The major give away it’s a coaching problem are the issues are getting worse, the only shining lights are those players yet to be infected, the coaches are having zero positive effect on any player, tactic, pattern of play, system or fitness.
We are still playing walking football, the number of times we played so slowly out the back PNE had ten behind the ball at all times.
Manning pulled off a cross that was a decent assist against Wrexham but has totally forgotten he got behind and turned their defence, that’s why it was a successful cross. He’s been hoofing the ball for goal kicks ever since.
We still have about 8 players who are picked regularly who are not good enough at this level, those talented players we sold in the last 2/3 seasons were carrying these, now they are gone, nobody left to do the lifting.
