Re: Manager v Player being to blame.
It seems simplistic to me to dismiss any criticism against the manager because he's not on the pitch playing. He picks the team, he picks the tactics. He should be responding to what he sees, if the players aren't following his instructions why is he leaving them on the pitch?
If you have a game in which someone keeps making the same mistake, isn't it your job as a coach to, well, coach those errors out of the player? So shouldn't there be an improvement? If there is no improvement, why keep picking them?
If you don't have the players that can do the job you want, why aren't you taking a different approach? Why are telling the press you're happy with what you've got and you don't need to sign anyone?
But there is still the issue that he can only do so much during the game. Even if he takes players off, he can only do that with three of them. He's stuck with the rest who may have been fine during training, and just not been able to do it in match day.
I think one win in 14 would suggest that the coach hasn't been doing enough to coach the team into a better performance, that the club hasn't done enough to provide him with the players to do a better job, and the players haven't stepped up and taken enough of any coaching on board.
It's a complex web of responsibility.
Not according to warren on the radio an ex pro it’s not . Asked to explain potters post match comments disagreed with everything he said
