Quote: Andy Gilder "These players have spent 20 years at amateur and professional level learning how to pass, catch and tackle.
They know the fundamentals, but for some reason they're not doing them out on the pitch under pressure. Even if you flog them in training, they're not going to miraculously improve at this stage in their careers.'"
Ok, different approach.
If under TS and Bluey (though I accept his last year was shaky) the players were world beaters (quite literally). What has happened?
I could accept that a few have, for whatever reason, not turned up much this season. What I find very difficult to understand is why the vast majority of the 17 have failed to turn up for most games.
To me that does not sound or feel like a problem with individual skills. It feels like a collective problem.
Then you need to look at the common denominator. In this case its the coach.
