Did anyone ask why the best no.10 in the league is not even on the bench? That’s great news if Grealish isn’t even on the bench.

I may be in a minority here but I thought he came across really well and answered the questions as honestly as he could. Were some people expecting him to be sitting with a pair of underpants on his head and pencils up his nose?

I have learned down the years on this message board there is a direct correlation between our league position versus expectation and the reaction to the utterances of the incumbent manager!

why the negativity? he spoke honestly what do the fans want? would you rather he came out and said we will thrash villa 6-0. he was also honest enough to admit we were "leggy" v ipswich but the main thing is we won.give the man some slack we were shipping goals at the start of the season he has stopped that and now results are improving. I read on here that we only get good results v teams at the bottom that does my head in utter bullshit.we beat the leaders[Norwich]away,drew with mboro,and beat derby yes we lost to leeds on the opening day but its no surprise a few faces in that team were soon fucked off. I think we are in a decent position to finish the season strongly and be in the top 6 who knows even top two lets have some positivity. Wasting your time mate. They had their minds made up about Rowett before a ball was kicked and they aren't man enough to start admitting they just might be wrong about him after all. It will be funny on here if we keep this unbeaten run going for another few games, watching them all start back tracking.

VincentV I’ve never been convinced by Rowett as a manager and what I’ve seen heretofore just copperfastens that opinion. He’s doing ok but not we’ll enough considering the resources available to him. If he gets us into the playoffs I’ll hold my hand up and say I got it wrong. What I really don’t like is his man management coupled with blaming naming and shaming, if we win the league he’s still a dick 🤣

There's no point asking him anything, he answers everything like a politician. Quite the opposite actually, he's pretty open with his replies, doesn't mean we have to agree with them though

I’d argue that some managers in the past have used these press conferences to influence referees and their preconceptions as to how teams will behave and consequently how referees will officiate the game. Comments such as some teams “appreciating the beauty of the grass” and words to the effect that the referee ought to be careful of some teams physical approach etc. Whilst I do agree that they are largely clichéd and full of diversionary smoke, they do carry some weight and do give an indication as to the managers true feelings towards issues/players, as we’ve seen in this one by Gruesomes responses to some questions. My feeling is that the manager could be making better use of the time than sitting there for 30 mins answering banal questions. Utter over-hyped drivel it is. One of the reasons why Waddo was a class act was because you no more than a sentence from him each week in the Press. the great waddo would have got dogs abuse on here that is a sad fact.

I'll say one thing for Rowett- he's managed to 'out-dour' Joe Jordan which is an achievement in itself.
He makes Jovial Joe look like Vic Reeves.

Let me see if I've got this right. Rowett's press conferences are not like listening to a stand up comedian and, having inherited an unbalanced, unfit, unmotivated squad has not, within less than half a season, got us playing like Man City, scoring four goals a game, and leading the league by several points. So people have decided to attack his personal appearance. It would be pathetic if it wasn't really rather unpleasant.

It’s the games we should have played better in that are the problem and to be fair we have been extremely lucky. Oh and the shit subs and tactics that have cost us points.

The same happened with Lambert, once people decided they didn't like him they started commenting on the way he spoke even though it was perfectly good english, atm there isn't a lot to have a go at Rowett for given the current run so this is how they do it.

I didn't like Pulis and still don't he started off a bit ropey but came good .

Bit like watching the Bill Bellichick post match interview after the miracle in Miami at the weekend. Go Dolphins. The bit from 1.14 to around 1.40 is brilliant. Sounds like the journos were too scared to ask him a question lol.

"Presser"
I don't know under what rock I'd been living, but The first time I heard the word was on here in a thread entitied LAMBOS FOGGY PRESSER
I honestly didn't have a fucking clue what any of those those three words meant
Took me about half an hour to work out who Lambo was. Gazzer aside, I guess Gazzer has avoided the over Stoke-ification of his name (see "Tunny" in particular for a great example), but there's still time this season for ROZZERS LAST PRESSER
Fuck me, it can't come too soon -watching his massive head bobbing up and down on his tiny shoulders, I feel like Mowgli being hypnotised by that evil bastard snake in the Jungle book
