I'm not trying to be difficult, but I genuinely don't see the evidence yet that Danny Röhl is the long-term answer. There are a couple of tidy things — we look more disciplined out of possession and Moore is getting more out of a central role — but that doesn't paper over the wider problems. Results can hide a lot. Watching the football tells another story.
Are results masking poor play?
We hear a lot about wins and points and that's fine, but football isn't just about getting over the line. If your build-up is stuttering, you can't play through teams or create real openings, that matters. Right now our progression into the final third looks too static. Too often opponents can sit in and invite us to knock it around on the edge of the box without causing panic.
What actually has improved?
To be fair, there are visible gains. We're neater without the ball, more compact, and Moore's shift centrally has given him more influence on the defensive side and made our shape clearer. Those things do help when you're defending leads or shutting games down. But tidy defending alone won't win the big fixtures if the attacking plan is thin.
Why JBA keeps getting the mention
When people point to JBA it's not just nostalgia — it's that they seem to have found a way to make the team flow, often with less money. Maybe he had to suffer a few failures to learn. Maybe Röhl will need the same growing pains. I'm open to that. I'm not demanding an immediate sacking, just asking for more evidence: clearer attacking ideas, better movement to create space, and a plan to actually break teams down rather than hope chances appear.
In short: I want to see the football improve, not just the scoreboard. If it clicks, great. For now, sceptical but hopeful.
