Sandercock : Sun Jun 10, 2012 1:32 am  

So after the recent comeback against Wire and the win over FC, what's the the fans perception of the man from down under?

I believe he is the right man for Rovers long-term as of their new signing policy/structure. But only time will tell.

Is he the man to take Rovers forward or is the jury still out?

After 2 spawny wins the man is now heralded as the next wayne bennett in east hull. Of course, if Hull and wire hadn't put their respective cues on the rack at the right time for rovers then he'd be a useless aussie whinger who should be on the next plane home.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle

Re: Sandercock : Sun Jun 10, 2012 7:37 am  

Before the 2 recent wins, I still think that sandercock is the right man but think he needs to cut back on the moaning when defeated, we have played well in patches this season and if we can become a consistent team then i think we can be pushing for the top four, if not this season then at least next year.

once the players who are getting used to is new ways and he has a team which he can call is own we will do OK has long has he is happy here that is the key to us all doing well lets hope in a couple of seasons we give him the freedom of the city and we all

I've never slated him (yet) its his first senior post and will need time, it didn't help him having the injured players that he did at the start either,
I'm not buying into this top 4 in the next year either, were a long long way behind the best teams to be a top 4 side, yes we sneaked in there the other year, but doing it consistently, IMO its years away. Were like Everton in that we think were big, but in reality we aren't big enough.
Hopefully Sandercock will do what he's been brought over to do, and help bring through some great young prospects

hes a bit of a moaner but the rugby we play is better than that under morgan in my opinion

Re: Sandercock : Sun Jun 10, 2012 8:29 am  

When we were awful and people were baying for Sandercock's blood I said we needed to give him until at least the middle of next season. Nothing's changed. Sandercock will and should be judged on his conversion rate of academy players to first team regulars. Hudgell's remit is to make the club financially viable off the field, Sandercock's is to make it financially viable on the field.

Rovers won both those games bcause we held onto the ball and totally outplayed the opponents in the second half.

Re: Sandercock : Sun Jun 10, 2012 8:39 am  

Does anybody know how the youngsters played and the results of the academy trie header? As I imagine these are the future of rovers

Re: Sandercock : Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:06 am  

Fans always exaggerate - 1 minute he's a clueless whinger, the next he's the messiah. As Jake says, the truth is likely to be somewhere in between. If he stops complaining and quietly gets on with the job he will get the time needed to make his mark (or not).

Sandra was right all along.
