To be fair thought he was unlucky the other night could have had a couple, you could hear DC slagging him off though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 1 minute ago, A12owl said: As manager the idea surely is to look at the players you have at your disposal with the positional strengths they have and create a tactic to suit. It has seemed that our manager has a favourite tactic and expects players to fit. Round pegs etc seems to have been our downfall for the last few managers. Bruce excepted I think. Not sure what our best tactic would be with the players we have. I will have to input our current encumbents into my FM game and see what I come up with. Watch this space. I detest players playing out of position It's soooooo stupid and never ever works Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a short while he thought he knew it all and took over everything himself. Surely even the DC supporters must see he needs people around him that KNOW how to run things. Correct. I don’t generally talk about personal stuff on here but I’ve run a very successful business which I sold. The key to that wasn’t just me it was the people that worked with/for me. My best attribute...wasn’t what I knew, it was acknowledging what I didn’t know and being humble enough to find people that could fill my knowledge gaps. DC is vain, mildly narcissistic even. It’s been his undoing and ours by association. Edited November 7, 2020 by Morepork 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigblueowl Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Depends on the intelligence of the players! Do they understand the message and their role within it? Is the message clear? Do managers over complicate it these days? Of course tactics can be changed to nullify the opponent but that will then be called 'negative tactics' by most! I used to manage 10 sales people.. Some days they'd absolutely smash it out the park other days they were just not at it! Was it my fault? Maybe it was! What I do know is they knew their roles and the targets required but couldn't perform day in day out even with my guidance, training, support and enthusiasm! My point is a manager you can only do so much! He has to let the team take responsibility once over the line! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dc said the same. I can't remember seeing anyone disagreeing with fans stating that opinion. So are you saying that the players are performing as well as they can just a what if , ,,,,, Can the players perform any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Soul Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I actually agree with DC .. to a point . If a manager creates a culture of discipline, develops each individual, drives focussed training sessions, motivates the players and is crystal clear with his match day instruction, he should expect the players to perform well consistently. So what’s missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
