We all have the same gripes about the tactics. They will only change if he thinks he’s seen it himself. As mentioned above he’s started picking some academy players, he’s stopped chopping and changing the line up and he is now playing two strikers in a partnership.There must be some light at the end of the Tunnel sometime, surely....
The thought of Rowett being manager all the time we are in the Championship mid-table.....
Agree. Buying players in January in an overinflated market is not good business sense, unless of course you are desperate (NUFC). We aren't desperate as we have a good enough squad to stay up and the youngsters could do with more game time. Wait until the summer, lose some of the high earning/under performers and kick on next season. The one caveat to my point is; that we pretty much say the same each season - so overall progress is still pretty slow. But progress none the less?Managers are judged on results and table positions, we were 19th and heading for possible relegation when he took over. To be fair he’s got us consistently in the top half of the table with little money to spend and a wage cap that would inhibit anyone in terms of loans. If this was your business or investment you’d be quite happy with that return.
The youngsters is where our progression lies with some senior pro’s as leaders on and off the pitch.
I don’t care what anyone thinks but Jed should of been sold last summer when he made it clear our offer was not going to cut it. I said it at the time and got slaughtered.
A possible 4/5M fee has been lost IMO and that monies could of been used sensibly. That’s not the managers fault it’s the CEO and board to blame.
I personally don’t think we should sign anyone in this window, clear out the deadwood this summer and be ready early doors straight after the last game. Prices are always inflated during this window, offload what you can and play the youngsters IMO.
What makes you think the CEO and Board didn’t try to sell him last summer?Managers are judged on results and table positions, we were 19th and heading for possible relegation when he took over.

Where's the players and money coming from to play this exciting and attacking football?
Jed and his agent played us by leaving the door open to him signing and him being fully committed throughout the season. They let the player take control of the situation and that should never happen.What makes you think the CEO and Board didn’t try to sell him last summer?
It wouldn’t surprise me if they did and there were no takers at an acceptable price
