I get the impression it is more the fact they see the same old weaknesses from all through the DM reign being repeated time and again. Different players, same formation, same result. No one is preaching Armageddon because we nearly threw away the first game, the concern surrounds the apparent lack of the same old problems not having been addressed, albeit early days, but the worrying signs are still there. Same old problems? We were top of the form table and a small handful of wins from getting promoted at the end of the season. We were in the top 3 teams in the second half of the season. Your grievances must still be lingering from before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 7 hours ago, SiJ said: I do think it is important to acknowledge the fact that the players did get themselves back into the game. A few years ago, we would have lost that 3-2 or perhaps conceded a fourth. We showed some guts to get a third and I think shortly after could have got a fourth (Bannan scissor kick blocked?). We should never have been chasing the game in the first place though! Why can't some people see DM can't sort the defence for whatever reason. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your grievances must still be lingering from before that. There has been a constant trend though, of below average performances even when we were ‘doing well’. Games we should have romped, were last minute nail biters. Also, a season is a full season, not half a season. It is pointless being a ‘top three’ side in the second half of the season when the season is already over by Christmas ( certainly with regard to autos). My opinion is my opinion. I may be right or I may be ridiculously wrong, but I see flaws in his management being repeated time and again, from the relegation year ( not his squad, but still the manager), through last season, into the pre season and then the disjointed sh*t show, disorganised performance on Saturday. Just too many common denominators for my liking that set the alarm bells ringing, even allowing for being only one game in. I’m not being hysterical, what will be will be and all will be revealed as the season unfolds. As I put in another thread, this is not a vendetta against DM. No one will be more happy if I’m proved wrong but the same old lack of proactivity and decision making leaves me somewhat doubtful. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parajack Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Its not one match though is it mate,?....its the same issue repeated through 3 seasons now,Like i said Forest Green Rovers won their opening match FFS..WW the same...but we leak 3 goals against a side we (easily) beat 4-1 last Year....Give away a lead (twice) to soft goals...and than go behind.....before managing a draw...DRAW Its 2 points NEEDLESSLY dropped......... AGAIN...& not the flying start that others have achieved ....Pompey were poor.... i do agree talk of reverting to a back 4 after 1 game is ridiculous..when 352 served us so well last Year,and we havnt yet seen what Smith can do(though Rovrum fans were speculating ON THEIR FORUM(yes its speculation,but maybe they have picked up on something ? has Smith had a knock,?) he might go the same way as our other Rotherham capture Lewis Wing under DM..?as our way of playing and slow build up leaves sides too much time....to defend and get men behind the ball... I hope our next match proves me wrong,and moving forward we dominate what is a very poor Division... I will be happy to eat my words...WAWAW 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just he can't seem to fix a basic issue. Yes we got close but really we should have been clear at the top. An experienced manager would have fixed the issues and gained us points. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read this through a few times and I’m not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me… I think it’s a counter argument to what I said, and you said I was being patronising so that indicates you think what I said was wrong but beyond that I’ve no clue what your trying to say.
