He got more points in his 28 games last season than 14 others. From where he took over that was encouraging. He needs to kick on this season no doubt. But we're 2 points off 6th and haven't been out of the top half all season, and yes somewhere about 10th this year would represent progress. Which is around where I think we'll end up. But for 2 95th minute concessions we would actually be 6th. It's a fine margin. I'm encouraged that we're still hard to beat and having played all the likely promotion candidates only really been out-competed by 1 of them. I also feel it takes more than 7 games to fully gel a forward line and start realising potential If he loses touch with the top 10 then I fear for him, but I'm not really seeing much suggestion of that so far.
Who said anything about it being the manager's attitude? He clearly thinks we can be a top 6 team and he might be right. Just trying to bring a bit of perspective when some calling for the manager to go when we've beaten Leicester, drawn against Leeds and lost to Soton in the last minute.
There’s a rumour that Potter was at the game yesterday, which I assume, is the reason the question was posed on here. I suspect it’s nonsense.
TBF I'd heard he was but hadn't seen it confirmed anywhere. If we could pull on his very tedious link to the area to get him here then great....but I think there's more chance of you and I agreeing on something
Hmmn, why not? Left Chelsea in April. Maybe he'd buy into Acun's longer term vision? And he can be persuasive. A now experienced manager who served a proper apprenticeship, not one who is doing his apprenticeship with us (yet talks like he's Mourinho). Night v day. Would be great if Rosenior succeeds with us but truth is it was a hopeful, naive appointment from Acun that can only have been based on his eloquence & passion talking about 'the game', something that doesn't win you actual games.
And in the highlight reel, the previous ‘highlight’ shows the same player in the exact same position, again totally unmarked. Someone on the pitch should have picked this up from the first and made sure it didn’t happen again.
He once worked in Ull He once worked in Uuuuuull Graham Potter He once worked in Ull *waves* *cheers from the North Stand*
Hope it doesn't happen because I want Rosenior to succeed. I also want Rosenior to get more out of what is a very good squad of players. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I personally wouldn't go that far, I think he'll make a career in coaching/management. I just think he's very much in the mold of Phil Parkinson (when he came to us) in that he's really inexperienced but thinks he can change the world with his, his way or the highway attitude. LR is still learning his trade, he's only got 54 games as a head coach/manager and it shows in the way he's doing things and talking imo. Im selfish, I want a quality experienced manger in charge of us who can tap into his wide range of experience, tactical knowledge, in game contacts and reputation to bring in the correct players etc. I just don't think we get any of that with LR. LR in 8/10yrs would be absolutely amazing for us I've no doubt and I would have loved to see any player that served us as well as LR did be a success for us. But I am almost certain we have just got him to early in his career and it'll spoil things for us and him, which is a huge shame.
Or when Connolly 'nicks' an 88th minute winner at 10 man Blackburn, or rescues a point in the 86th minute against Coventry.
