Fletcher Allen McLean I really don't know how Wigan will cope with our pace and movement. Set their alarm clock for about quarter past eight, so they are awake as we move in on goal

What a crock of shit is rowett ruining us on purpose complete dogshit. It like a group of Stoke lads must've gang-raped his entire family at some point. He's been dreaming of revenge ever since... What

I'm assuming that Fletcher is playing because he's the only midfielder we have who is willing to play as a defensive shield.
I don't think that it's a huge leap to say that the manager is also trying to make this point to the board in an expressive fashion tonight.

I thought Pulis was bad but this guy takes it to another level.

its one thing been beaten playing your best XI Its another been beaten with a joke up front and a pensioner in midfield, and your most creative player not on the pitch. Wow. Rod for own back potential here, Gary.

This is going to be one of those games where we play shit and manage a win because Wigan will be even more shit. Rowett then plays the exact same team until we play someone half decent and get trounced.

If we donβt get a result tonight 100% the managers fault.
He has to hope we do.
Playing fletcher is insanity.

I really canβt see what he sees in Edwards and how he gets in in front of Bauer. Allen I thought was better on Sat but donβt start me on Fletcher or McLean. I donβt think we have much option with McClean as thereβs no like for like alternative but Etebo has to be a better option than Fletcher. Iβm increasingly getting the feeling itβs political and I think heβs looking to offload Bauer and playing Fletcher to push the Woods deal through. Another draw I think. Bauer was awful last time he played, proved he cant defend. Political??? ridiculous. He's 10 times the player Edwards. Etebo is 10 times the player Fletcher is also.

These three pages have proven to be very entertaining reading .The fanbase less than a month into the season I would observe, is now as dysfunctional and demotivated as most folk actually working for the club now appear to be. And, still no sign of the rotten core at the root of our problems being called to account as yet. The only positive I can see presently is that we are still actively seeking to acquire players.

I don't think that it's a huge leap to say that the manager is also trying to make this point to the board in an expressive fashion tonight. But in doing so isn't he showing,from the players he's leaving out with 'injuries', that he has the player to make a decent and more dynamic team. His nose, face, cutting, spite, his, off to?

I was all for Rowett when he became manager but the longer things are going on and he persists with Fletcher, McClean etc and we continue to look to have no game plan I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that we have made another big mistake in signing him. The team needs to start winning and improve rapidly, starting tonight. How long before the crowd start to turn ? Lessons learned ? I think not ! Rowett seems quite bright I just cant believe he cant see how bad McClean, Fletcher and Edwards are. I think he's trying to prove a point in relation to the lack of quality in the squad.

Something has gone very very wrong with our club.
Yes I do state the obvious with such insight and aplomb.

I hope he's trying to prove a point Cobs, if however he genuinely thinks this is the best team then we really have got a big problem with him.

Butland gives the ball to Williams, Williams plays it to Shawcross who will hoof the ball towards Afobe. We dont need creative midfielders because they will see nothing of the ball,and again im afraid todays midfield will be outpaced/outplayed. I think Rowett picked this team after a phone call to Mr.Pulis!

I give up. How is he any better than Geoff or Etebo in there? Tired of not having someone who can defend but rather someone so infallibly non-defensive in CDM. Jesus, I'd rather Adam at this point. Fucking Rowett.

Seriously, in what fucking world does McClean get in a team ahead of Bojan. In a world where he plays in a completely different position to him.
