As a management team you tell the players how you want them to play - hopefully you share your vision and take them with you. If they do not do what you ask of them, you sit them all down and go through each and every deviation they made during the game from that plan as a team.
You are consistent in that message and you start again for the next game....it is drilled into them, simple. I do not mean to be demeaning to footballers here, but that is pretty straightforward is it not? If there are still problems then extra training to make sure they have no reason to misunderstand what is being asked of them.
Why then have we seen no real change in the last 10 games say......?
Some will say the players are crap, or stupid or not good enough - the manager manages the resources at his disposal to the best of his ability and to make the strongest team possible, and if they are easy to beat, then they are set up to be difficult to beat.
So here is the real problem for me - Pat Fenlon has not made much of an impact, the players he has brought in have been generally okay at best and woeful at worst.
How do I have any confidence that the players he brings in (assuming he continues in post) will be any better than the players he has brought in before.....and more importantly that he can share his vision with them (whatever that is) and get them playing the way he wants? Because lets be frank the results he has had are woeful.
I wish I had the answers and more importantly the confidence that he is still the man to take us forward - interested in everyone's view. I was there on Saturday and I am still embarrassed by what we as a team were like - the players and the fans who fought amongst ourselves. Very sad day to be a Hibby.....
