Quote ="Gotcha"I could pick out quite a few woeful individual performances last night personally, but rather than having scapegoats from the players, it is about time we started blaming the coach.
He is struggling to get the best out of players other than big names. Without his first choice he looks lost.
His selections last night were poor. Not with hindsight, it was commented on before hand. And it came home to bite him on the bum.
I said on another thread, I do hope that young McShane's got good support around him, because his treatment last night was shocking. The lad could have made a difference in that game, as proven when he actually got on the field, giving us some impetus. But to be taken off 10 minutes later was just ridiculous. The lad looked so peed off, and rightly so.
There was comments in the week about juniors getting peed off with our set up and leaving. I do hope they are just rumours. But from last night if I was McShane I would bite off my nose to spite my face. Also as I commented yesterday, if I was a junior winger in that set up I would be mightly peed at those selections last night.
Therefore I am going to reserve my critisism for the coach, who needs to step up to the plate and start doing his job. And I don't accept injuries as an excuse for last nights selections.
And please see the difference between this and a get rid of the coach thread, that is not what I am saying.'"
Would you be posting this if we had won?
Somehow I doubt it. When you have an injury ravaged team low on confidence....people are gonna play poorly.
I blame injuries, not the coach.
