Firstly let me say l am not having a dig at him but other than kicking the ball into the air for Richard Mathers to catch, what exactly does James Webster do at our club? Could somebody explain please.

Why do you ask, do you feel you should have a say in how the club is managed? It's getting beyond a joke when fans start slagging off back room staff!

I think fans, who have paid good money for season tickets or match day tickets, have a right to slag off the coaching staff when they don't seem to be doing a goddamn thing to arrest the poor form. What was a joke was Sunday's performance, and I don't think many fans can take another joke like that.

The coaching staff may not be on the pitch but not one of them seems to be motivating the players.

We'll maybe you should get the job as motivational coach, that is if slagging off minor staff is motivational. The players and the coach are in the firing line for on field displays, MC is where ultimately the buck stops but the others just do the jobs they are told to do. I know Sunday hurt, but stop lashing out blindly!

Tell you what is beyond a joke is folk criticising people who unhappy with the teams performance asked a perfectly reasonable question about someone involved in the preperation of our players you say a minor role I say as assistant coach he's a major one and as such is open to criticisum

Have to say, I was asking the question re Webster myself, what does he bring to the party and has he been Agars No2 for too long. Does he challenge Agar on anything, does he have his own mind and ideas or is he so integrated in the Agar system that you cant tell where he ends and Agar starts.

Would a new No2 freshen up the approach and bring in some new ideas

I don't know what Websters input is but a lot of Cas players have said publicly that Danny Orr has been a big factor in this seasons good results so maybe a good number 2 is equally as important as the head coach.

I also thought it a perfectly reasonable question. Maybe he is a "yes man" to Agar. Some managers/coaches love having guys like that around telling them how good they are, massaging his ego from time to time. He's not directly in the firing line, no worries. Just keep his head down and collect his pay every month.

I am also a Huddersfield Town supporter and ex manager Lee Clark had his yes man in Terry McDermott who has spent years being nothing more than a yes man. Huddersfield fans used to ask the same question of him too, apart from going for the sandwiches after training, what the hell does he do?

Most assistants come as a package with the coach therefore if he fails they both fail. I doubt it is in the interest of either to see the team fail because their chances of another SL post would be damaged.
I think you have covered everybody from sacking the coaches and releasing some of the players who some feel are not committed to the cause. We have even progressed to speculate what a new coaching team could provide all because we lost two games. The number of away games we have coming up suggests we will lose more so I expect many more threads covering basically the same topic even if they relate to different parts of the club.
I get it some of you don't like Agar and never will. I never liked Henderson and could not understand his selection every week however I realised that the coach felt he added to the team and after all I would not be losing my job if he got it wrong.
I would wait and see how we progress rather than these knee jerk reactions because we still hold our SL survival in our own hands.

The question itself is not a problem and is quite hard to answer because we don't see him doing his job like the more high profile roles, but it does make me laugh that no one knows what he does but are now discussing getting rid.

I imagine he is working as a team with Agar to deliver game plan, organise training, deal with individual player needs.

When the results were good for Wakefield a lot of people said what a good assistant Paul Broadbent was. Once the results went tits-up Broadbent got the same stick as Kear.

If as you suggest pop tart he's working as a team with agar might I suggest the team isn't working. And you know scarlet folk arnt getting upset because weve lost two games its the way they were lost with a gutless feeble performance ,and another thing I'll suggest is anyone who tries to defend that as got the patience of jobe

My view is based in Websters playing career and from it, I can only assume that he brings the attacking piece to our game....and when we havnt been dropping the ball, making errors and missing tackles we've looked fairly decent in attack. Being a half back, Id imagine his defensive expertise are lacking a bit...

im not too concerned about Webster anyway...Im concerned about us making errors, missing tackles and our discipline.....and you tend to find those improve with fitness, and against Leeds its was evident to me that theyre not fit! if youre fit, you concentrate more and youre more focused, which has a direct effect on performance in the aforementioned areas.

Next weekend could be a defining weekend for ALL THREE coaches  i m o ? Agar/Webster can they out coach with their  team selection and tactics  Powel/Orr . Dickens ? as he progressed or not the 19s, after all last year’s 16s were far better than CAS 16s
