I read Simon Jordans a while back, he says is biggest regrets/mistakes were appointing the wrong managers.
Appointing Dean Holden was so so wrong on two levels
1 First time the fans had any hope for a considerable time and in the fans eyes was giving up on any chance of the play offs, hence the fans being dissilousioned being understandable.
2 No management experience, his appointment was made on the previous thinking of giving managers a chance who have had no experience.
Dean Holden was a failure as manager and has now been assistant to both DK & DK with what results, there is a recurring theme.
Whenever you are referred to as a nice guy their is a problem which means you are not good at your job you have no respect, was Clough & Ferguson refered to as nice guys?
Now dealing with DD - he is doing worse than DK because he had a period before being appointed to evaluate & formulate a plan going forward.
Key skills for a manager does DD do the following well?
Motivate / man management skills?
Tactician?
Ability to adapt in a match situation, in other words see a weakness in another team & act accordingly or we are getting overun in a particular part of the pitch & acting swiftly before we have conceded a goal?
Formation is not the issue for me it is the instructions you give the players within the formation, football games are won with the movement of the ball, are the players being restricted to take chances thus playing with fear & lack of motivation?
Poor start to games is inexcusable that is a total lack of preperation.
An appalling home record plus bad communication from the club in terms having a go at fans repeatedly, stand delay/ false deadlines, ched evans, management appointments etc etc so it is understandable that the club has now created a cocktail of negativity.and should be apologising to fans and not having a go at them.;
