Rate The Manager: Gary Bowyer (Arbroath, Home, 12th Aug 2022)

[TAYZURRI]

How did you rate Gary Bowyer team selection, substitutions and performance against Arbroath?

[1stevie]

Thought one up front was a bit underwhelming on paper but we were entertaining and got the win. Seems to have instilled a never say die attitude that we as fans will always respond well to. Nice touch on the wreath tonight too. All in all, good day at the office.

Has us on the way to having pride in our team again, still a way to go, but he is a breath of fresh air compared to our previous few managers

[Densparker]

He picked the team and they responded. Heads didn't go down unlike previous years.

Early days but we are looking good

Laying wreaths and whooping it up wi the fans, GB really needs to work on the public persona.

GB appears to be doing everything right to date (Results & Performances)

But not only is he progressing successfully in this area, he's adding to this, by putting himself about, to solidify (maybe rebuild) the relationship between Club & Fans, through his general comments, pre & post match interviews & interaction with players & fans on match days.

But I think it may be time we gave great deal of credit to his Coach

(Or maybe an important equal partner in the Management Set-up)

Think it's fair to say he prefers to be in the background off camera.

And if that is the case, we may never know Billy Barr's actual input.

But we are seeing on the field a much fitter hungrier set of players.

So maybe it's noo time lads/lasses, tae gie a Big Cheer for Billy Barr.

WEEL DONE TO THE PAIR o' THEM PLAYERS, FANS SUPPORTERS

I appreciate that this is about rating GB for last night and he and his coaching staff deserve the plaudits, it was also very refreshing to hear both managers being absolutely honest, Dick Campbell is without doubt a "Legend" 

When you think of the drivel some of our historical managers have came out with you can beging to understand why our performance on the park is heading in a very positive direction "With the best still to come"

Had Darren Jackson in shop today. He rates Bowyer, worked with him at Blackburn and says he is a great guy. Darren is scouting for Blackpool now so I didn’t mention Josh Mulligan!

Billy, you should have just said...

"Like most players of his age group, he shows a bit of promise, but very rarely (if ever) delivers..."

And of course,there are his "personal problems" Until he owns up to them, he's a wasted wage"
