I take some of your points and of course the players must take a lot of the blame, but as well as not scoring we continue to concede stupid goals and have the mentality of a jellyfish. Probably the worse thing for us is taking the lead, we just then fall apart.
So what part of that is the manager responsible for if not attack, defence or mentality?
Also I get the arguement about not changing and a manager needs time to learn and grow but had anyone seen any evidence that he is learning, I think he is getting worse.
Finally I think the problems are higher up but realistically we can't change that or the players so the only realistic change is the manager.
