The FA Cup Conundrum ????

[Jules88]

Did Daniel manage the process well at the start of the season ? , no he didn't , we were far too open .

The thing what everyone forgets is that Daniel got the gig because the owners wanted to see us play the high press attacking style , it's on the record via Conway .

Daniel did what he was hired to do and its possible he was a one trick pony .

No fecking wonder his head was baked , couldn't do reight for doing wrong .

He did what he was hired to do.....In League one.
He was hired to do a job....... League one.
He did it.
It’s the Policy..... Get a coach every year to do a Job for a year .....
Come here...Get us up with the policy....... Then. “oooooooh errr Mrs.”
Should have sacked him the minute we got Promoted. Lucky Lucky man.........
Let’s not bother with 10 games in future ....

Stendel got us promoted because he had the best players in the League who played as a team combined..... five fowk,from this forum could have got us up last season
NOT because he was the best manager/coach.......
Ffs, the top club had a stand in manager for half the season and STILL beat us, and 33k Mackems.

We went up Lucky...... we will ( Maybe ) stay up Lucky.

Morais would have Managed that lot to the Title....

It went tyts up for Stendel as soon as Pinnock , Lindsay and Davies left the club , these three to us were our Liverpool's Alisson , Van Dijk and Joe Matip .

I've said before on here that the high press expansive style only works with a rock solid defence that allows you to play a risky style of football .

The summer showed the huge flaws within the club with regards to syncing recruitment to suit the style of play the club themselves identified as a style of play they wished to see .

Stendel was the coach chosen to play the style its pretty obvious you need to recruit to make that style work .

There are two different entities working within the club where they should only be one , one where everyone involved comes together to achieve the same goals .

What you had with Stendel was one working against the other with the consequences laid bare for 4 months .

It's one thing to identify individual talent but it's quite another to create a competitive team , this isn't baseball .

Stendel saw it only too well and spoke out .

Until this club brings the HC and recruitment team together as one entity and working within the parameters set then transfer windows are going to continue to be problematic .

As in many areas of work life if things are going well the owners/Directors take the credit and reward themselves
, if things are going badly the people below the owners will be blamed and often sacked.
The average manager/coach tenure in the Championship is around one and a heyf years whereas examples of owners saying "You know what, we are to blame for this mess" are as rare as hen's teeth.

The damage was done in the summer and almost to a man everyone on here could see it .

Which isn't to say we are all a fountain of football knowledge is just that errrrrr we did exactly the same thing in 2017/18 and got relegated .

Making the same mistakes and expecting a different result is and always will be the definition of madness .

Except of course if you value the individual talent rather more than the league position and all roads do lead to that conclusion .

Unless you are fighting relegation or in with a realistic chance of promotion clubs should take the FACup seriously.
Any club who is safe from relegation in the Prem league owe it to its supporters to go for a Cup run. Either that, or football needs to have a serious think about the competition. Countries from all over the world seem'more smitten with the idea of the FA Cup than we do ourselves.

Footbal at Prem & Championship level mostly worship at the shrine of humans basic insinct & that's greed
It won't change
