I think that for the first 4 games we were just freewheeling, with the players just winging it, as RM hadn't had sufficient time to impose any kind of philosophy or identity on the team.
Over the last 4 games we have seen what RM teams are all about.
I'm not happy with knee jerk manager out reactionary comments, but I'm not seeing anything to redeem RM here.
There are no signs of promising things to come.
There are no green shoots.
We've just lost to the worst team in the league and the scoreline flatters us.
The danger is that our new group of players will sink in to that losing mentality that we've seen for the last few years, and turning that around can be incredibly difficult. I'm not confident that RM has the psychological skillset to accomplish that.
I appreciate that we're a project, a work in progress, and the manager is trying to build something, but I can't help thinking that RM is using his own poo as mortar.
