I will take brickbats for this, but here goes anyway,
I am struggling to see where this guy has influenced our performances.
His preferred 3-5-2 had to be canned as it wasn't working,
For me, that showed a degree of pragmatism, a positive characteristic IMO
Our kids / squad players are not progressing,
I believe most of our older squad players were introduced to provide low cost experienced support.
I would argue that our younger squad players are progressing, but are not yet ready for a regular place,
I would also argue that it's the job of the DoF to oversee the development of existing talent. The job of the Head Coach & his team is to prepare the squad for match days
Some of the glaring issues are not being addressed (Gayle out wide, midfield structure). I would accept that recruitment have a role to play in bringing talent in, but one of this guys jobs is developing the talent we already have, I see nothing to show that this is being achieved.
I generally take the view that our first team coaches are paid vast amounts of money
to make the tactical decisions they do. I might not necessarily agree with them, but it's probably because I don't understand the logic. So I don't agree that the issues are necessarily glaring.
Harvey Barnes couldn't praise our coaching staff enough, don't forget he came to us as a left sided wide player, we developed him into a No 10,
As things stand we're third in the league with top two playing each other in the next couple of weeks. We're also playing top teams in February giving us a chance to progress into the top two.
If I were paying the Coaches wages, think I'd be pretty happy at the moment
