Getting very bad now but whose fault is this? I like Stendel, he's one of us, is this mess laid at his door? Should he stay, yes or no?
Let me explain, Stendel is the best manager I have seen at Oakwell for many a year, he needs to carry on. The poll was to demonstrate to the owners the strength of feeling amongst the fan base. And hopefully to cause them to ACT and give Daniel the players to do the job
No, he's been dealt a poor hand by the recruitment policy. Yes, because the high press leaving our frail defence woefully exposed is down to his choice of tactics. I'm not sure a change of manager and/or tactics will make the players any better so we may as well keep him.
I think he should be given the time to see if he can sort the mess out. However, although he has been hamstrung on the recruitment side I have not been impressed with how he has got the team organised. Even the most limited defenders should be able to be organised into a "unit", but players are being afforded the freedom of our penalty area time and time again, for which I do afford Stendel some blame as nothing seems to be done to address it..
Any manager could have got us up last season with the team we had. A manager is there to manage, we arent being at the moment yes the qaulitys not there in terms or the players weve got. But we continue with the high press game with holes all over the pitch we teams are passing through without mercy yet DS can’t seem to see where our problems lie.
Not his choice of tactics but the choice of players available...kindergarten, you CANNOT compete in this league with League 1 kids
