Quote: RoughyedWatcher "Steve Deakin is a very astute coach, who is meticulous in his planning. IMO his downfalls lie with man management and over engineered game plans.
A good coach none the less.
He took over at Oldham during a crisis where we went the full season losing every game. As the club came through the crisis he then coached the club to Grand Finals on the bounce failing at the last hurdle.
Why has Dave Clarke been sacked?'"
Barrow have been performing very much below bar for a few months now. Have been scraping results against teams we would have dismantled earlier on in the season. I think he is lacking fresh ideas and tactics- he lacks experience.
