Dear oh dear. Just as it looked like we were turning a corner.
Defence a disgrace.
The defenders aren't a disgrace ... the way the team is set up is a disgrace - Rooney just doesn't take into account player's limitations.
Can people now see why we used to play with a low block with 2 in front of the defence and only pushed one full back up at a time ?
But having said that i get NO satisfaction from being right - i like Rooney as a person, think he's a decent lad .... and it breaks my heart to see us under-performing like this
This 100%
Why do we set up, week in week out, in a system that leaves us vulnerable.
Stoke aren't managed by an idiot, they know our weak point and have exploited it ruthlessly.
Rooneys tactics are suicide.
He’s either too thick or stubborn to adapt.
If the owners do the right thing before the weekend, tonight might just turn out to be the most positive point of this season.
Rooney won't need sacking, he looks ready to quit as it is
Any other team. Any other manager. Rooney would be sacked.
malahidebluesRooney, Oshea and Cole have to go, now, shocking
Dion Sanderson has to do much better. It’s not the system that he’s struggling with - it’s basic defending.

But this is more entertaining apparently. A winning mentality.
We can all see what rooneys trying to do, right. It'll get there.
RagsYou have to work with the players you have. These players can't play from the back and press. There just not good enough.Dear oh dear. Just as it looked like we were turning a corner.

Reedy1968Time to get an experienced manager in
Clear the decks and start a rebuild
Steve Cooper's free. I'll drive up and get him.
We’ve neither played from the back or pressed today.

This just ain’t sustainable unless he turns over 14 players in January because they ain’t doing it for him.
Writing is on the wall tbh for the owners!
They are smart men in business, unfortunately a football pitch isn’t spreadsheets!
