It’s alright having a keeper who can pass out like that, but if the players in front of him aren’t capable of doing anything with the ball other than lose it or pass it back to the keeper, putting him under pressure, then it’s pointless getting a new keeper, as they already do that with Ingram, who then ends up having to make a great save, or he concedes & get’s criticism.

I take your point but the thing is the players are capable, most players are capable of simple pass and move. We saw Scunthorpe doing it well recently. The way the players are positioned and asked to play is creating the difficulty and hopefully this is rectified shortly.
 
Coventry looked good, on the end of the same result as us yet If I was a Coventry fan I would be really happy and excited about what I saw.

Yep. Again, I’m more concerned about the performance than the result.
 
Thought Coyle was our worst personally.
Coyle had a stinker first half, and epitomised our first half performance. What I do like about Coyle, when he is having a stinker, he hangs on in and so massively improved the second half. Some forget he is a defender and actually does ok as a defender. He’s not suited to passing from the back, but numerous times, he was getting pressed and had few options.

And they're in midfield where they should be playing those more risky passes. I don't understand how you can compare midfielders in the engine room to fullbacks/defenders who need to be much more clinical with their passing. It's why I never understood those who slated Seri for his turnovers.

As for him being our top rated player, it shows how warped those stats sites can get with how they weight particular stats. As pointed out above, the stats he should be measured first and foremost in he didn't outperform any of his peers.
You started quoting stats!
 
Thing is with Rosenior, he's only been a manager for 5 minutes, has achieved absolutely nothing so far, won nothing, not managed in the PL, yet talks like he has some magical philosophy, process, masterpiece (page 2 of 100), etc.
I get it that good managers need self confidence and belief in what they are doing, but he has earned no right whatsoever to go on like he does. Clough did but he was a one off and Rosenior will not be the next Clough. Fine being a good communicator and (sensibly) open with the fans but for me he needs to quiet down and let actions speak more than words (atm it's the opposite way round).
I might be wrong but I don't see or hear other managers, certainly not at this level, and including ones who have actually achieved something, talking like he does. For me it smacks of naivety and even arrogance, risks turning fans off the more he does it and the longer the big gap between how he talks Vs what we see remains.
I do want him to succeed but his talk is wearing thin. I fear he is too naive, too inflexible, too inexperienced, but hope to hell I'm wrong.

All he has to do is win games
If he doesn’t like you say he comes across as a bit deluded
Belief in ability is a good thing but keep it quiet
