You can scream “Rowett Out!!” All you like, the simple fact of the matter is, he’s going absolutely nowhere. It’s depressing but unfortunately it’s the way our clubs been run for the last 2-3 years. Lots of talk and no action (until it’s too late) and I fear it will be the case again. The only saving grace is that Coates said top six was the minimum we should be aiming for, we’re nowhere near that and never will be with this clown in charge. Here’s hoping Coates sees this, but sadly I doubt it. Also I don’t think there’ll be any money to spend in January either (which is probably good if we stick with the Clueless One) I can see us spending the next decade in this division unfortunately.

Speaking of Jon, I didn't realise he was out for the season. At 35 that must be the beginning of the end for him now? Nah, we’ll sign him on a 12 month deal next season!

Saido is looking good this season and he's getting better with every game, play him right up alongside Afobe with someone creative behind them and I think we could score for fun in this league. Shame the manager doesn’t see this. His stubbornness playing one up top is costing us goals and points. Can’t believe we’re still playing square pegs in rounds holes. Berahino on the wing, Bruno at left back. We should have proper cover for these positions. No excuses.

Dunno worry, Coates will give him until January when we’re in the bottom half then say we’re sticking with him as this was always going to be a season of reorganization 🙄

On paper we should beat Hull but I noticed they won on Tues away at Rotherham. I’d love to know what the board are thinking right now. I’d make the Huddersfield match free for season ticket holders and a £10/£5 kids for non holders they need to try to keep fans on board. If we draw or lose to Hull and lose to Huddersfield I think we are in serious trouble and they will have to take a serious look at the situation regarding Rowett Nah Huddersfield will be £15 Adults and £5 children 14,000 max

Being a diabetic myself for 27 years I’ve learned to take dextrose tablets with me to the match just in case my blood sugar goes low. I’ve had to use them once or twice. Any chance of you slipping the odd one or two in the players half time tea They’re no good if you’re already in a coma 😂

Not being unsympathetic but I thought the treatment for diabetics these days was a bit more scientific than a mad dash through the gates for a burger and large fries ! Count yourself lucky you didn't get pepper sprayed ! It depends mate I can be fine one minute and in a coma the next, I always carry insulin with me but this doesn't help when blood sugar levels are low.

Seems like the bust up was between butland and McLean with shawcross trying to break it up. McLean at fault or partially at fault for all 3 goals. All 3 crosses came from the full back he didn't track off the back of costing us the 2nd goal at preston. What a great, inspired and harmonious signing he's turning out to be. Not that we couldn't have all predicted what was coming. You can’t just blame McClean... he was left exposed by calamitous defending by Pieters....he should generally be forward of Pieters so if he screws up how can he be expected to cover? For their second Fletcher was strolling back and had two bites at stopping the run That really was pitiful from Fletcher.

Seriously crap last night needs to be dropped but so do 5/6 others That’s the problem though isn’t it. Aside from Berahino (can’t believe I’m saying that) and maybe Ince they were all shocking last night including the whole back four. Somehow Rowett has to have the balls to pick a starting eleven and stick to it and make it work. I mean for god sake we even had Adam on the bench last night and what’s he done to warrant a place over say Sorensen. Seems like he’s clutching at straws just four games in.

All I’m going to say is people need to stop having a go at GR’s ‘style of football’. Because I think his plan A style is excellent! Look back to the first 25 minutes yesterday, the passing was crisp, the attacks were quick, we got the ball on the floor, we got down the wing and got crosses is, we looked threatening. That’s Rowetts style of football. It’s not his fault his left back cannot defend and once we go a goal behind the whole teams heads drop. Admittedly he doesn’t have a plan B but if our players had the right mentality, we wouldn’t need I use the classic ‘long ball up to crouch’ That’s 25 minutes out of a collective 360 that we’ve attempted to play some football. That’s nowhere near good enough and whilst we have all the behind the scenes shenanigans with Coates, Scholes and Cartwright, when the players step on the pitch it’s down to the manager to get the best out of them. At the moment he clearly isn’t and looks out of his depth.

My team for Sat Butland Bauer - Souttar - Cameron - Martina Etebo - Sorensen - Imbula Ince - Afobe - Choupo If some of these players are still under contract then they can get out there and earn their wages as far as i'm concerned. We are struggling to compete and you want to bring people in who don't want to play for the club ? Bojan and diouf have to be a better bet than imbula and choupo To be fair the whole lot of them want fetching into training this morning and read the riot act by the club and told until you’re moved on you will give everything for the club that pays you handsomely. You useless bunch of tossers. (Won’t happen I know but it should)

So he’s refusing to play but taking the money from his contract. Absolute nonsense. Yes pretty much, told us not playing we are trying to sell he has said no to all offers, basically sitting on his contract. Imbula likely to do exactly the same. So are you saying if Rowett picks him to play he’ll say no?

When you see players like this going to our rivals, it infuriates me that we spent the whole Summer chasing McClean. There were so many better players out there than him. Clearly not according to our manager.

He will have got told to sit down in the dig out and not move following the yellow card or it’d be a red. That’s why Callum Davidson was in the technical area. From the Q’Railing you could see he’d got the red mist, hopefully he’s passed on his anger to the players and sacked off a few. Any idea what happened when they got the penalty? (Think that’s when it was, although not 100% sure as I had the red mist by then!) Rowett was having a right go at one of Wigan’s staff and it looked like their manager told his bloke to sit in the dugout and then he ended up apologizing to Rowett over whatever was said.

He really isn’t the answer. It is straw clutching in the extreme to imagine he is. That said at the current moment he is no worse an option than any other so if he thinks it will buy him a bit of time with some supporters Rowett will probably go with him on Sat. As long as it’s not on the left bloody wing!

As usual, Ted, a very perceptive analysis as to what is wrong with our club at the moment. Or for the shortened version: We’re a complete shower of shit from top to bottom.

Post by philb on Aug 23, 2018 8:04:39 GMT
Playing Bojan on the left wing was the final straw for me last night. Rowett hasn’t got a clue what to do with the players at his disposal and although the players are a bunch of bottlers, he has to take a fair share of the blame for where we find ourselves at the moment. He hasn’t got clue of who or how he wants to play at the moment, and that’s really worrying.

Post by philb on Aug 23, 2018 7:59:35 GMT
Why? So we can fling more mud at a bloke who has managed 4 games with absolute wasters at his disposal? Last night was the tipping point for me, but not against Rowett. SACK THE BOARD! Doesn’t excuse his team selections and bizarre and awful substitutions last night does it? Starts with Fletcher and Allen (both awful at the moment) No Bauer. (Is he injured? Not so sure myself) Adam on the bench. No N’Diaye. Takes Ince off. Puts Bojan on the left wing. Takes Berahino off. Leaves Edwards on the pitch when he was clearly struggling (though you could say that about every one of our defenders to be fair) when we’ve just signed a supposed half decent Premier League right back. I could go on, but he has to take a fair share of the blame at the moment. He doesn’t seem to have a clue who or how he wants to play.

I imagine we’ll hear from Coates Snr at some point and he’ll probably say “there’s only four games gone, what’s all the fuss about?”

Post by philb on Aug 23, 2018 7:37:07 GMT
There’s a lot of work to do??? Half of this should have been done in pre-season ffs. Rowett is as much to blame as the bottle job players we’ve got. He said before the start of the season what a great bunch of lads he’d got and everyone was knuckling down in training, buying into what he wanted and they were a harmonious group! Jesus wept, we’re a complete and utter shambles under him! I hate to say it and I know it’s only four games in but I’d rather have kept Lambert at this rate. At least he could organize a defence ffs😡

What was the last game you saw us win where we dominated and looked comfortable/convincing for the whole duration? Liverpool at Home 6-1 final day of the 2014-15 season 😳 Still got that game on my Sky planner. Might watch it again for nostalgia.
