At the moment we're relying on a 20 year old striker in his first proper experience in the Championship, a 23 year old injury prone forward who has had attitude issues and been in and out of sides wherever's he's gone, a Turkish international who seems to struggle with his attitude/focus, and Jaden Philogene.
Philogene has been flying and shown that if we have the talented players in the right positions, we get the goals. To me it suggests it's more an issue with the personnel than anything particularly wrong with LR. We'd scored in 8 games in a row or something like that before our blank against QPR.
It shows that Philogene is quality at this level and that we are in danger of becoming reliant on his moments of brilliance to bail us out of our attacking deficiencies.
As to the bolded bits. Ok, except that:
- he loves all of them
- he "like(s) this team and wouldn't change anyone"
- he gets to pick who plays, and as importantly, where
- he sets the tactics, including our attacking plays
- he & his coaches coach them week in week out, including our attacking plays and finishing (....allegedly)
- he was desperate to bring back Connolly, and had a big say in who we ended up with and also who left
But no, let's not suggest anything particularly wrong with LR!!
He's inexperienced and it shows. He's learning on the job. Others keep saying 'they did a job on us', and that's correct. We're predictable which allows others to suss us out. Good managers get the best out of what they've got available at any one time. He's been very well supported by Acun. But Rosenior chooses to stick to the process no matter what. That's inexperience and conceitedness that you think you have a magic formula. Hopefully his learning curve is steep and rapid, but I unfortunately still don't see it.
) spotted him half way through the first half then for the rest of the half couldn't stop turning round to have a look. He got his autograph at half time then spent most of the second half looking at the autograph, looking round to see if he was still there and occasionally watching the game! He was probably the only Hull fan who went home happy!
