Sheffield Wednesday Post Match Thoughts

[Townerslovechild]

Plenty of people moaned about Warne, but you know what you were getting with his team,and I'm sure we wouldn't have looked like that today.
It shouldn't be forgotten how many points we had when Taylor took over, we wouldn't have stayed up without that start.
Being Rotherham manager in the championship is one hardest jobs in football, sorry to say that MT will fail in this job.

A poor poor preformance today.Second best all over the pitch. Damage was done tactically leaving the ultra slow Morrison exposed to Musbas pace which resulted in the assists for Smith's two goals.

However it does my head in with modern football that after every poor result people think a change of manager will resolve a sides problems.

Big picture - we always struggled at this level in modern times. This Manager did well to keep us last year so he is not suddenly clueless. I think he is less likely to do so this time as unfortunately the policy of signing older defenders has backfired. Strangest one for me letting Mccart go to Barnsley - never really given a chance.

However in summary - mistakes have been made,but with the resources available I'm not sure a change of manager is likely to bring a significant improvement.

Rathbone didn’t pick up a yellow so there’s a positive and probably only one

[mellowmiller]

Does he come on match threads when we win? No and whys that?

Hes a wind up merchant.

Btw have you got an opinion about the game or just going to pick up on someone’s post?

I gave a few opinions in the match thread. Nothing's changed so I don't feel the need to repeat them.

The question is fast becoming "Do you trust MT to rebuild at L1 level and challenge for promotion?".

The answer is fast becoming no.

I said that for me he has until after this run of teams near the bottom before I'd call time. I stand by that.

We must beat QPR. If not a victory in that game he should be shown the door.

Well everyone has a line somewhere and today's circus has crossed it for me. Before anyone jumps in and criticises with the usual "fickle fans after one bad result" nonsense, I don't think I fall into that category. I'm often accused of being a happy clapper and I've tried to see positives in Taylor's tenure all the way through.

But today is unforgivable. After beating Coventry with a blood and guts battling performance, we go to a team thats rock bottom, low on confidence and a LOCAL RIVAL. A RELEGATION RIVAL. But Taylor opts to play tactics that have proven time and time again not to work and allowed the most downbeat team in the league to walk all over us. A friend of mine who is an Owls fan said they were there for the taking today and almost couldn't believe their luck at how negatively and slowly we started. If we hit the ground running and pushed forward from the start Wednesday would have collapsed, but we didn't. We played like the ghost of Gareth Ainsworth was deploying the tactics in the hope of grinding out a 0-0 draw. UNFORGIVABLE!

The tactics set by Taylor today were clueless, inept and stunk of an arrogance not seen at Rotherham since Alan Stubbs almost ruined the club.

I know it infuriates postees like IBS when we talk of the "Rotherham mentality," and I know Warne had his faults and limitations, but at least with him the general feeling when we lost was that we gave it a good go and were generally outplayed by teams with much bigger resources than us. In this league, you can take that as a Rotherham fan knowing the financial restraints that we have. But what we witnessed today shows that there is a huge disconnect between Taylor and the club, for all his talk of harnessing a fighting mentality to "silence Hillsborough" he showed today that he just does not get Rotherham United.

I'm not even angry, I'm disgusted. Time to go Mr Taylor, thanks for trying but your experiment has failed. Just a shame you chose the S6 hill to die on

In MTs interview he looks in tears almost. And angry.

I do wonder if a chairman who has formfor sacking managers after bad local derbies has given the warning or marching orders.

The rhetoric from him was odd. He led a war cry and inspired seemingly no one.

I agree about the formation. A formation he's canned three times now 30mins into a game, which tells you he knows he's got it wrong.

After the tactical change we were worse, visible confusion and a lack of giving a toss too.

Rathbone went up for that corner in the early part of the second half. He opened his arms wide and asked "What's going on". Sums up our season.

So why come on here and pick on my post then?

Because you picked on IBS's post or do different rules apply to you?
You may not like his opinions or when he makes them but you are not the referee about what people post on here even though you may think you are.
