I suspect that they've mostly kept their squads together as well, whereas we've had a significant clear out. The lesson is that continuity works better than continual change. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack ambition. We are behaving like a small time south Yorkshire side, who can only see the nearest town as our extreme boundary of thought. Everything about us just screams small, local, also-ran. So how would you describe us? We are a pub league side with a squad of players picked up for free or on loan with a pub league manager.

PortlandOwl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Does it really do us any good constantly changing the manager? Look where its got us in the last few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was already falling apart at Rovers. He took us down. He lost his last six games before joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 All managerial appointments should be done at great height ideally For instance a rooftop terrace or mountain hideaway Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethman75 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Can't say ive been this disillusioned before in 25years of following the owls. Especially when you see the big clubs in the EPL and Europe, they are on a different planet to us on every level.

Silkstone Owl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 5 hours ago, Supersiggi2 said: The change in mindset amongst the fans is very strange. In the summer, everybody seemed to be in one of three groups 1. We'll struggle and be in a relegation dogfight 2. Season of consolidation, mid-table 3. Push for the play offs, you never know what might happen. 13 games in and we're nearer the 3rd option, yet seemingly the vast majority want him out. I get that his team selections and formations are strange at times, but wasn't the first half of the season (especially with 14 new signings) always going to involve chopping and changing and a bit of tinkering? 100% Seems our fanbase are a bunch of melts now if we don’t win 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 i would think that with 14 new players he needs to be granted a bit longer than 13 games to see if he can get them to gel.......he's only lost 3 games with goalkeeping errors costing us in those games chuck in the keeper cost us 4pts in 2 drawn games as well and his best striker hasnt played a game due to injury ......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Cannister Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 What gets me is, when we were looking for a new manager folk were saying about Cook, Rowlett, McCarthy, Pearson etc, nobody said wheat about DM. When DM did sign they same people were saying great choice. Double standards............ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that we can build a push to the PL Dont say it cant be done,because thats exactly what Wilder did with the Blunts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
