Pretty sure he came out with a fair amount of bollocks in the media when he was here as a player too?
he reminds me of my younger self speaking to my line manager after obviously tossing it off for a few weeks
Having doubts is fair enough, saying we might be better off with 'a work experience manager' is just being a twat.
Based on this forum he’s now become useless , a liar , soon he’ll lose the dressing room, then somebody will tell an ITK on here that a player says nobody respects him ( the player not being picked as usual ) he doesn’t attract anyone to come , it’s all his fault but Acun’s perfect . Our play off final was a shocking game with apart from the goal terrible football quality , this team can at least find a man . It must be great for our new players and people like Harry to read all this negative crap, where the mans hanged before being given an even playing field ( forgive the phrase) No wonder we have eff all fans !! it’s pre season which has always been crap .
FFS - the season hasn't even started - they're only friendlies - used to improve fitness, try ideas, get new players time to bed in - working on tactics etc - Man U lost to Wrexham - Sunderland lost to Bradford and Wednesday are **** anyway - no one cares - just see them for what they are - honestly
I'm a little puzzled about one thing, WHY THE HOLY **** ARE ANY OF YOU LISTENING TO OR WATCHING MANAGER INTERVIEWS? In the unlikely event they say anything at all interesting, it will be reported in the press. Why stress yourselves out? In other mindfulness advice, put Australians and accountants on Ignore. No need to thank me.
What we know is that you can't pre judge a season by pre season friendly form. We also have been led to believe that there there will be a few going and a few quality players coming in. Basically we have no idea what to expect except it will take a month or two to settle in. This about turn on the manager is ridiculous
We were shocking under shota, it just felt random. We won games because of the players individual performances, not from his tactics. We were a defensive shambles. I personally think Rosenior speaks well, and he empirically sorted our defensive chaos from under shota’s tenure. I don’t see rosenior as up himself whatsoever, he just believes in himself (obviously we need that belief to translate into consistent results and improved cutting edge). We’ve had much more annoying managers on interviews in the past, Pearson and McCann were prickly as hell, shota unintelligible. Bruce, Brown and Adkins were more open books and were good to listen to. But at the end of the day if you get results, who cares how they sound? As has been well discussed, the owner had a scattergun approach to transfers last season leaving us little room for manoeuvre atm. And there are obvious holes in the squad. It feels like there is still a disconnect between what rosy wants from players and the abilities of some of the players we have. But he equally has developed some players too. I’m not judging anything yet, this is his first full season with us and we still have time to bring players he thinks are suitable in.
Not entirely incorrect though, the championship hardly treats the concept of “learning on the job” well at all. 10 games and if we are still boring and toothless its time to look to another solution imo.
I can sort of see why we didn't take on Cox, probably wanted to be first choice, and he would probably warrant that seeing him play. As a club at the moment, we probably can't afford a strong second string, as wage demands would be too high, and if we have cover with Greaves/Fleming/Coyle at present we just have to accept that. On Tetteh, if we can get a good fee for him, and he frees up wages, which he was probably one of the high earners, and if we do get Connolly in one loan, then we are not in a bad position IMO.

Out of interest what would be your opinion if our record after 10 games was 3 wins 3 draws and 4 losses?
