An element of coaching will always come into it though because they will have a specific way that they want the team to play at certain parts of the game and in certain circumstances.'"
Oh yeah definitely, but I don't think we can use the above as an excuse to mask over some poor stats from Powell (not that you are btw) I'll admit that I like the guy, but he is somewhat one dimensional. He might be told to do certain things in certain situations, but over the course of a full season (which is what these figures are from) he's got to be showing more of a running game imo.
The second you become a one dimensional player, then teams shut you down. In Powell's case, his lack of either a running game or the inclination of when to run means there's more pressure on Smith and Cust. Opposition defenders know he's going to pass it and if on the very, very rare occasion he runs - then it ain't much of a threat to worry about it.
