We cannot trust, even for a second, the treatment of any player mostly handled by Martin or Williams. |
Totally agree
If you look at Steve Cooper he had his good points he did try and develop some youngsters obviously Guehi he knew and persevered with but he also assisted the likes of Connors Roberts and Fulton. The latter needed to get his marking closer to the opposition players to stop him diving in giving away stupid free kicks, he did improve that part of his game but let the occasion of the play off final get the better of him with the stupid sending off, now Fulton is half the player he was under Cooper.
Cooper was not use to club football as a manager and you initially could set your watch for his substitutions and did get a bit stuck persisting with things that kind of half worked but maybe with better players would have worked better.
You would expect a good manager/coach to help players with their weaknesses while preserving their good points and even the coaches need to learn and gain from their mistakes.
Players have their abilities and need to be encouraged to improve them but being asked to play to a standard much higher than their experience allows them can be differcult but punishing them by total exclusion from playing at a higher standard leads to no growth for a younger player..
Injuries don't help with players development but being in a stable team does, one where each player knows their role and is capable of doing it. A manager making small changes to try and improve things is sensible but completely changing a style of play seems to smack of desperation, have we seen that with, Duff, Martin and Williams?
