He's an absolute dud, he was shite at West brom, shite at Watford, his lump it past midfield tactics are fucking woeful.

Literally what my Barnsley mate said 😂

Seems to me that any no mark nobody, not successful and playing the fucking game can get a managerial job at Rovers these days. Do those who do the interviews actually ask for a CV? 

A French fucking frog who knows nowt about football in England as is proved by his previous appointments. 

Is he even from France?

On the new manager thread I labelled him a poor man's John Beck. I've seen nothing to change my mind on that apart from maybe apologising to John Beck.

Not impressed by anything I've seen so far. The team's gone backwards.

On Saturday I hope he reverts to 433. Trav, Tronstad and Buckley in the middle. Gueye with Ohashi and Dennis narrow. Sod playing the ball up, dribbling - lump it into the box and get to the second balls for 90 mins. It'll be a damn sight more threatening than the last 3 games. 

 

Agree, can’t start with today’s formation again, we don’t have wing backs, Ribeiro and Brittain were pinned by the opposition and they can’t play through the channels by themselves. 3 CBs lack understanding at times, risky at this point to the mess with things at the back. Need to sort out the midfield instead. JE always steadied the back first.

Given the comments of Elliott Bennett and posts on his podcast, on the under the cosh thread, looks like this guy is going to accept being told, who he does and who he doesn’t start/ use, which suits the hirearchy down to the ground. 

The lineup at Stoke, was quite rightly frowned upon before kick off and now makes sense. 
Give him a 3 year contract, if he will accept this regime and get him talking about the summer and next season ASAP rather than the top six and play offs, which should have been the narrative.

Allez Les Bleu indeed, we have a anything you say sir, manager I’m afraid and whether it’s me judging him too early or not, I’ve already seen enough.

What did Benno say exactly?
