| Quote Robbo4="Robbo4"Some very interesting quotes on this thread (first started when Agar was appointed). Above was my take on the situation.'"
That was quick work.
The first few pages in particular raise a few chuckles now. Here was my take...
Quote Robbo4="Kosh"I'm underwhelmed.
But he'll have my complete support like every other coach we've had.'"
I think I've moved on from underwhelmed now.

| How prescient was this...
Quote Kosh="Kosh"I'd love us to start playing an expansive and exciting style of RL. In fact I think we need to or crowds could drop. I'm not convinced that Agar will necessarily do that - he's spent the last four years working with coaches that didn't, after all - and I'm also not convinced that we have the players to carry it off anyway.'"
Just off to pat myself on the back.

| Quote carl_spackler="carl_spackler"I expected it, but if I'm honest I'm a bit underwhelmed (now there's a rarity
).
I also think it's a bit of an unfair signal to Peter Sharp. The club took the wait and see approach with him to see if he earnt a new deal, yet it seems they can decide on Agar after only 1 game.
I'm slightly concerned about our recruitment clout (to put it mildly).'"
Well at least the last point has been a bit of a pleasant surprise.

| Quote kim-or-lee="kim-or-lee"Seems a bit of a strange appointment given the timing of it etc. Nevertheless we've not had a British coach for a while so it'll be interesting to see how he goes and in what direction he takes the team. Good luck Richard'"
Turns out it wasn't that interesting to see what direction he takes the team

| Nothing from me when this topic originally surfaced. I think it must have been a case of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I have certainly moved on from that philosophy if the conversation I had with my mother after yesterdays game is anything to go by.

| I think it has gone beyond blaming Agar . It is the playing squad who are letting the Club down.

With which whom lays the responsibility?
I hate the "it's the players' fault" type comments. If there is a problem with a child, it's the fault of the parents for not bringing them up right. Same with the coach. Difference is, a coach can pick and choose his players.

Whilst I agree that the coach should be accountable for the performance of his players, the players do have to accept responsibility for their missed tackles, poorly executed kicking/passing etc. They are not playing well and while that may be down in large part to poor coaching, it must in some part be their own fault too.
