Quote ="Leaguefan"So they have no pride in their performance and what they can do and have to rely on being told what to do all the time?

Based on this and other threads I can only come to one conclusion.
If you team loses it is down to the coach and/or the match officials but never ever the players.
I must have been wrong in thinking that the players were the ones who counted. scored all the points did/did not make the tackle, knocked on/didn't knock on, caaught the ball/missed the ball and all along it was the coach and/or match officials who didi it

Ok, its your lucky day, you are going to learn a second thing today.
TACTICS
A coach has the responsibility to establish a game plan at the outset of a game and modify it according to the way the game is going. In the case of McDermott that is an alien concept. There are numberous examples in yesterdays game but I will just get depressed if I relive them
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
A coach should be responsible for ensuring that players continue to develop - yes ? I ask you this, why has the development of LMS, Melling, Clubb (all rep players), Randall gone into reverse gear. They are a shadow of the players at the start of 2009. We seem content to trot out the same line about all the London youngsters coming through, and dont get me wrong that a great thing, but we are neglecting our senior players. Their confidence looks shot and this is totally down to the coach. I suggest he has lost the dressing room.
