Quote: CW8 "I think there is a real danger that Powell could alienate the whole squad including the players who are signed up for next season. Nobody seems to be playing for him, team selections are baffling, ratchford has been great for us but never really as an organising halfback. A centre in the halves instead of an academy graduate whose future hinges on getting enough game time to develop. More alarm bells every week
I still back Powell but if the players who are staying don't then his position is surelt untenable. He needs to shake up the coaching staff, we need a new defence coach and atta k coach because at the minute both are pretty much hopeless.'"
I'm very concerned as our head coach, Powell should personally have got involved during training to ensure the defensive and attacking structures translate onto the pitch on match day. If he has, then he's not the man for the job, if he hasn't, then that's the final card he is able to play, and why hasn't he played it earlier.
