McSheffrey post match interview

[DonnyOsmond]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0c1vsy9

Quite blunt and honest.

[ChrisBx]

Listening to that doesn't give me much hope.

[Pside]

Not the most inspiring for next season is it

[mushRTID]

Very odd interview.
At times responded well.
At other times sounded completely disinterested.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Given the circumstances and the line of questioning, I don't have a problem the way he responded.

If you didn't have hope with him before today, I doubt very much you would change your mind.

[normal rules]

He mentioned three or four key back room personnel that we were lacking.
I’d like to know what these roles are?

[elmsallrover]

Just seen an interview on sky sports thinks we could stay up saying you never know

[normal rules]

He does not seem to accept we are down either?
Perhaps when he looks at the table later tonight he will have a re think.

[Rovers91]

He mentioned three or four key back room personnel that we lacking.
I’d like to know what these are?

First one is a good manager.

[1-0 to the Doncaster]

Rabbit in headlights. When asked about how do you change a losing mentality - answer you change the personnel.
He has to go.

[ScillyRover]

Totally delusional. He cant recall the sequence of results earlier in the season, wont admit we are well and truly relegated, passes the blame onto his backroom staff, thinks we have a strike force that has come good, etc. etc. I have no faith whatsoever that he is the right man going forward. Seemed aghast when told the number of goals conceded.
And by the way, good on Tom for asking very direct questions that need to be asked!

[Dare to dream!]

Shocking interview.

Doesn’t know how to answer and the answers he does give have no substance. Even gets naggy towards the interviewer.

[DonnyOsmond]

I thought what he said was alright tbf. He knows what's wrong with the club and plans to address that. If we bring in someone new they'll be coming in blind at this stage. The best choice right now is to keep GM.

[The Dav]

Missed chances to put the ball in the net ! Wtf……Gary you’ve got to shoot before we can hit the back of the onion sack ! Clearly punch drunk, poor lad !

[Retdon1]

Wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up as our new head of football

[adamtherover]

imagine that guy from bbc humberside asking the questions..  he would rip him to shreds....

[DRCraig]

He has never inspired me in any interview. That is one of my problems with him.

[sedwardsdrfc]

What is with wanting more back room staff? We’re now a L2 club how can we have 3-4 extra staff on top of what we have! Can’t just bring in new coaches to make up for your own failings.

[keith79]

We've never had so many back room staff.

[Donny Exile in York]

Would sooner us have two good centre forwards on the pitch brought in who can create and know where the onion bag is..

Burnsey would absolutely hammer him if how he grilled Grant McCann to submission is anything to go by..

[Alan Southstand]

You can literally drive a bus through some of those answers.

I love the one about……..so, you’ve got 2-3 months to sort all this out. How are going to do it. Answer - Well, we’re going to have some meetings!

[sedwardsdrfc]

We've never had so many back room staff.

Smacks of not knowing what your doing. Need to delegate more because I don’t actually know how to coach x,y and z.

If we have a recruitment guy a HoF and 3-4 1st team coaches what exactly is the manager doing? Picking an 11 and making subs? Get down to Sunday league if that’s all you want to do

What's wrong with bringing in a coach who is 7/10 at something instead of making the manager do their best at something they're 4/10 at?

As a Rovers fan I want the best people possible in to do each role, don't you? Or would you just want the manager to do it all?

[Alan Southstand]

DEinY:

…….and a keeper, a rb, lb, 2 solid cb’s and 2 or 3 good midfielders?

We’ve 4 1st team coaches including the manager. Not sure what the normal number for a L2 club is but I’m sure that’s about the norm or over the norm. It’s Maybe more that what we had recently since Dickov had Paul Butler as coach (think it was Dickov) I think we’ve just had a assistant and manager plus all the sports science team which we also have now.

So another 3-4 coaches is too much. If the head coach is so poor at coaching all these elements why is he in the job? Why don’t we employ a manager that doesn’t need a 8 man coaching team to get his players remotely organised? Every other club seems to manage it and finish above us.

As a rovers fan I want the best people in each role and that starts with the manager. If he’s not that person getting the rest in is just an expensive waste I’m afraid. In principle I agree with you. In this situation it’s just madness.

[dickos1]

Good interview for me,
Whatever he said you’d have the usual folk slagging it off

[sedwardsdrfc]

He’s given us more good interviews than points. It’s just Dickov all over again pick a team and hope no thought beyond that

[dickos1]

He’s a lot better manager than dickov,
He’s made mistakes, it’s his first job!
But dear me people wanted him sacked before he’d even been appointed, not many people
Wanted to give him a chance.
Being in charge for 3.5 months, taking over a side bottom of the league, if you didn’t think it would take longer than 3.5 months to sort it out then you’re in cuckoo land

Hope he comes good. I was ok with him in been given the job think he did ok as caretaker and I’m all for not going for the same old merry go round of managers.

I even accepted relegation so long as there was something to build on for next season. Didn’t expect him to sort the whole club out.

He’s made mistakes but I can’t think of anything that’s gone right for him either. Just needed that little bit of hope.

Put it this way if he was a young player and has this many poor performances or mistakes he’d never play again. It’s harsh it’s competitive and not nice but the pro game is a high level for players and coaches
