He’s got criticism for his approach to games which up to last night was negative and never going to get us a result unless we got lucky eg Middlesbrough at home. Sacking MT was supposed to give us a fighting chance to stay up. LR tactics have taken us backwards in that the one thing we had under MT was a chance at home. Just because he’s new doesn’t make him exempt from criticism.
You make some valid points about the philosophy and how we approach things. I agree with a lot of it.
Many people are to blame for the state we are in now.
LR will be judged for the performances on the pitch and yes he’s inherited a difficult situation however has he set us up to try and win a game?
No he hasn’t and he’s responsible for that.
Last night was better and have a go that’s all we ask.
TS sacked MT without a clue who he wanted as next manager - he just hoped that someone who he approved of applied for the job. Mistake - a proper club would have sounded out available managers before sacking an out of his depth manager. TS then took a punt on third choice. He should have stuck with MT until he had the financial offer in place to attract a proper manager. Amateur club with autocrat as chairman = trouble
