THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Thats a common misconception. The players often play how they are asked in order to not be dropped. If neilson prepares them to play a certain way thats what we are seeing. If its innefective its either the manager trying to ask square pegs to fit in round holes or the players are not motivated or versed enough to play well together.

Try having a shit, unorganised manager at work. Is it the fault of his employees if they arent an efficient team?

The blame lies at the managers door and somewhere there would be the right fit for a manager that could get the best out of these players, whether we can find him or not is a different story.

The Southend issue was bad passing. Basic skills. I doubt Neilson set them up to play that way.

Player's Cross the white line, unless the manager tells them before the game to play shit, then it's out of his hands 2 x 45 minutes, FACT!

And you dont think that has antything to do with players not being comfortable, confident and happy playing in a system set up by neilson? I refuse to believe this is a bad team. The squad is far better than the performances we are seeing and I believe theres something deeper to it.

Is the logical extension of this argument not that managers are unnecessary?

Perhaps we should go all hippy and form a completely egalitarian squad that picks and trains itself. That would be genuinely fascinating.

They train 5 days a week learning that system. I am sure they are big boys and they can ask our new captain to speak up.

They couldn't fucking pass on Tuesday. That is not just down to the tactics it is ability too.
