Not sure what to say really. Not as utterly crap as first half last week. There must be some more positives than that somewhere but I'm struggling. The phrase ringing in my head as we left was: why the **** are we still so shite? It's not all about demotivated players or new ones finding their feet, or cursing the club by changing the Brit's name, or PC's lack of decision-making last year: two games into the new regime, ok that's not a great sample scientifically but all I'm seeing is some remarkably average management.

He’s picking the players majority of the fans would go with. Bojan needed to come off as was tiring. We have no options in squad yet to alternate Pieters and McClean. Obviously realised midfield didn’t work last week and tried to mix that up with starting fletcher and Bojan but we are still not right in midfield. Was very honest in interview after match. Still lots of work to do to put right the clusterfuck he’s walked in to. So would say he’s doing Ok but vast improvements still needed.
Rating 6 *

Copy and paste from last Sunday.
Small glimmers of hope lost in a myriad of tedium.
Tricky times ahead.

Negative sub, little sign of his famed organisational prowess.
Points for starting Bojan and changing the formation.
A generous 5.

Spoke all week about the players being ready and they start like that.
Starting line up was decent.
Dreadful substitution but had little impact on the equaliser I think. Affected us going forwards after that as we needed to come back into the game.
Defence looks shaky and we are creating nothing going forwards.
Poor.

I wouldn't have taken Bojan off, holds it up in a different way, takes that many touches others come into play. Not sure why Afobe can't hold it up.

6, did the right thing changing the line up but Etebo was the wrong sub, could have been a bit more attacking and bring Ince inside, Crouch totally knackered us, I really wish he had gone, it makes it to easy to just say lump it for 10 mins rather than actually trying to create something.

God knows what they do in training, but this squad look like they have never played football, never mind together.
Rowett is desperately trying players in midfield praying something will click.
All starts at the back for me and today I heard a commentator saying Butland needs to command his defenders better. OK give him the Captains armband and put Shawcross on the bench. He's been a Captain before so let's see what he has.
I don't care if you have Bale and Messi lined up for a season long loan without a solid defence we will win f**k all.
Today we were rabitts in the headlights AGAIN. Bojan may well have been tired but just wow what a shit substitution.
3 from me.

A worrying 4 from me.
I have no problem with us playing a long ball game if it's effective. What we've seen so far from Rowett is far from effective. We look a disorganized mess all over the park, with no apparent game plan. We look sluggish, physically weak and lacking any real desire to go and win a game. Fucking dreadful all over the pitch.
Some positives:
Bojan is looking lively (when we can get the ball to him), but then Rowett take him off - strange decision.
Ince looks like he could be a player, but again - very little service to him or movement around him.
Afobe has 2 goals in 2 games, albeit a penalty last week and a very fortunate tap in today. All you can ask is for your striker to put them away, and he's done that.
We're unbeaten at home.
Lots of work to do, but what we've seen so far is concerning. If Rowett is going to use prehistoric tactics, he at least needs to have a team that's organized and well drilled - right now, we're not even close to that.

4* for starting Bojan -4 for subbing Bojan = 0 He needed to come off, he isn't fit enough to last 90mins Didn’t he have a full pre-season? Why can’t he last more than 65mins? I just don’t get it 😕 |

How the hell can you give him 4, 5 or even 6
Which were shocking all over the pitch. No cohesion, just a bunch of strangers half who looked like they didn’t careless

A generous 5* from me,
I just cant see what we are trying to do. I'd be less critical if it was merely execution of a system. I just can't see one at all yet and the players seemed as confused as me.
Let's hope it's just early doors. Villa, Boro, Swansea and of course Leeds don't seem to have the same problem in either execution or understanding with apparently less in their squads.

I’m astonished that the defence has got worse under his guidance.
The rest is pretty much as a I feared it might be.

3* Agree with StatesideStokie - not much more I can add apart from the rate of play being very poor once again. I'm sure rowett said he wanted a pressing game in preseason. Never going to happen in a million years. It feels very much like a lot of these players are still in preseason mode - especially at Leeds, so I hope we'll be good to go in 2 games time, but we shouldve been ready 3 games ago... EDIT: This was Brentford we were playing, not Everton or Leicester and they still massively outplayed us, It could've been 2 or 3-1. We should absolutely go for their #19 and #6. |

A point each for Ince (MOM), Bojan (MOM if remained on the pitch) and Afobe (a goalscorer!)
The rest of the outfield players,perhaps unfit Williams aside, were pretty dire - Allen & Pieters again absolutely dogshit awful

3* I could not work out his game plan. Brentford were pulling us apart in midfield and with width, quick triangles, one twos, basic stuff. Changed my mind, deduct a point for buying McLean because he is one pile of dross. 2*

A comedy of errors. Bojan was taken off because he was tired, poor little thing. You surely don't expect SCFC stars to last the full 90, do you? I have also yet to see Mr Rowett's famed organizational skills and blaming the players at interviews is only going to cut the mustard for so long.
At our first home game last season we beat Arsenal. Yesterday was like a Norman Wisdom film, except Sir Norman was a consummate professional.

2 - looks out of his depth. Awful starting line up and didn't alter it even though it was obvious. What do they do in training. They looked like Barcelona in comparison.

Anybody that believes this team is heading for top 6 need to get out of the clouds, id be happy with avoiding relegation. Rowett didnt have a great day either good starting line up but the changes made the team worse so a 4 from me. We really need some young pacey players in on loan and start quickly to find a setup that works. Brentford came and watching them looked more like the ex premiership teqm than us, they were great on the ball and at times looked really dangerous, if it wasnt for Jack we’d have lost.. i don’t remember the Brentford keeper making a save.. for me we either back rowett in loan window now or we will be bottom half come Christmas
