Quote: bewareshadows "I think we read far too much into comments and press statements. Do people really want the coach to come on and lay into his players first game out?
He has to manage the squad for the season, not game to game. He has to go into training and get the best out of them. As shocking as that performance was, Brown can hardly call them a waste of space and expect to hold their respect for him for the next 3 years.
If my manager called me a waste of space no matter my performance I'd have issues with him from then on. It's a professional game and he has to act professionally. If it was 2 games from season end then he could call them what ever he felt like as he could get shut in 2 games.
Lets just see where we are come the Leeds game, before we all jump off the pier.'"
I agree. If he'd come out slating the players, what good would that do? What he really thinks will be said behind closed doors - as it should be.
