Title: Post game interview
Post by: Canadian Rover on March 25, 2023, 05:04:45 pm
Didn't get off to the best of starts with the goalkeeper making a mistake which happens in football. After that we took control of the game and we're unlucky not to go in level at half time. 2nd half was much of the same of which johnny made a mistake but you can't question his character or commitment and he'll come through this. You know it's a process and barring for a few injuries as of late there are some really positive signs with Ravs showing his qualities. I can understand a few of the boos but overall the support understands this is a process and the fundamentals are there for all to see.

The interview hasn't actually happened yet but there you go.

Take them 2 mistakes out and we gave them a good game.

Gave them a good game? We had a promising 5 minute spell before they scored their second.

It was better performance wise, but for how long he's been here now his team create next to nothing, & entertainment wise it's woeful,  he is not taking us forward whatsoever.

Fundamentals blah blah blah.

The tactical setup is terrible and he doesn't seem to want to change it.

In his recent interview did he say we have 9 games & 18 points to play for? Also intimated the injuries have spoiled recent performances, really.

Tom Biltcliffe has just interviewed Schofield on Radio Sheffield. “That’s football” was his headline message at the top of the interview.

Yeah, I heard that. He’s about on par as a mathematician as he is a tactician.

Northampton never got out of 2nd gear today.
They didn’t need to.
Should have won 4-0 they missed 2 sitters.

How much longer is it going to be before we get rid of this absolute clown.
He is the most stupid, short sighted, arrogant person we have ever had at this football club. Yes he is on par with Weaver.

For the sake of just common decency please resign DS
If you haven’t resigned by 6-30 this evening then for all our sakes and for the self preservation of this football club, Copps have the balls to hold your hands up and admit you got it wrong.
We will all respect you for that.
If you allow this sh.t show to continue you are going to end up vilified
You will go from club hero & legend to club villain.

Come on Copps the time is now. Not November when it’s too late to salvage next season or even possibly keep us in the EFL.

It’s not DS, what is it that people can’t see - this team, no not team, group of misfits - none of which are his, are the worst bunch I have seen since we got relegated from the league.

The faults do lie with piss poor recruitment by previous managers, and being over reliant on loans. We just never had an adequate budget during this time to sort the mess out. There is a lot to blame for this COVID, self sufficiency, low crowds …

He has plans to get rid of most of them, I have heard 10-11, but who wants them? Clubs don’t even want to take them on loan! He cannot force them out, and they know they have a cushy number.

brown, lavery, t miller, lakin, nelson, westbrooke are all his players. And he’s given new contracts to Anderson, hurst and Olowu. So I’d say there’s plenty of his players. Give your head a wobble.
And if the rest can’t play his style of football then don’t f**king play it then!!!!!!
He’s a arse of the highest order that needs to go asap.
He could sign Haarland and Kane but they’d never see the ball to score any goals under this utterly atrocious game plan.

Anyone used that Chat GBT? I might sign up and ask it to write a Danny Schofield post match interview. Mind you so we need that much computing power to come up with his drivel

ye I’ve just listened to that. Thought it was excellent when he blew him out the water regarding to injuries. There was some very good questions amongst that and he pressed him very well. Some very alarming answers coming back however.

Pressure does that doesn't it?

He's still a human being and he's still trying his best and he's clearly feeling it right now how couldn't he be?  But he doesn't want this to be a failure, none of us do.

Actually, with his qualifications, I think he'll probably have an excellent career coaching an academy or development side at a Premier League or Championship club.

He's just not cut out for EFL management.

Just listened to the RS interview. Good to hear an interviewer taking the right tone with him.

He keeps saying we’ve had good performances. It’s as if only the last few games are poor. It’s either lying or genuine delusion. I get games might not be entertaining but as a coach you see other things but I don’t see that with us. He needs to maybe watch the game from the stands to get a better view.

Just not up to the job.
Even though I live in Notts a bloke  in my local is Huddersfield supporter, he said DS was a poor appointment.
Conversely my Brother in Law, Rovers fan now living in Northumberland , was told by a  Newcastle scout that DS was not the man for Rovers.
How right they were

His little dig at Tom backfired when he came back with Northampton's injuries, did he have those injuries in some other totally abject displays. Always on the defensive now, the blokes out of his depth.

He can learn and change a little bit. I really want him to succeed.

2 horrendous howlers again, like Salford, and apart from that we get a draw. Yes we’re poor but they weren’t great.

OK play 3 CBs but no need to have Tommy there now, or left wing back. Try all the defenders in their positions. Long did OK today. Faulkner needs to start. Maybe Molly could even be a left wing back if he could be arsed. I wouldn’t pick him as a forward.

Todd Miller had a decent game. I find him fascinating to watch. Is he totally useless, someone masquerading as a football player? Or has he got something?

In January you’re massively restricted,
The budget has been mainly spent by someone else with players you probably don’t fancy.
Other clubs won’t want their better players to leave,

If we’re never going to give a manager the chance to sign the players he wants to build his own squad to implement the style he wants to play then we’re never going to get out of this cycle.

A lot of schofields signings have been just to plug temporary gaps as we’re so short,

oh please. Don’t try and start defending the indefensible again. It’s laughable.
Win, lose or draw the football is disgustingly poor and he needs to be gone. ASAP. He’s potentially irreparably damaging the club now. It’s beyond a joke.

Not defending anything, but to argue he’s signed the players he wants just because of what happened in jan is nonsense
