The only difference to what's happening day in day out at clubs across the country is the fact Acun has done it in public. Yea it was poor and as you say has got some asking more questions. But people are making it out to be something it isn't. Owers question stuff re players and performance etc constantly....just not normally in public.

That's a reasonably big difference.

Well I'm just unsure what people are making it out to be that you, yourself, are not.

Well from what I can see, people are saying acun was trying to force or influence who was picked or putting pressure on LR to play certain players....
All I'm saying is what he actually did was no difference to what happens at most clubs, but acun just did it in public which I think was wrong

Well apart from buying a keeper that Rosenior had not wanted. As Acun said, Pandur was previously playing every week and it sounded like all involved expected the same to happen here.

I'm not sure Liam would have turned down a new keeper who was supposed to be better than Allsop and Ingram. I think the bone of contention was that Liam decided those 2 were better options at the current time without actually trying him in then first team - Especially when Allsops form dipped and he was shipping a few soft ones..
 
Rosenior didnt want to change any starting line up from about 6/7 games out, that includes Coyle at RB or Matty J at LB, working on the adage of 'if aint broke' perhaps. Allsop was never going to get dropped as he was essential to his plan.

I think he wanted a settled side for partnerships to develop, which is a fair enough reason, but if you've got a lot of investment sat on the bench and you go backwards in terms of form then any board will be querying that.

Ahead of the fan event the other night, we all understood Acuns reasoning behind letting Rosie go, he'd brought in more attacking players in the hope that we'd play more attacking football and he didn't feel that happened. Explanation given, some agreed, some disagreed, but at least everyone understood his position and that should have been the end of it.

Then he turns up at a fan event and says that Allsop should have been dropped for Pandur, that Ohio should have played more, that Connolly was a little fat ****. All of it completely unnecessary and all of it now leading fans to question how much pressure was being put on the manager to pick certain players.

It served absolutely no purpose, it just led to more people questioning what actually went on, if was very poor management of the situation.

And the usual suspects liked your post.
And the ones who don't agree with you didn't.

22% of the clown poll have spoken.

Think Huddlestone said a few weeks that silva was the best coach he’d worked with

"I think one that really clicked my coaching ideas into a process was Marco Silva. I only had him for five or six months at Hull but I thought about the detail he went into around the training pitch, the analysis videos before and after every training session and definitely the matches. Maybe that coincided with my age at the time but I thought he sparked an excitement from a coach’s standpoint in me.”

Acun said that Rosenior turned down a loan keeper as he felt it was a waste of a spot. Allsop was absolutely his man.

I said on the Bruce interview thread... he could have been the best manager we ever had... Dumb **** supposedly ignored his application at the start of the season we were relegated, maybe true maybe not...

Oh I agree there, but dropping Pandur from the squad completely and bringing Ingram back had me raising eyebrows at the time. Can see why it would be a bone of contention.

It will be interesting to see Pandur in a competitive game, only glimpses I got were in the warm ups before the games, where I thought he looked more mobile in the goal and caught shots cleanly, where Allsop dropped or parried them.

Only a warm up though - as we know they can be crucial ;)

Yeah I remember Ehab saying they’d overlooked him application the first time round
