Match Day Thread Hull City v Derby

It’s more making the point that it was clearly the wrong decision by Acun.

I mean yes Rosenior might not have been successful this year for us but it couldn’t have gone much worse could it?

 

yep

i can see portmouth scoring 3 or 4 after a close tight first 40 minutes
and we crumble

 

Let’s not forget some of Rosie’s games were the most boring games ever, he even played games we needed to win with no striker. Let’s not pretend he was the second coming

 

But he would have been better than this season has been.

It’s not even about Rosenior really - it’s about Acun making a naive decision that’s cost us badly this year

 

I'm guessing that Eustace said at half time 'look lads, we might get one good chance!'

 

Last game of last season we headed to the south coast knowing a win could get us a playoff place. This season we head to the south coast for the last game of the season knowing a win will keep us in the Championship.

Rosenier or Walter/Selles?

Question answers itself for me.

 

Bradford away Olez Olez...

 

Bradford
Doncaster
Huddersfield
Barnsley

Away days are back on the menu

 

Don't mind a trip there, or Barnsley, Rotherham etc. **** Huddersfield and the codheads though

 

it was for the Derby fans...

 

Was the architect of this mess, Mr. Acun, at the game, or did he opt for the Fenerbahçe game again?

 

he was there

 

It showed signs of improving initially but has gone backwards for weeks now. Selles hasn't done a half decent job, he's managed to take what we have got backwards rather than improving. We're lacking quality but it's more about his tactics, his coaching, his use of subs, etc. It's utterly baffling to me.

 

He was at the game looking as nervous as everyone else

 

Lincoln too

 

I've said the following since this season started and stand by it...

The biggest issue out of a long list of problems we've had this season was how we handled our summer activity. We gutted the squad and brought in largely just youth and potential and far too late too. ANYONE would have struggled to manage this team. There's some quality in there but they play like strangers.

 

In fact it's a bit "championship lite" really isn't it. Bolton, Peterborough, Charlton, Wigan, Blackpool, Reading. Wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the bleak financial outlook.

 

Vertical football? Not heard other managers adopting that "philosophy". Can't for the life of me think why that's the case. Are they missing a trick?

 

Grasping at straws but our only hope is to get a clean sheet at Portsmouth and hope others lose, will have to be a clean sheet as I can’t see us scoring a goal

 

I don’t fully disagree but I don’t think that transfer windows happens if we had kept the same manager (regardless of whether it was Rosenior or not)

Sacking a known coach for an unknown one in this country means you go down the list for Premier League loans slightly - existing players are more likely to leave and players interested in signing for you are more cautious as you are more of an unknown quantity.

Im not claiming Rosenior had this magical pull but I am saying that clubs with continuity stand a better chance of building a decent squad. We gambled and lost.
