Quote ="Dita's Slot Meter"While I agree with some of this, I think it's been squad building and recruitment in general that's been the main issue.
Yes, we have had some dud marquee signings, but let's be honest, if you had offered any SL club Widdop and Williams at the point we signed them, most would have took them and certainly, in flashes, we have seen why they are our marquee players.
The problem comes though when you surround them with as much averageness as we presently have - I suspect if you stuck them in the squads that the Monaghan's & Matt King were brought over to play in, then they would be absolutely tearing it up. However, they are playing in the sort of mediocre squad that Allan Langer had to play with.
So, rather than the squad looking at the marquee signings and thinking why are they getting the big money, I think right now the marquee signings are looking at the squad and thinking how the hell am I supposed to perform with this lot around me?'"
This is just another distraction from the real problem we have this year. The new coach was signed and one of his supposed strengths was taking average players and turning them into very good ones, producing a winning team, all fighting for each other.
What happened? We now have a coach who wants to fight anyone who disagrees with him.
We now have a team with no spirit, no ideas, no obvious game plan. Why hasn't he simply developed a stripped back simple to understand method of playing to suit the various incompetents we seem to have according to a number of posters on here? And yet he still has supporters on here....
You couldn't make it up could you?
