You're right, it is his job. It's also his job to ultimately oversee the fitness level of the players. I haven't a clue what he's doing in this respect, but the players to a man look totally unfit and out of condition.

Well he's twice said that the players are really happy with him so I can only assume he has them doing fuck all in training

Very valid re:Butcher, so basically I agree it's down to shit mangers. And as for the first line above, I cannot work out why the "players" are happy with him because his team direction gets them criticised by our fans as we repeatedly concede & don't win so basically training must be very easy with little hard physical work or criticism?

I said when the second half started to me dad that it could be a game of two halves.

And bloody hell it was but how can we have largely been in control first half then backs to the wall second half?

As soon as they scored their second there was only going to be two outcomes - them winning or the draw

The wind seemed to play a big part, that's why I thought it might well be.

The players won't give a fuck about criticism they may get in person for a few mins a week, if they have a piss easy time of it all week

strangely I used "piss" easy when I first typed my response but changed it because I thought maybe use of "piss" was detrimental but seeing as you also thought piss was relevant to explain the training I'll go with that!

apparently so, which takes the shine off scoring three goals

Over recent seasons when we have had a lead we retreat and the players turn to jelly fish, it was inevitable the draw. Instead of going on and burying them I do not know if it is a management directive or they die of chickenshititis but it groundhog day all over.

That's what we're in unfortunately with SG. I'm inclined to think it's management directive with a portion of the others included

What if it’s down to poor errors by the players on the pitch, and not something he’s done?

Most people are first to blame the manager. Now, not being at the game, nor listening to it due to work commitments, i can't really comment on how we played, but surely the players should shoulder some blame

Especially the defence. As someone mentioned on another thread the front four let down by the back seven.

The players should carry some of he blame for what they provide (or don't) while on the pitch. It's either the "manager" that selects his preferred lay-out to perform, or what he's put out doesn't. But both are not coming up to standard
