Optimism v pessimism (14 replies)

After another loss. I have been surprised by the amount of positivity about the performance.
Under all the managers that have struggled recently Zola, Cotterill, Clarke. (All of which were managerial changes that the majority of the fans didn’t want and more importantly the replacements fans didn’t want )
People would come up with the “ green shoots of recovery “ type posts or threads.
Rooney has IMHO much better players at his disposal than any of the aforementioned.
His record of lost 5 drawn 1 won 1 scored 8 conceded 16 is as bad as any of them.
I can’t say I have noticed any improvement in our play, that I would not put down to better players back from injury.
Defensively we look inept, and up top we seem to wander between shot shy, and can’t hit the target
Unless we sign a number of players that can defend in this system and a striker in January we are in for another relegation fight.
Even if we do I am far from convinced it will work.
I want Rooney to succeed as I do all Blues managers but the majority of fans weren’t wrong about the previous 3 unwanted managers. I don’t think they are wrong about this one
