It was 20 tops v Millwall, not 30.
It's not about the last month. Rosenior has been in charge since 3rd November 2022.
I don't expect 13 sets of Southampton first half. I'm not stupid. I do however expect to be able to at least recognise us as a brave, high energy, pressing, positive (etc) side most games if that's how the coach repeatedly says he's asking them to play. Instead we've repeatedly seen us prat around at the back (80% of passes in our own half) with very little of the traits Rosenior repeatedly mentions.
As said, hopefully Southampton proves to be something of a turning point.
Turning Point??
As you say Rosenoir has been here since November 2022. Look what he has achieved in that small amount of time! This is a process. He is a fantastic manager and you should count your blessings he's our manager.
This is what I wrote on this thread back in October and it's playing out as I expected.
Rosenoir is a young, inexperienced manager who will make mistakes, but hopefully learn from them. He has a young squad with a lot of new players who all seem to be on board with the methods and style of play. They’ve all made errors, and bad decisions too during games, but as they become more accustomed to the style and to each other these mistakes will reduce and we will start to turn defeats into draws and draws into wins.
We could quite easily have gained an extra 5 or 6 points so far which would have us in the top 3, although I realise it’s all about making the best of opportunities and converting your chances and we have to improve on that front and I’m sure we will. Rosenoir and his team will only get better, make better choices, and start to play the ball quicker and improve the tempo of games. This all comes with time, and patience is a virtue!
After 40 years of watching City I don’t recall such a young and exciting team. I’ve really enjoyed the season so far and it’s great to see them play with great confidence (even when some of the fans are groaning in the stands!)
*whispers* I detect we could quite possibly be on the cusp of something special – there I’ve said it!
There has not been any turning points!!!
