This is deliberately very harsh as always. What progress is there? Well league position is the obvious one. Still plagued with injuries? No. We've just had our worst spell of injuries and it peaked at about five players. Last season we had literally 10-15 players out for basically every game in the first half of the season. This season we are streets ahead physically, we finish most games well and I think it's generally well accepted that we very fit. Rosenior said he would trim the squad right down and sort out the injuries so so that it isn't an issue, and he's delivered. It's been a big success on that front and he deserves credit for it, but I'm not holding my breath. Lack of options up top? He has the squad he wanted, and we've not been short of options for forward positions. In almost every game since the window shut we've had quality attacking players on the bench. Not all traditional centre forwards, but that's how he wants to play; with attacking players who are versatile and can lead the line without necessarily being an old-fashioned striker. Like Traore and Twine did yesterday. This again has been a success if we're talking about available options. Listing all these crises when half of them are made up makes it clear that you're trying to maximise and exaggerate the reasons to be unhappy. Clearly, we're not perfect and there are things to work on, but nowhere near as many as you're making out.
Erm he had a 58.33% win rate at Derby. Our mate Bruce (who I loved) only had 40% with us and 37% overall. Even Sir ****ing Alex beat him by a slight margin at ManU with 59.7% I'd take a 58% win rate this season please.
I guess TWT, I personally feel he needs time to develop, and we are in a position most of us would have taken after 11 games. There is never any guarantee with managers, often clubs chop and change and get nowhere, look at Stoke, have had numerous managers of experience, and are worse than we are. Of course, we all want instant success, but often the right decision is to stick with the coach who is doing ok and support him.
I agree that Rosenior has been a big factor to date in everyone 'rowing in the same direction' etc. I thought some were commenting on here that they knew of Derby fans warning us about Rosenior as a coach / manager? Only time will tell if he develops and adapts in reasonable time. Personally I see the same shortcomings and concerns week after week, not just this season, and not least his apparent (to me) inability to develop our attacking game. TWT. I hope you are right.
Didn't we just score two goals playing quick direct balls over Millwalls defence, something people have been calling for?
Fair point, though attendances are on the up, yes, you do get critics wanting to lump the ball up the field, but are they a big amount? Personally, I am enjoying watch us play, I have watch City since 1957, and have seen some ****e in that time, but the football we are playing at present for me is much more enjoyable than the 3rd division boot as it was known,
He wasn't selected as permanent manager because they wanted someone experienced. Which has worked out brilliantly for them. He then quit the club.
Nope Liam Rosenior has been relieved of his duties as interim manager at Derby County, with the League One club keen on appointing Rotherham’s Paul Warne as his replacement. Derby’s owners have been evaluating Rosenior’s position since taking the club out of administration in July and have made an approach for Warne.
They really aren't harsh or made up at all. You may not agree with them and that's your right. But just because you don't it doesn't then make them harsh or made up. I noticed you made no comment on the still not scoring enough, home form still not good enough, us drawing to many still and square pegs in round holes.... Any particular reason for that? Or are you just ignoring those because they are facts? And who said they where a crises? I certainly didn't, I just said they are all points that haven't seen real improvements under LR
