Leveller Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 What an extraordinary turnaround he seems to have achieved there. Arrived on 1 January and appears to have 9 wins from 11 and a whole raft of mid season signings. They have 40 points from 33 games now, so it looks like they had 13 from 22 when he arrived. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 He did an excellent job for them first time around. I don't blame him for going to qpr at the time but I imagine if you were stuck in a lift with him, he'd admit that he wished he'd stayed at Burton and got them promoted to the championship. They were top of league 1 when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 He was interviewed on Sky yesterday and pretty much said he was surprised (but very happy) that they took him back - he feels he didn`t treat them as well as perhaps he should have when he left. It was refreshing that he could be so honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I didn`t realise until just now that they`d signed Michael Mancienne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the next best thing once upon a time. I’ve been keeping an eye on their results since they signed Smith & I noticed Mancienne in their line up & couldn’t believe his age, where did the time go! Not sure they have lost since Smith signed.

COYR I remember him looking fantastic for QPR against us on our first game back to the Championship in 07'. Looks really really impressive that day.

Simon79 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Yeah, remember that game. Think he was in & around the England squad at some point (maybe as a youngster who was invited to train with the first team). But never really kicked on from there.

Sniper Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Doing a fantastic job there, and Jonny Smith by all accounts have been playing very well. Just a dam shame even with Burton's revival, there are 4 teams even more dog shite than the SAGS, even though it's still pretty close. Well done Rochdale yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think someone like Phil Jones is 28... He`s one of those players that always looked a lot younger than they were. When he was 19/20 and at QPR he looked about 12!
