The secret of our 'success'
« on: May 17, 2011, 01:38:51 PM »
I believe it's one defeat in seven, and fifth in the current form table. Not brilliant, but better than many of us thought we'd do, so I think it's time we paid tribute to the man who's come in and been responsible for our upturn in fortunes.

Ladies and gentlemen, join me in saying well done to Glenn Roeder.

I had faith in him, after all he is the most experienced man in the Premier league when it comes to a relegation dog fight.
Nice one Glenn.

Bloody hell yes, forgot about him.
Took a lot of stick on here as well as I recall.

Well done Glen, I said at the time we were overreacting

While we're at I think Dunne deserves a mention. Got a lot of deserved stick earlier in the season and for his part in the health farm piss up but there's no denying that his form over the past 3 months has been a lot better.

Stretching it a bit, isn't it (rather like the shirt that stretches across Dunne's oversized gut)? - thought his performances against Stoke and Wigan were average to say the least.

No way does Dunne get any credit. He should be nothing but embarrassed of his contribution this season.
He probably won't be, but he should.
He can do one as soon as possible as far as I'm concerned.

Up to January we were a total shambles defensively, it's still not as good as it was under MON but it is much, much better and a lot of that is down to him.

No, it's definitely Roeder. I think he should be given a crack at the manager's job.

I was thinking about this the other day.

Haven't NRC & Petrov started all these games in centre midfield together?

Disagree, Chris.
The last 7 games we've had the same back four - and they've done okay. Crucially, I think that our recent reasonable form is down to having Walker and LY at fullback: they've done a lot of the sweeping up that was perhaps not being done defensively previously.
It's still not great as we know, but I struggle to give credit to Dunne for anything on the pitch this season, given that he is a seasoned senior footballer who should have been a darn sight better than he has been.
