Has grant mcann ran out of credit ?

[Branton Red]

The answer to the question is No.

But having said that McCann should take the majority of the blame for today's shambles.

Not making any changes to the side from Tuesday's tough assignment was absolute stupidity.

[mpc123]

Yes noone can disagree aweful today.

I thought 5 subs at once would have come on as it wasnt happening for anybody.

[In the box]

On the way back. For me it’s the same mistakes and more importantly the same mindset when in a losing position for me. It was game over at 1-0 there and as much as I love Mols, he’s the main culprit for it. Just downs tools. Sterry should have been dragged at HT and not for the first time this season. He then goes and makes the mistake for the 2nd. We never ever learn. Win a game and think we’re invincible. He’s out far too much trust in these players and tried to patch it up again in January but, not in the areas most needed. Full backs need to be addressed.

Winning isn’t the thing , it’s not wanting get beat that should be our thing . We fall apart as a team when going behind instead of galvanising to get back into the game . McCann has to take the blame for not creating the right mindset to compete for 90mins and only then can you say that your tried your best !!!

[ncRover]

3rd away game in 7 days.

Their budget is huge too.

[dickos1]

A poll like this when before today we were flying high in the form table just about sums this clown up.

[PDX_Rover]

McCann and run.

That’s what I’m saying.

Here we go, another McCann in or out vote. Yaaaaawwwwwn. Bad day, entire team looked knackered, rest up refocus and move on, oh yes , and with the same manager.

Get a grip fella, I clearly said I want asking if we should sack him.

Disagree with that as an excuse an it'll be a poor cop out to just put it down to that.

They did a proper job on us that first half, totally nullified Molyneux (and in turn, Adelakun, who does nothing when Molyneux isn’t on it).
McCann should’ve been trying to work round that at half time, it was obvious a tactical change was needed but like we’ve done plenty this season, we wait for another then just throw a couple of subs on.

It isn’t “knackered” that’s got us all at sea defending our own box.

It isn’t “knackered” that sees McGrath step out of position, fail to win the dual and leave us stranded time and time again.

It isn’t “knackered” why we’re never proactive with tactical changes.

It’s horrendous defensive recruitment, set up and in-game management.

I’m not calling for McCann to be sacked but he’s getting a level of excuses from our fanbase that previous managers haven’t been afforded and some of it is unwarranted.
Yes he got us back up but that will account for very little if after a few more million of Bramall’s money, we end up back in the very same league as we started.

The current season is the be all and end all for a football manager, that is the job. You don’t gain any league points for achievements made in a previous season.

We as fans need to hope we can grind out enough from now to end of season, or at least drop lucky with a couple of others being laughably bad (thanks Wigan) but for me, there’s serious talks and decision to be made at the seasons ends as to where we and McCann go next. We cannot have another season of recruitment like this, it is as simple as that. Some need reminding we support Doncaster Rovers FC, not Grant McCann FC.**


**this isn't a post just on reaction to today’s loss.

[GazLaz]

How teams have we beaten this season that were in the top half when we played them?

[StocksArmy]

3rd away game in 7 days.

Their budget is huge too.

Here we go. Same mindset as the players and staff. May as well all not made the 3hr journey then eh!

[Chris Black come back]

Today was probably on par with Orient away for the worst performance of the season. I think two attempts on goal all game. Hope we improve next time out. Today was an insult.

[DRFCSouth]

It's just one game. We have been so much better recently. That said, we do seem to have games where, when we are behind, I don't see a way back.
This is all part of a learning experience in this league, where clearly the quality is much higher than some of us thought it would be.

[jmt23]

It has been a tough on the players in the last week or so. - it would be on any team, it eventually tells.

Wycombe do have a huge budget too and a great squad of players, we would struggle against them when we are fully firing, but it’s the manner of performance today that is my biggest concern.

That’s why not making changes today was mystifying.

[dickos1]

Yep should have rested some today, but they’ve all been great form so would’ve been replacing in form players with players who were out of form.
Catch 22

It’s not a catch 22 at all. It’s what you have a squad for. There’s enough medical data now to be ably to make smart decision in these spots. 

[Rupee92ONLY]

Can’t change many if any without a big drop off in quality. He played our best 11. If he really believed the “knackered” nonsense then he’d have shifted things at half time or even earlier. Don’t think leggy was even an issue today tbh.

Hiding…where? In the data stream?

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

I mean 10 PTS from the 5 games before says absolutely not. He wasn't the goat after those wins and he's not useless today, stop with the sensationalist shite.

[sedwardsdrfc]

He’s not ran out of credit yet. If he keeps us up he’s done his job. If we go down we should think about changing because he’s been backed well enough.

I think he’ll keep us up we can beat the teams around us

[selby]

  What's the point of changing the manager now? If he keeps us up this season he will have done well, anything else from the very beginning was way off the mark at this level and the players we have, a lot of whom are grossly over rated by the supporters.
  Player recruitment and the future is a conversation to be had at the end of the season by the powers that be.

Behind your keyboard, saying things you can only fantasise about saying  to someone's face.

Still not answered my question.

[In the box]

The answer to the question is No.

But having said that McCann should take the majority of the blame for today's shambles.

Not making any changes to the side from Tuesday's tough assignment was absolute stupidity.

When have heard in an interview McCann take complete responsibility for the result , team selection or performance. Never as far as I can recall .., he can talk a good game before it but never says that one’s down to him !!

He can't win though can he? If he changed a winning team he'd have been heavily criticised for that!
