It's not like Twine has ripped it up at Bristol City either and there's a reason he went there too. His numbers for us where actually pretty solid though.
You really do live in your own reality. Well, that's not fair, there's a few that seem to inhabit it with you.
How? Rosie would have still had the same turnover of players. There’s no way of knowing if we’d have been in a better position now with Rosie. We could argue Tom would have got Rosie’s team in the playoffs. Trying to compare 2 managers with 2 different teams is impossible
Right back at ya fella! Except you are pretty much on your own actually . And really good insightful argumentation back. Although I really aren't going to spend today going over old ground that we've been over a hundred times before, so let's not bother.
4pm today with the "Ligue 1 pass", whatever that is, for anyone interested. Personally I'll be watching paint dry.
Ten games is almost a quarter of a season and if it isn’t working at that point it’s statistically unlikely that a team will close the gap on the top six. I quite like Tim Walter, and I’d like to see him given time, but I think Acun will fire him before we get that far into the season.
I'm constantly amazed that that French team only seems to get brought up by the very people who moan about Rosenior being brought up.
Anything’s possible. End of October is usually when the league starts taking shape. Certain clubs will look at the table and start grinning like Cheshire Cats as they remember the Championship is not as ruthless as the Premier league whilst others start having second thoughts about the play offs and the Conversations and arguments suddenly start turning toward how the **** they are going to hit 50 points on current form. Hold on tight.
I'm not really sure what your point is. Only people posting about Strasbourg are you and teeth. If saying that is "catching" me, well done?
You supposedly support City, not Rosenior. Imagine the impossible for a moment. Rather than been sacked, LR had instead been offered the Brighton gig. Do you think for one moment he’d still be here? Would you still be pining for him like a lovestruck teenager in that scenario? Would you still be blaming Acun for Walter?
Wanting Rosenior gone because you didn’t like his style is fine, but from a results perspective and football side, it was a terrible decision. I really want Walter to succeed but unfortunately due to the board again, we’ve signed 16 new players over a window with 13 of them coming in August I believe. His style clearly needs time but you don’t get that in football, particularly when the style doesn’t give us the platform to win games scrappy. We haven’t been as bad as people are making out but when you lack such a level of clinical finishing, due to the style we are always going to give up high quality chances and as we’ve seen over the last 2 games better teams will capitalise. I do however think that we’ve seen arguably the best attack in the division from a punishing standpoint. Hamer is the best player in the division and Leeds attack is very good. Onwards and upwards with some more favourable games coming up, but we can’t make the excuses for so long
I think Walter gets to the next international break at least. If we haven't won a couple by then he is on thin ice. Then it's a case of how long do you keep going if something is clearly not working? If we are still languishing at Christmas, then it becomes a salvage job (as per when Adkins and Rosenior came in) and not a realistic top 6 challenge
I think when Adkins was here we were 24th after about 10 games. He took us on a run that got us around 8th by January. Enob was not willing to back him with 2 or 3 players that might have got us into the playoffs that year
Yep! I've just been looking back on that season as it's next in our podcast series, but I guess the difference then was we had a settled squad and just got off to a rough start. Not sure if that makes it better or worse? Adkins was a known quantity though, you could trust he would turn it around.
I can’t believe there are people queuing up on here to wonder whether we will be in the top six this season. Of course we ****ing well won’t!! That chance went when the new manager was chosen, and when the decision was made to enact a major squad transformation during the full span of the transfer window. We are in for a season of mid table obscurity at best, unless something remarkable happens. This must be the hardest league in the world to make such a big transition, it’s so full-on. Let’s keep it something akin to real, eh?
