Agreed until the last couple of paragraphs.a lot of good sense posted on here ....
I do think PB has got it wrong . I think he thought I need some tough old dogs to bust my way out this nasty hell hole ... but his tough old dogs are getting done by hungry pups fighting for their opportunity to rise up.
I think you need a way of playing that allows higher skill levels to out perform the rough and tumble - and PBs whole focus has been on the rough and tumble..
Obviously playing SUFC and their "famous" manager is the big one for these teams - and the officials are generally terrible - so it is not easy BUT we can play.
I think PB has created a fragile mind set with his hysterics - turning on the players.
I hope he can throw his hands up and plead guilty - take some responsibility - have a total re-think and get a result Saturday.
Otherwise ... ?
What would Zoners say to a manager clearly praising poor performances and ignoring the obvious?
'You're talking out of you a***!" Comes to mind.
It looks as if the recruitment has been poor, and one can imagine him saying that at some stage.
But as for 'hungry pups' I'm right with you.
