Huddersfield post match reflections

[Thesilentman]

The performance was a complete embarrassment! The players strolling round are obviously the one's the manager has publicly stated he doesn't want here, i know he's not named them but it's obvious who they are. McWilliams being the most obvious candidate for me, the way he stopped tracking the player for the 2nd goal is unforgivable! Rafferty another one, meant to be the club captain, he's no leader he's a coward! Time for the chairman to regain his mojo and allow the manager to oust the quitters and bring in the sort of quality he actually wanted in the summer! We are becoming a less saleable asset and I can see another administration coming!

Cayton yes I know that, but my point was around a change at the time had a positive impact at a time when we seemed to be spiraling to a bottom four position. Obviously it is worse now and I am clutching at straws in the hope a change will be enough to lift us out of relegation. I know that our issues are deeper and if TS doesn't stop believing his own ego we will be back here next year. I do not see anything in MH that makes me believe he is capable in this league or the next league down. Very worrying times

Derbs, how can you say he'd be a failure in League 2 without the evidence, or are you using RU66's all seeing eye? There are 20+ players that can be rid of come the close season, Hugill being your favourite. Should we be in League 2 next season, he/we start afresh. This has been a complete baptism of fire for him this season as well you know. This isn't a b.ollockng by the way pal

I clearly recall a fitness coach once being asked to take over a car crash of a side and to try his best to keep us in the Championship. Alas due to his 'new' role and naivety as a Manager, his team set ups and use of his then squad, he failed and we left the Championship.

After a close season break and the good riddance of many under performing wage stealing crap players, the same ex coach/new Manager tried a different approach with his newly acquired team and as they say, the rest became history. Doesn't Matt Hamshaw deserve a crack at it like Paul Warne was given or, shall we all just cry off and sack yet another Manager?

Big question out there for those who have worked in Management/Team Leader roles. In your job when you first set out, were you instantly perfect?

Did you make mistakes along the way and have to re adjust your style and deliverance in order to amend your failure to deliver what was expected or again, were you that perfect?

I am fully behind Matt Hamshaw. He has ideas, plans and truly wants to succeed to bring back stability and maybe the glory times again to us Millers. This requires time, patience and a strong cash injection for this to happen.

His arrival at the club last season saw us stay up. A slight euphoria settled in and he was accepted as 'one of our own'. This season has seen probably our worst ever injury list from a group of players, some of them his buys and mostly those that he inherited. Are we all so blind to the fact of this damning situation but we don't acknowledge this has been our main cause for failure so far this season or, is the be all and end all WE ARE MASSIVE AND WE SHOULD BE PUSHING FOR PROMOTION? Sack him, sack him, sack him.

If he is sacked, those on that side of the bed will say told you so. The others like myself will also feel he wasn't given a good run/chance at it. Football does that to folk, we all have opinons. Whichever way it rolls, it won't stop me following my team my Rotherham United.

Brin great questions, I don't have insider knowledge or anything except judgement based on what I see and read. I don't see a man that learns, 3 at the back has created issues all season and I think he is either stubborn or arrogant and won't see it. I have said before we have two reasonable L1 full backs he plays them out of position, we have decent CBs and he has two decent CBs in the young players as well, no excuse to not play the players in that formation in positions they know, that is a man that isn't going to succeed in my opinion. There are lots of other things as well, but that is a good example.

[Derbymiller]

Paul warne started in January when we were already as good as down, MH had a full preseason and brought in 13 players he has also had numerous opportunities to address the injury situation in terms of reviewing and making requests to the board, according to PD he hasn't done that, certainly in regards to the backroom staff. Now PD might not be telling the whole story I can only go on what is reported. The man lacks gravitas and lacks a presence, manager isn't for him in my humble opinion.

I’ve led teams all my life this is a core belief that leaders should have and exemplify always.
This is key leadership qualities from my experience training.

This doesn’t sound like our current manager imo.
You asked the question so to answer it no he’s not learning from the obvious issue with the formation and set up.
Does he portray the below?

Unrelenting Pursuit of Excellence: A constant drive for peak performance, encouraging adaptation, innovation, and continuous learning.


Humility & Self-Discipline: Valuing character over ego, accepting responsibility, and learning from failures, which builds trust and fosters growth.

Teamwork & Ownership: Fostering deep trust and ensuring members feel ownership of both success and failure, crucial for self-managing, innovative teams.
Desire & Mental Fortitude:

Adaptability & Creativity: The ability to think unconventionally and and adapt to every situation which develop innovative solutions in chaotic environments.

Just my opinion.

Cayton.
In your opinion what was his post match interview?

Honest.
Inexperienced
Car crash

Sorry M8. Not seen it yet. Will have a look later and get back to you

Just watched the interview. I would also add angry to your list. He looked as though he wanted to name names who are letting him/rufc down..
I also though he said (without saying it). What else can I do... "I don't have the players, squad that is needed to compete.

If the figure spouted by radio Sheffield are correct, we are 15th in the budget for league 1 spending then you need all the squads available to be able to compete...
I get the feeling hamshaw just shrugs and says. "What can I do"

Like I've mentioned. Before. It's all about timing and it's not great ATM for hamshaw. And I believe Taylor and Richardson had SIM problems. Where as Richardson at reading the time is perfectly right ATM.

Get your facts right Warney became the manager in November 2016 after KennyJackett quit. Hamshaw another good human being manager but he's got the job so it's sink or swim with him the remainder of this season.

Thanks for the correction, the point is still valid though, Warne was given time to go into a full season because he took the job when we were already in a severe situation and hadn?t had the preseason. MH is being judged on a season where he had a full preseason and time to bring in his own players.
