not sure whether you're serious about this comment but - for my sins - I'm into the second half of watching last night's match in full (it helps to have low expectations after what everyone has said on here) and Bird has had a decent game up to now. Only one misplaced pass, otherwise he has driven forwards, played a few searching balls, kept the ball well. He looks like what he is: a talented player who would flourish in the right situation. He certainly doesn't look like he isn't trying or - as you put it - has "no pride in wearing the shirt". So did you watch the match, or was this a wind-up?

I'm not saying he should have said it but he said a few players and it could affect the way they play as he was vastly disappointed in their abject display He did accept some responsibility but he threw Bird under the bus. Everyone knew who he meant. Radio Derby picked up on it straight away. It obvious. Zag zig, Macintosh, alram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIMBAUD Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I think he’s a good player and we are lucky to have him. I know someone who taught him and he says he is a really good lad. id like to see him have a bit more ‘devilment’ about him but you can’t change people’s personality. (See previous paragraph) I hope we keep him but if he wants to go he should go now and we all move on with best wishes all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should have said currants! I would think Mary Berry would have a decent chance of being the next manager at Forest Green Rovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The conclusion that it is Max Bird that Paul Warne referred to last night IMHO isn't really supported TBH. Who got taken off at half time? Which of them was from our squad from last season?? CH is the one that springs to mind, his links with Villa and an Acadamy coaching role was announced during the preseason and that is why CH would be my guess (and it’s exactly that) So in conclusion the evidence suggest that PW’s comment of “his head has been turned” must be aimed towards CH. The other 2 that got subbed on 45mins were this seasons signings, so I suppose they’re head or heads can’t have been turned already, I wouldn’t have thought. It goes without saying though, anyone who doesn’t want to be here should be transferred out from our club ASAP and possibly replaced by someone that does want to be here, no matter their position within the club or whomever the individual is.

You could be right but the wording given in the BBC report (I'm not vouching for its accuracy) is: "Possibly a couple of my players have had their heads turned," Warne told BBC Radio Derby. "I feel like they think there is a move or something. It feels a bit strange." Well Hourihane has already had his "move" into that role at Villa, and he's not likely to get a playing one there, so does this fit with your theory? I'm not sure it does. It seems more likely to be another player, and the obvious candidate would be Bird - which doesn't mean it is Bird, nor that Warne's view on it is accurate (or appropriate).
