Thought he was pissed off with his player’s performance and attitude. Soft goals and lack of effort.

Went down in my estimation last night, never stopped at the officials, I think he rates himself much better than he is.

Very bitter - get back to non-league!

‘All four goals were soft’ - absolute garbage. Maybe Anderson’s, because their keeper should and could have done better, but it’s ’Marauding Maldini’ getting on the end of an excellent free kick by HA!

That interview with Cowley is a shocker. Attacking everyone except himself. The players should not have to take that rubbish.

And what he said about them controlling the game, being in the ascendency that second half when we scored...deluded.   All our goals were lucky and "soft", apparently.

Hey, Danny, you're 22nd after 45 games for a reason, and it's not all luck.

Mickey Walker should never be commenting on a Rovers game, he hates the club and only wants to talk about Sheffield Wednesday.

depends how you look at it,from his side yes and we would be saying the same,1st goal they shouldn’t of let moly come inside to get a shot in,2nd shouldn’t of let moly get to by line and 3rd keeper error,4th hurst did his man easily and could have even gone done for a pen.

before the 3rd went in they were ontop but like we know plenty of times in the past if you don’t score when on top it usually comes back to bite you

I didn't think he was as bad as he usually is last night, it's  a low bar granted, & he did refer to us as "us" once or twice, which surprised me.
That said, after comments on here, I switched to radio Essex commentary for the second half, best away comms I've heard on iffolow tbh.

How can he say we weren't trying to score goals.

We literally brought on Kyle Hurst and I thought that last 15-20 minutes was our most threatening period of the game.

What a plonker.

Exactly this.
The guy is deluded and that interview was a car-crash.

Rovers never stopped going forward looking for goals last night; the vast majority of teams would have hung back and wasted time at every opportunity.
If Cowley can't see that, or is not big enough to admit it, then he deserves to fail.
Title: Re: Danny Cowley
Post by: Mike_F on April 24, 2024, 10:55:26 am
He had clearly set his team up to sit deep and hit on the counter attack on the assumption that Rovers would play (as another bitter manager said this week) "gung-ho football."

When we played intelligent possession-based football to draw his team out and varied the pace, line and length of our forward balls it confounded his game plan so he's just trying to deflect from his own mistakes.

We scored 4 goals, just imagine if we try to score goals eh?

What does that say about his defenders when they concede 4 goals against a time not trying to score goals?

His biggest mistake was in ever leaving Lincoln clearly thinking that on the back of his success there he’d go on to be a top Premiership manager.

Do me a favour.

Let’s see where he lands next when Colchester sack him.

But he did say according to the local newspaper:
“They're a team that have the best two wide players in the league in Molyneux and Adelakun and I thought Ironside was a real handful.”

Thank you very much!

You'd think that managers would give us a bit of credit after 13 wins, doesn't seem to happen much. Though he did praise our wingers.

13 wins in the last 17 games well 16 games
I always count the Sutton game in this run because it was the 1st of the 18 that GM called on to be top of the league at the end of the sequence.
So not done 13 consecutive wins yet but we could do 14 if we win on Saturday and win the 3 play off games.
Play offs don’t go into the record books though which I find bizarre.

Spouting utter bo--cks, his team played well but were beaten by the better, more clinical side. If I were one of his players I'd be seriously p--sed with that tosh he's come out with.

I start counting from the sutton game too, Camps, that pen was the start of this.

It was.
But the significance is GM saying he wanted to win the league over the last 18 games. The 1st of those was Sutton United.
By heck did that target hit a nerve with the players or what. 13 wins 3 draws and just the one defeat away at Walsall.
Beat Gillingham and we win that 18 game mini league hands down. In fact if we lose we have already won it hands down.
I think we will get the result we all crave on Saturday. Yes i know Gillingham will be under no pressure and that can be dangerous but I just can’t see them matching our intensity and sheer will to win the match.

Don’t get this Mickey Walker hate thing. Yes his commentary is basic and a bit dated. But he is on Rovers side for sure. Often uses ‘we’ when talking Rovers and told us about his dad playing for the Rovers.
Think it’s first time I’ve heard him on IFollow last night but came across very much a Rovers fan.
Has he done something the past to rile fans?

I politely beg to differ Camps. Not bizarre at all IMHO.

Playoffs are regarded just as FA, FL and other cup ties. The '10 successive wins' record concerned is for 'League Competition'. Like cup-ties, Playoffs can be won on penalties - does that count as a draw or a win/loss in the counting of unbeaten or winning runs? If you play a weak team, or against a Premier U23 team in the Associate Members Cup, does that count as much as other matches?  Does a Wembley match count as an away match in records such as 'run of away wins'?

We have separate goalscoring records for 'League Matches' and 'across all competitions

It would certainly be possible to have match sequence records 'across all competitions' but we don't seem to do that. League Records are strictly for League Matches counting towards table position.

Anything else would be very difficult to be consistent IMHO

I think you have to align football managers with politicians when it comes to what they say about the opposition. The only difference is that pre-match they will often allude to the strengths of the team they are coming up against, but afterwards there are many reasons why they will not want to give credit. To be fair, from their point of view, it is in the interests of the club to play down the performance of the opposition; some fans at least are only too willing to go along with them.
