Schofield

[Chris Black come back]

We’ve been told that basically the manager / head coach will not be responsible solely for recruitment. It’s hard to judge Schofield really as he’s having to piece together a side out of parts that don’t fit together.

[ForsolongaRover]

A bit like the Government then…nothing is going right and no one can he held responsible. No wonder the simplistic answer for some is “Sack the board”!

[Sammy Chung was King]

SOD, Was very lucky with the players he inherited but he took that squad onto the next level. He had backing that no manager since has had. It was a fantastic time and I enjoyed it. Now it’s back to the drawing board. Danny needs help with funds for real quality signings and I would suggest an experienced man at the side of him could help.

[MrWoodySir]

I guess we have to hope the fundamentals are better for Tuesday…

[bpoolrover]

I can’t understand his style of play he wants, slow build up, very little attacking threat! The players he has brought in are average at best, does not bode well for a re build that we clearly need

[sedwardsdrfc]

Probably watched a Pep coaching dvd while doing his badges so tries to have L2 players sustain possession but what happens is we never get high enough up the pitch

[DonnyOsmond]

I think their is potential that Schofield will be a quality manager for us. He just needs to right players. The performances are better than under McSheffrey.

the odd performance has been Better yes but some have been as bad or worse

[DRFCTom]

We’re having shots on goal which is a bonus, we went about 4 games in a row under GMC with no shot on goal.
Every manager needs time, give him this summer and let’s see where we’re at but very difficult to be positive as a rovers fan these days

[Chris Black come back]

It is absolutely horrific as a spectacle and the results bear out the typically piss poor and half hearted performances, but we should see this through to the summer and let Schofield have time to try and turn this around. It's obvious we are in transition although not so obvious what we are transitioning to.

Agree we have to stick with him and he needs to be backed with better players. Part of this mess we’re in is too many changes in manger.

[mushRTID]

Not been a great start for Danny has it.
Disappointing stuff overall for me.

Do you really think that?

It’s shit and on a par with GM

Yeah.

[Jersey Rover]

We all love to watch champagne football, playing out from the back, playing through the thirds and all that, but we are a average League 2 Team, there needs to be a mix, you can’t do the same thing week in week out and expect a different result.

[since-1969]

DS needs time, he was/is a very highly rated coach.

We are to my eyes playing much better attacking football on the whole, not results wise(yet)but I am far more confident in what DS is showing to what GMc showed, and that it will eventually change to be more consistent and provide more results.

He needs his own team, and to find who can in the current team, play his way. We have given most managers this chance, DS deserves this.
The interesting part will be who he keeps in the summer, especially in defence.

What makes him a rated coach ! Has a track record of success to be measured against  or is this potential based on what ?

By that logic there never be any new managers. He’s worked with some top coaches at top clubs learning the trade. They all said good things about him.

Yes doesn’t make him a great manager but look at Arteta he was in a similar boat and given time has got his team playing, it’s not as simple as experience = success.

there’s a big difference between the CV of McSheffery to DS. If DS was inexperienced then McSheffery was a toddler in comparison.

As we’ll knowledge a Manager should be a good communicator and a motivator enough to influence  the hearts minds of all his players . Tactically we look inept and clueless . We often talk about a “Plan B” a basic plan would be a benefit ! 

[rich1471]

Ifollow commentary even said today Hartlepool looked like they had a game plan ,and we just lumped it forward if something does not change quick we could be in a relegation battle very soon

[German Rover]

Blokes a fraud.

There's no plan B. There's no flexibility of thought, it's just this crap formation and playing out from the back.

Alot was made out of him working with bielsa when he signed. A bielsa team wouldn't play like that they wouldn't dare .

[ncRover]

More burying his head in the sand and not taking accountability.

“We were brave going for the win”. F*** me we were playing 23rd in the league at home.

We can all see the system isn’t working from the stands. We were relying on Tom Anderson to be our main creative output today. I mean, come on. The players looked lost.

I wonder if he’s told the players he’s in the wrong or if he’s bollocking them for not giving enough? Nah, probably being nicey nicey telling them it’s all ok and making sure everyone gets along.

think today you've hit the nail on the head

[Retdon1]

The bloke hasn’t got a clue. We swapped our failed youth team coach for Huddersfield's failed youth team coach and the results are the same, not good enough.
