Simon Davey shirks all responsibility and puts it all down to the players

"We were punished last weekend for two lapses in concentration. We have to iron those out and stop making silly mistakes. It is hard to stop because it has not been down to tactics or systems rather a personal error."

Come on Simon, stand up and be counted man.

 

I suppose that...

he forgets that his three up front trick rarely works and the fact that his competitive squad is so thin we are playing immobile midgets in the centre of midfield and poor right backs as left backs, if not in midfield.

It's not me Pat it's them Barsteward players. None of em like me.

 

No surprise there then

 

And that Adolf Hitler was a nice man ........

....... it was all those nasty germans who 'worked for him' to blame for all those killings, they kept pulling the bloody trigger

Can't get my breath

 

I suppose he ought to have said

"its all my fault. I lowered the crossbar and told the defenders to mark like schoolboys"

Then I suppose all would have been well

 

So his tactics and systems are working well then? nt

 

Or

He could have stood up as the leader he's supposed to be, taken responsibility and vowed that he'll do everything in his power to make things right.

At the moment we've got the manager blaming the players and the players putting it all down to bad luck. If everyone continues with that attitude we are going to keep losing. It's time for everyone to take responsibility, admit that it hasn't been good enough and strive to make things better.

 

Correct - or at least say ..................

.......... I need to get this sorted cos it's my head on the chopping block, not the heads of the players who are making the errors!

 

As I said before. He's a moron.

Is it OK for SD to insult his players but I can't make certain suggestions about his mental capacity.

I've had enough of the bloke. What a w4nker. Spineless, inept fool.

 

Davey was 100% right on this one.</p>

Tactics chosen by a manger do not affect a players ability to pass the ball or make a tackle.

I dont think there's owt wrong with what he said though

certainly no evidence of shirking responsibility.

There's no doubt who's responsibility it is to get the team winning.

 

i don't think the resting place of our Lord Jesus Christ when He was born should be made accountable for barnsley's poor start to the season.

 

So you're blaming the players?

Do you blame Bobby for being played out of position too? Do you blame Darren Moore for now being a liability? Do you blame Oddjob for being ****? Do you blame Mostto for never being given a chance? Do you blame Bobby (again) for us not having a proper left back?

I could go on. It's never the manager's fault is it. I bet you boo the players.

 

RE: I dont think there's owt wrong with what he said though

The fact is that whatever tactics he's employing don't work. We don't score goals and we concede a lot. We haven't won a game yet.

So we stop making individual errors at the back but how are we going to start scoring goals at the other end Simon? Or is that the fault of the strikers?

It's never his fault, its always bad luck, the referee, injuries or he now blames his players for mistakes.

 

What I'm saying is that a player doesn't lose his ability to play football just because the manager asks them to play a particular way.

I played at IF, CF, RW, MF, LB and was most successful at RB.
My ability as a player didn't change with the position I played in.

 

Of course it did

You even said yourself you were more succesful at right back.</p>

Every player in the world has different attributes that make them better at playing certain positions. If the game was just about passing to a staionary player then yes you could play the same position without any detriment but to say you can play at 100% capability in all position is quite frankly bordering on the bonkers.</p>

 

No he doesn't lose his ability, but he might be useless at a certain position. let's see Beckham as a left back. He's still be great at deadball situations but if a pacy winger went on the outside he'd be bolloxed.

 

More successful yes. But my ability as a player didn't change. Well not much.

I didn't pass the ball any better, my shooting didn't improve, nor my tackling ability.
I scored more from RB than I did as a CF. But full backs in the post Ramsey era got forward more. Over lapping and all that. Liverpool FBs use to reach double figures in thoughs days.

I was better at RB but I wasn't a better football player.

 

WHAT???
