Extending that over a season would have got us in the play-offs which is just what Chansiri set for DM (or had he left by then?). Whatever, a decent bit of recruitment and we should be capable of top six next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelters Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Thank you Danny Rohl and all the team. And thank you Mr Chansiri for at least partially redeeming some of your previous mistakes. I still can’t quite believe we are definitely playing Championship football next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I’ll not speak so much about today. I didn’t see us losing against a bang out of form Sunderland side, and first 45 minutes, we were really good. Deserved to be ahead. Yes, they had a spell where they created and missed good chances, and James Beadle made good stops, but, we took the sting out last 15 mins, and managed the game out. A game full of 7 out of 10’s, although I thought Valentin, Iorfa, Palmer and Bernard were very good. What I do want to speak about is what a job that Rohl and his staff has done, not just to turn the mentality around, but to get a tune out of a squad of players who on paper are not good enough for the division, get them fit, inject a clear style and structure, but more impressively, teaching a group of players new things when we all wrote a lot of them off. The points tally alone is impressive, but you marry that with all of the other work done, it’s a frankly astonishing turn around and the fact that this is Rohl’s first managers job, and it’s in a league he has no experience of. What we want now is DC to back him, and let him build something. If Rohl is still in charge in three years time, we’ll be a premier league team. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyben Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 1 hour ago, Alan Finney said: DR post game pitchside interview with Staton I think. Last minute of the interview Staton asks if he's up for the challenge next season. He puts the ball firmly in the clubs court although diplomatically, he now needs backing and I hope he gets it. Come on DC, hands down the back of that sofa and pop along and see the family if needs be. After watching that I think you're talking bollocks. He thanked DC and ended by saying he's got an idea about the direction he wants the club to go in and hoped its going to be more than an idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExile Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 To be fair Rohl is quite difficult to read as much as people try and read into everything he says but he’s been pretty consistent in his message he wants to see what the plan is over the summer whenever he’s asked about next season. If it’s true that he has a contract next season as reported in Germany then it’s not as simple as him just deciding to leave though either. If he kept us up and we made a big fee on him too then whilst we’d rather he stayed it’s better than what we could have ended up with when he first arrived ie a relegation and him leaving anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canterburyowl Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Agree AB, why would he not back DR with some tuna bucks now... he is already in deep with what he has invested in DR and his team! And hopefully we now get to keep big Dish and Pov! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 1 hour ago, Bellsview said: Sounded very much like ‘back me or lose me’ statement to me. I've played that back several times and I'm not getting that vibe. He reiterates what he's said in previous interviews about plans and ideas and that you need more than ideas. In his place I'd be saying exactly the same. I certainly wouldn't be doing an Atkinson, saying live on radio that I'm stopping then leaving soon after. DR already has been backed for next season. The pre-season is already booked in. By the sounds of Bannan's interview there are already deals on the table for those that DR will want to stop and these deals will have been Danny's decision, not Chansiri's. The new player shopping list will also have been agreed if the contract extensions have been sorted. The training ground issues will be a longer project but it's moving forward and DR is a major player in that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally there has been a change since last summer - the appointment of Danny, backing him with his support team, younger exciting players with big profit potential. If; big big IF he did leave we'd likely be handsomely compensated à la Bruce. What we do need now though is certainty- one way or the other- expediently. Anyway, I expect Danny to be here in August and today is a good day. Not one for sniping to reinforce deep rooted prejudices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyOwl Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Well now I’ve calmed down got home and had mi tea I can safely say that I’ve never been to a match like it. I was never worried I knew we would see it out and I think we dominated it. The stats say otherwise but whatever Danny has done to this team is just immense hopefully this is the start of the new dawn. Im chansiri in but if he doesn’t realise that this is the chance he’s been waiting for since playoffs 2016 then I may have to join the 1867 crew and hand out flyers We have something special here and I’m a bit giddy Not been this giddy for a while but we will see. Up the Rotherham owls I’m off to bed cos I’m fooked night night everyone see you tomorrow Massive love to you all on here for this season for keeping it real and being the best place for discussion and all things Wednesday.

Skamp Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) How our season mapped out - ignore the minus sign in front of the league position, it was just a quick way of me getting 24th lower than 21st.

I don't think the team will be built around him, even Bannan would accept that can't arise as he gets older. But as an option and a player that can unlock defences he could be utilised well We certainly need more strength in that area of the pitch.

Canterburyowl Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Toadie has got a new article out where Rohl is talking about taking top young players from the prem over the summer now we are a more attractive proposition, citing Beadle as an example. Doesnt sound like someone bolting for the exit door. The Nevs lead by their Fresh Prince really do need eradicating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
