We were shocking under shota, it just felt random. We won games because of the players individual performances, not from his tactics. We were a defensive shambles.
I personally think Rosenior speaks well, and he empirically sorted our defensive chaos from under shota’s tenure. I don’t see rosenior as up himself whatsoever, he just believes in himself (obviously we need that belief to translate into consistent results and improved cutting edge). We’ve had much more annoying managers on interviews in the past, Pearson and McCann were prickly as hell, shota unintelligible. Bruce, Brown and Adkins were more open books and were good to listen to. But at the end of the day if you get results, who cares how they sound?
As has been well discussed, the owner had a scattergun approach to transfers last season leaving us little room for manoeuvre atm. And there are obvious holes in the squad. It feels like there is still a disconnect between what rosy wants from players and the abilities of some of the players we have. But he equally has developed some players too. I’m not judging anything yet, this is his first full season with us and we still have time to bring players he thinks are suitable in.
