Henning Berg not concerned by slow start ahead of Bolton test

POSITIVE Berg
BOSS Henning Berg is not concerned about the start he has made as Rovers boss, despite his side having picked up just five points from five matches heading into tonight’s derby clash with Bolton.
Since the Norwegian was appointed Rovers have won just one match and are still searching for their first clean sheet.
But the Rovers chief is confident his side are close to turning the corner and believes a win over Bolton at Ewood Park tonight, combined with getting injured players back to full fitness, will help to raise spirits at the club.
“I would have been more concerned if the performances had not been good,” said Berg of his five game start to management which has yet to yield a home victory.
“I think we have made improvements during my reign in terms of our play. The first game against Palace was not the way we would like it to be, both in terms of performance and result. Huddersfield away and Birmingham we were playing well without winning games.
“Of course we are looking to improve in the final third and make sure we are winning games that we are dominating football wise. Against Peterborough we did that. The quality in the final third was to a standard and a level to win the game.
“Millwall was a little bit like the Huddersfield game. I think in the second half we were doing quite well without having the quality in the final third to win the game. The biggest difference on that day

For what it's worth two up front at home is a crowd pleaser,
Still no clean sheets, enough time to see our pension robber is not doing his job properly!

I think the agreement was that Berg got the managers job was because he told Singh he did not need any time he could get them winning right away,and promotion first up .
Hendry , some advice , stay away from the media ,let the manager do that, and concentrate on the job your getting paid for, because so far since Steve Kean hired you ,your record has been abysmal.

Reality is people... We are playing well! Enjoy it! Win, lose or draw with Burnley on Sunday, records are broken! The filth that is Burnley have beat Man U$hited...
All I hope is that the record carries on so we can keep the banter up with the full upper hand on our taunts, if not, still 34 years, which not one dingle bell can argue!!

We were told that many big names with loads of experience were in for the Rovers vacancy but in the end Messrs Shaw Agnew Singh Venkeys appointed Bergh with little Management Experience - he cost us nothing so some investment in good backroom people would'nt go amiss.
Good luck Henning your going to need it!!

Also - Berg doesn't have his own staff to bring-in so why get rid of someone who is key to the club just to satisfy a few moaners....as for Hendry, well that is also down to Berg now. I don't think HB would keep someone who was not contributing so we will have to wait and see on that one....maybe Berg will be recruiting some staff in the close season when the dust has settled on everything.

I can't help thinking it was a poor move by him, to leave palace for the breezeblock. Look at palace go.
