Utter Tripe and Misdirection

[shandypants]

I’ve just listened to DM’s interview with Rob Staton. As always, when he wasn’t talking absolute 5h1t, he was directing the conversation to take the subject away from difficult questions. 
 

The cheeky tw@t asked the supporters to get behind the team - he might like to watch what he serves up but does he know how hard it is for supporters to watch? 

I’ve had enough of Moore - to sends me fvvcking crackers. He frustrates and depresses me in equal measure. . 

 

Rob Staton was good though.

When times are tough Rob's the man to send in to ask the questions

You know when local reporters start asking pointed questions that the end is nigh. They usually give powder puff questions that don't put the manager in a difficult position in case he stops co operating with them.

DM is a bit of a flange. He knows the game is up with a lot of the fanbase, but he still persists with the evasive tripe. UTO.

Staton is an absolute brilliant interviewer.
 

Really put him on the spot with some great questions backed up with facts & stats. 

 

Some managers handle the media well. Moore is not one of those managers.

“Flange” sums him up to a tee!!

I get the feeling his comments are aimed at Chansiri and son.  Emperor’s new clothes springs to mind…. “Yeah we’ve employed this sports psychologist who’s doing a fantastic jobs, well worth the money….”

I absolutely agree. I think there’s only Paul Walker that has been as good at asking those questions that need asking. Maybe Walker is a little better but Staton is right up there.

Definitely

I'm sorry (partly because I thought Moore was the one to turn things around this season)....but what the fizz is he talking about?

 

I genuinely don't understand the rationale in responding to injuries by choosing to change system and deliberately play players out of position.

I’d doubt if DM will take the Clunge when it comes to keeping a settled side.

This breaking point for fans seems to have all come in a giant wave… which is confusing when results and performances have been pretty poor throughout his time here. 
 

Now everyone’s seen the light at the same time for some reason… when prior to this people thought he was the right man for the job despite not really offering us much.

I think the massive turning point was the Bolton game where we got battered but somehow managed to win then Moore gave an account of the game in his post-match interview that bore no relation to the match and smacked of incompetence.

Expecting an utter turdfest tmoro

Along with the weird team selections / formations / lack of attacking teams / looking like the away team at home etc 

 

But even prior to this, what success have we had with Moore ?    
 

I think plenty have been living off pure ‘hopefulness’ with Moore instead of facts / stats. 

I hope he turns it around… but I can’t even remember a good spell of games under Moore ? 
 

3 at the start of this season maybe

Most thought he'd lost the plot at least a month ago.

For me personally it's because he's now started talking utter drivel. Last season he wasn't going to be questioned as it wasn't his squad and the situation he inherited was awful.

 

However he had the summer to rebuild, brought in his own new squad and does g have a clue what to do with it. He's now coming out and defending what he's doing, but it's making him look like a clown. He'd be better off just shutting up rather than chatting rubbish in his interviews.

I’m not sure on ‘most’ … I think people warmed to him as a character for some reason with not much to back it up… but anyway, it’s got extremely tedious very quickly. 
 

And on a side note - I can’t see any Wednesday fan usually (even under the circumstances of last season) accepting a relegated manager staying on for the big charge up the league (which isn’t working)

It’s funny how powerful words are… his lip service comments have got Moore only so far… now his words infuriate people  
 

Finally people have seen that, if you aren’t winning games then any talking means flip all really. 

[TrickyTrev]

It stands to reason, rubbish managers will give largely rubbish interviews.

 

Today was a prime example of that.
