They looked very limited, but organised.

Sure but being poor 1 game means very little to how they are in general , they are now above us as it stands

People put way too much emphasis on one game

You can be utter shit one game but fomlow it up with 2-3 good games which is good enough overall

I can't say that this would inspire much confidence

Wayne Rooney: We have tried so many things but it isn't working!

Perhaps Mike Phelan was brought in to replace him rather than assist?

Pretty sure that wasn't me. I do remember saying I preferred RVN as he had done his apprenticeship as a coach and assistant unlike Lampard, Rooney and Gerrard, who bypassed that and went straight into management.

He should do the honorable thing and resign, he's just not cut out to be a manager of a football team.

He could always work for Sky on Soccer Saturday.

Lamps has had 3 jobs under this belt so experience ain't an issue for us now

My issue with Lampard was that his last couple of jobs were failures. He's here now so I'm fully behind him

His last thing was failure. Segment can be made for keeping Everton up

But like you said he's cov manager now. If he fucked up by all means have a go. But so far so good. Most people loved robins and they have to admit lampard has started well

They will be relegated and that should put an end to Rooney’s hopeless managerial career. They seemed badly organised and even after being caught out tried to pass out from the back, we definitely press better from the front under Lampard.

Thought the team looked at ease throughout. Defence clearly fired up although ended up not being tested. Midfield excellent, sheafs best performance against easy opposition.

Eccles first finish was excellent and EMC is going to be a beast.

Awful opposition of course, so can't get too far ahead ourselves need to build on it now.

Thought the referee was very good today, missed the penalty decision but overall very very assured performance.

I cannot understand why he chooses Championship clubs as the manager, I think it is lack of brainpower, he should have served an apprenticeship as an assistant manager to a seasoned and capable manager to a decent league one club before going on to be a manager. He is currently Plymouth's problem, the guy in charge of them can't be all that smart given Rooney's record last season.

Was saying earlier at the game I think he’ll be gone before Jan window opens! Although it is quite tight down the bottom so a few wins does lift you out the bottom 3

It’s weird how you so desperately push this narrative- you are by some distance the most negative & pessimistic of all. Strange.

Their keeper was frighteningly like Collins.
Looked like him. Poor positioning. Weak hands. Couldn't stop anything on target.

Let's hope that nonsense is behind us now.

Eccles has a lot of ability, but I feel he still lacks the confidence in himself. A very rounded player who's solid at everything.

I don’t think you can overstate what a great performance that was of the back of such a poor defeat. Only disappointment was not scoring second half but we kept a clean sheet so you can’t have everything. Roll on Sunday.

We finished 5th having spent very little , the point I'm making is that Wednesday and Derby are both doing much better than you keep giving them credit for , we got smashed 4-1 last week by a team in 20th

If EMC had not gone off I think he may have got 5 mins.

Players really rate him, heard from someone that it’s his Visa stopping him playing and not an injury, expect to see him after new years day ?
