Rosler and management team

I know there have been other threads about the manager and would not wish to redirect those

However over the season we have all commented on our various players and think its time to praise the management team for the way they have developed players:

Clayton has progressed well and his second goal yesterday was fantastic, however earlier some felt he would never make the grade

Tom gets better and better yet at the start of his time with us he was like Bambi on ice

Trotta ready to be hung drawn and quartered ends up with standing ovation

The list goes on and reflects well on their ability to spot talent, develop it and be patient when it goes wrong, can't recall many managerial teams that have done so well with young raw talent and most importantly got them to beleive in themselves

What the future holds I don't know but I stand by my view when Rosler was first appointed that it could be one of Brentfords best ever signings
 

Rosler and management team

Some people can't see past 1 performance or 1 pen in Trotta's case. Anyone with half a brain could see the potential in these young players. Uwe has done a great job in getting them to achieve there potential very quickly and deserves a lot of credit we have a fantastic young team & a great manager which we can & should all be proud of.
 

Rosler and management team

I have to agree great job done by all!!
 

Rosler and management team

Looking at the situation as a whole they have done well. By no means the finished article Uwe still makes some strange substitutions and goes negative too often imo when in winning positions which has cost us many points this season, but credit where it is due he is a great man manager, helped by a great team around him. He can only get better, Rome was not built in a day so hopefully if we can hold onto to him the happy days will continue.

Spot on Kingston. But watch the GPG go viral if we fail to beat Yeovil !!!
 

Rosler and management team

Totally agree Mr Pipe but would add the will to win

Throughout my 65 years of support I can accept losing if the players try there hardest,(like most fans) and in all those years have never seen a Bees side with such total commitment to the cause, which in my view was epitomised away at Swindon, confidence low but they fought there way back in, another testament to Uve

The subs situation was awful yesterday, Douglas came on and we were fecked until they went down to 10, thankfully it panned out well but that wasn't good yesterday. I love Uwe as a person and a character, I like him as a manager but he does frustrate the flying feck out of me at times, I hope to grow to love him soon.

Agree re tactical naiveity at times but would point out some of his substitutions have been inspired as well and whether he gets it right or wrong he does always appear to have a reason unlike previous incumbent who didn't know how to use subs. He has a presence, charisma, respect of players and peers and fans which is rare for someone without any great creds or previous links to the club and he is passionate and I think very likeable.
His man management skills appear very good from reading the player interviews in TITS and in my opinion almost all the players he has signed for us to date are all better than those they replaced and we are stronger as a result and playing some of the best football I've seen in 44 seasons following Bees. (jury out on Barrett and maybe Hayes).

He'll do for me, regardless of what division we ply our trade in next season.
 

Rosler and management team

The management team is not horizontal and we need to also recognise those above and below Uwe. He has done a fantastic job over the last two years but so have lot of people behind the scenes. The Chelsea ticketing was a good case in point, many worked hours to make sure everyone was happy

The penalty shoot out yesterday just optimised the New Bees
 

Rosler and management team

Importantly the majority of the loanees this season feel like our own players, rather than the "old crock" or "youth development" panic loans of recent years. Only two loans this season haven't really worked, Fredericks and Spencer.

Mate, Tom A was huge loss but I doubt anyone could have come on from any other team in this division and been a suitable replacement. Douglas was on a loser whatever happened but not sure if anyone else on the bench or in the squad who would be as combative or mobile as Tom. We were far weaker no argument but I don't blame Uwe, he made use of what was available, it needed to be someone who would mix it with McCormack and Ferry and Douglas was the only obvious replacement. Possibly Kev but a close call for me, I thought Uwes' formation and tactics yesterday were spot on and the football we played should have seen us as comfortable winners in 90 minutes - defensive lapses and uncertainty of zonal marking led to all of their goals and that I put down to individuals not the Manager.

He ain't perfect, far from it but I love him already.
 

Rosler and management team

Big picture the club and management team have and are making huge strides. Uwe is much like many of his charges talented, committed but prone to the odd gaffe owing to lack of experience (managerial in Uwe's case). However for every poor decision he and the team have made five or six good un's. So far he has done brilliantly for the club and his own standing in the game as an up & coming young manager. Just needs to finish the job at Wembley on the 19th May- if ever there was a game to showcase his and the young talent he has assembled that is it. Don't worry about what Yeovil can do to us let's take our A game to them.
 

Rosler and management team

Mark Warburton should take a lot of credit for finding/negotiating with agents/bringing in the players who have joined since Uwe became manager.

Douglas is obviously not fit but agree Norwich Tom was badly missed when he went off
Not sure of the injury to his shoulder but he seemed to be limping later
Thought Uwe took Harry off at least ten minutes too soon - Saunders didnt improve us during normal time.
Dangerous in my book to take off one of your potential match winners with the possibility of extra time.
And thats what then followed

I loved his team yesterday, I would have picked the same midfield but felt sure that JD or KOC would have started. Dave and Tom won that battle hands down and the rest fell nicely into place, I just wouldn't have brought on a "not fit" JD and thought we'd thrown it by doing so. It worked out and it feels lovely but the word is like rather than love at the moment, I can be turned.
 

Rosler and management team

Congratulations I say to ALL at Brentford F.C. , Uwe a manager who has grown and grown into the job, ok some decisions seem strange but he is the man in charge.
The players who have been tremendous and have shown us for most of the season, that they never give up and keep on going until the final whistle. ( A couple of seasons if we had lost to Doncaster the way we did on our last game at home, I don't think we would have ever recovered ) but the shear determination from All this season has been brilliant.
The fitness of the players was also a massive thing as for some time since I can remember we only had a couple of injuries all season.

I know at times we have all had a moan and groan, but that is because we are all so passionate about this club and I believe we are now heading in the right direction.

Thanks Uwe and the team for some great football and results this season, - BRING ON YEOVIL !!!!!!

NB, I posted yesterday lunchtime that thought he'd start with either JD or Kev for experience and delighted that he didn't and went with the 4 I wanted. I groaned when Tom went off but he had to, know he was saying "Pop it back in, I'll be fine" but that wouldn't have worked and yes we suffered once he departed. My point was a tired JD or I would guess a tired Kev as a replacement, unsure if either was up to the job. I fall in and out of love easy mate.

Having been to the last 5 finals, it would be nice just to go to one of these games and feel we have given it our best shot. The frustration against Stoke, Crewe, Carlisle, Port Vale and Wigan is that you walked out of the ground knowing that you'd watched one of the worst performances of the season. Maybe not the Carlisle game, but thats only because there were so many dire games that season
 

Rosler and management team

I'm a massive fan, and have posted as much elsewhere. He's still learning his trade like some of the players but has brought us a long way in a comparitively short space of time both on and off the pitch. Although still quite new in managerial terms he brings a type of experience with his background that is unusual in this division, and is a credit to the club. Yes, he tinkers - or rotates to use his language - but we are a way better team than in the MA and AS days, despite their popularity at the time. And yes, he's been savvy enough to build a great back room team around him, that's part of the role, but if he sticks around we could go a long way with UR in charge.
 

Rosler and management team

I like URs man management skills whenever a substitution takes place. He always puts an arm around the departing player and gives words of encouragement and/or reasons why sub took place.

Let's hope so. I'm always reminded of the Lee Marvin/John Cassavetes scene in 'Dirty Dozen' where a smiling Lee Marvin puts his arm around a smirking Cassavetes and whispers........... 'Listen you little sh*t............'

Only kidding Uwe!!!

It must be very difficult to get the right subs on and change to an effective alternative formation at any time. It would be surprising if every change worked well so I think Uwe deserves a lot of praise for the percentage of changes he gets right. He also knows what we don't i.e what the actual state of fitness is among his players-he has said that you play how you train and he is the only one who knows the detail and that will impact on his selection. IMO our expectations this season have soared perhaps unrealistically and we certainly have dropped points where perhaps on paper we shouldn't have done so but that IMO reflects the fact that the team is constantly learning and we are by no means a finished article. UWE has had his team in place for one season and we are where we are- a terrific achievement but still more to come. I think his statement that success in this division is all about margins is absolutely correct. If you analyse this season I would say we have made a disproportionate number of defensive errors which have cost us and missed a disproportionate number of chances. Had those margins been better, we would have been home and dry.

Thing is though he didn't have a lot of choice but to put Douglas on. Tom was obviously injured despite his protestations and I would think it was asking a lot of Kevin to play again less than 48 hours after his last game in such a competitive match after being out for so long.

Opinions and all that but it would have KOC all day for me, he's looked as fresh as a daisy since coming back whereas JD is crocked, put KOC on and push Dave onwards whilst KOC sits would have kept my "worrymeter" under control but we won so who cares now. Well actually we drew but we won.

The changing of the games v Preston and Scunny stick in my head as game changing subs and Uwe has got a lot of them right, I just found that one hard to swallow.

It is also clear that the loan players aren't just here because they have been sent here by their clubs (Tom A's reaction after the penalty miss being a case in point)

How many times the loan players mentioned in their early interviews how impressed they have been with the set up etc and for that Uwe, his team and the owner must take credit

BTW Don't remember Spencer at all, would someone mind reminding me please?

Something I like the most about Rosler this season and it's been something that people have criticised him for without realising has been his ability to keep the lads grounded, not put loads of pressure on them.

When we dropped points against Coventry and MK Dons it would have been easy to have a go a the team, to let them know how many points we dropped and how much harder it would have been to get the automatics. He's recognised we have a team that could have drowned in all the pressure but instead has decided not to tell them a few home truths at times to try keep their morale up. If you draw away at Coventry or lose to MK Dons you know yourself that you could have done better, having a manager come out and blast the team for it and worry about promotion could have had bad implications for us.

Whether you agree with what he's said in the past in interviews, he's managed to keep a great team spirit flowing and even with losses or draws where we shouldn't have done so, he's still kept promotion in our own hands until the final whistle of the season. If we'd been offered that at the beginning of the season I'm sure everyone would take it. I think in this respect he's done a lot better than a lot of us have thought and with hindsight maybe some more applause regardless of whether we beat Yeovil or not is in order.

Compare his style to Scott - light years apart.

What I also like about Uwe is that he's totally focused.
He won't allow happiness or disappointment to get in the way.
When we scored against Swindon he allowed himself no more than 5 seconds of joy the same way he allowed himself equally as little time to dwell on the disappointment of conceding (a quick frown turned in to motivational clapping).

I firmly believe Rosler is the reason why a 'typcial Brentford' capitulation against Swindon did not occur at the end.
 

Rosler and management team

Really respect the manner in which Uwe deals with, and talks about his players. I am sure there have been occasions this season when he wasn't
happy with a player or players performance in a match, but unlike a certain previous Manager, never gives a dressing down in public. That,
surely, has to be the mark of a great motivator, as well as Manager.
 

Rosler and management team

I saw belatedly the local news from Tuesday to see the Swindon reaction. Their Manager took time to praise Uwe and his staffs graciousness at the end of the game. Did anyone notice Uwe fighting through the crowd to commiserate with the Swindon bench - nice touch

"Tactically naive", "negative", "strange substitutions" etc etc etc.

Don't ya just love 'Monday Morning Managers'? :eek:

It was a lovely little touch but he has always been like that.
The thing I like about Rosler is that he talks a lot of sense. He doesn't embellish his post match comments with a load of rubbish or cliches.
The squad want to play for him, they feel proud to put on a Brentford shirt. Rosler seems to command this air of respect by doing nothing but being himself. The players just get him for who he is- passionate, a little bit mad but very astute and methodical.
It's a very difficult thing to do. Managers have tried for years to develop relationships like Rosler has with his team.

He has worked very well with Mark Warburton to source and acquire some fantastic players. Forrester, Forshaw, Dean et al are stars of the future and he has complimented that by getting some brilliant loan players in. They both have an eye for quality footballers, a bit Moneyball-esque. They seem to be picking up players that other managers have bypassed or fail to notice.

His support team are very good as well. Impressed with Kernaghan and Farrell, they seem to support Rosler very well and credit has to go to them for the way we have evolved as a team.

Simon Royce deserves a mention too. He has brought Simon Moore to whole different level. And we have gone from a side with no great keepers to call our own to one that has them in bundles.

NO argument, whether we've won, lost or drawn and if he's annoyed or otherwise he always conducts himself well, gets his point across and I find myself wanting to hear what he has to say. He's always engaging, intelligent, professional yet honest and to the point without ever overstepping the mark in terms of criticism of players or circumstances. In the heat of the moment on the pitch his passion is evident and he obviously isn't a robot as we often see him lose it on the line but before and afterwards he's a class act and very cool.
I hope I'm of the same opinion in 4 or 5 years times as we look forward watching him lead us out for the Premiership play off final

He made the subs to close out the game not to go on to win it, when they equalised we had Hayes on his own up top, CD wide and poor old JD on legs of jelly and we were in trouble. The red card turned the game so Swindon decided pens were their best option and we were unlucky not to win in extra time.

In hindsight BWR and keeping Tom on would have served us better.

Excellent post - although I might be being unfair but if 100% honest I'm not sure what Pater Farrell does apart from shuffle around and smile a lot, he does seem popular with everyone so nice work if you can get it..

But Toms shoulder had popped out so he couldn't continue - all very well saying pop it back in it'll be ok but his game is all action and 100% commitment and combat so no way he could continue. By the time he returned he was in a sling so if he'd stayed on can only see him doing more harm than good.

Nicely put, he is indeed a class act, to listen to him on Bees Player or the TV is a real pleasure, unlike some managers who have no idea how to conduct themselves in front of a camera, we are indeed very very lucky to have him and his team in charge, after over 60 years of support this is as near to perfection as I could have ever hoped for from my team, and in the unlikely hood we don't make it to the Championship this year, we will be there very very soon.

My only worry is that he is now becoming more and more noticed and gaining a higher profile for all to see, this would have been noted by directors of other clubs seeking to find the best for their club, if someone like Paolo Di Canio can be in charge of a Premiership club, how long can we hang on to Uwe?.
