...this is my take on yet another predictable Town display..... I don't care how many down votes I get. This is my view on things.
81st min, McKenna takes Townsend off for Davis. 3 mins later Wolves score their equaliser from the left babk side of defence....8 mins later they get the winner, down the left back side of defence. Bloody clueless.
0n 58 mins Delap's game was done. He wasn't chasing down, wasn't keeping the ball, was no threat. He needed support ..... but once again, like he does week after week, McKenna leaves it until the 80 + mins before he brings on new forwards. WHY ????????? , but he doesnt CHANGE anything. No tactical change, just a swap of tired legs for fresh legs.
By the time he makes his usual "swap" of the forwards, the game is done.
Half time: Town took ages to re-appear. I thought, here we go, were going to go at thrm. Nope, not a bit of it. Wolves manager had tweaked his team's tactics, and were makinv inrodes and starting to actually cause us problems. Its 20 mins before McKenna reacts to this. He brings on Taylor, who chases down Wolves defenders.
Where was Hirst?, Where was Chaplin. Why weren't they brought on, on 60 mins. WTF is McKenna expecting our players to do in 10mins? They're mentally and physically cold to the game.
Mckenna is displaying week after week and tactical inability. He's still doing the shame thing he fud in league one and Championship, but instead of doing it on 70mins, he's doing it at least ten mins later in the game. WHATS THE POINT??
He never changes his approach. Never plays our teo strikers together when we clearly by 60mins have no choice but to go for it.
I am SO frustrated with McKennas approach. He doesn't, " read" the game DURING the game. As one caller said on Suffolk radio. The game is over coached, ( and he's right).
There's no spontaneity ON the pitch, by the players in RESPONSE to how the opposition change their game. In fact t Town are so over coached, I doubt these players have the ability to play off the cuff despite their supposed individual flair.
We epitomise everything that is wrong in the PL. It's plastic football, spineless, gutless, and lacking in true individuality know how or true inspiration or individual ability to have a go at anything. It's like watching paint dry, it's predictable.
I suspect We all know virtually every pass in order, in our build up play. We're that automatic and practised in our clockwork style. If opponents change their approach we are incapable of reacting to it because....." mckennas says it must be done this way, and in this order".
The season can't end soon enough for me. [Post edited 5 Apr 18:52]

Townsend was still on when we conceded the equaliser and from what the commentary team were saying it looked like he picked up an injury so had to come off. |  | | |

I don't think anyone will argue with you about subs. Always too late. |  | | |

They reckoned his hamstring had gone so it wasn't tactic
The defending from Davis for their winner was very green though, I do agree
Our second half of the season has been really poor, much of that is McKenna's fault
I just hope we have a solid plan for the Championship and can improve the areas that need addressing in the summer |  |

He damned if he does make changes and he’s damned if he doesn’t. Imagine making the changes today but in the 65th minute, but we end up with the same result, people would be moaning why did he do it.
Football is an easy game from the stands, and hindsight is not only clearer than perception-in-the-moment but also unfair to those who actually lived through the moment [Post edited 5 Apr 19:07]

What club do you manage? I assume its a good one as you seem to know more than our entire coaching staff? | | | |

I’ll have to admit this for me was one of most frustrating games in terms of McKenna and non action from the bench. We were getting relentlessly pinned. The one earlier sub he did make was a bit baffling, Jack Clarke was good at Bournemouth when we were 1-0, turning winning free kicks etc. The entire stadium could see a Wolves goal coming, a draw done us no good.
He does seem to have a game plan and stick to it in terms of subs sometimes. Even if what is playing out in front of him merits more immediate action.
Obviously I’m very much hoping he stays though, best manager in my life time |  | | |

Assume you don't have an opinion on anything? What the OP said was fair, balanced and correct. I love McKenna but he has been found wanting this season. Clearly. |  | | |

Everyone’s allowed an opinion on the game they just watched, no one is saying they know more about the game than KM, that’s just stupid obviously. [Post edited 5 Apr 19:29]

It’s almost like he’s still learning, but against teams with more resources and better squads.
Surely no-one can be surprised? | | | |

Oops, fat fingered an uppy.
Interesting point of view, but a tad OTT. |  |

Obviously he's still learning and is still one of the brightest young managers in the game. I never said otherwise. | | | |

Oh, I never said you did, and wasn’t meant as a slight on your comment, merely to add more context to why KM has struggled in my opinion. I’ve been frustrated with him more than once this season but would rather have him at the helm than anyone else currently. | | | |

It’s been mentioned, Wolves were getting stronger and stronger in the second half and the writing was on the wall.
I only get to see the town on the box but nearly every game it’s apparent that the opposing team are bigger, faster and seem to have more about them
There is a huge gulf between Championship players and PL players.
Our Manager can only pick the players he has at his disposal.
I do however share the view that for some reason he has not been prepared to make substitutions earlier or indeed take a gamble when we needs a change in tactics. | | | |

Has he been found wanting or does everyone else just have much better players than him ? |  |

I think KM , has to shoulder some blame , but in this league , the claim that most teams have better players and depth will always ring true.
That will not apply next season. So there simply has to be some vast improvements. |  | | |

Bit of both. The squad lacks depth and quality but McKenna's stubborness has not helped this season. | |

To me it's more than stubbornness, it's being one dimensional. |  |

Just for correctness, Townsend was on when they equalised and if you were watching, it was Townsend who gestured to the bench he was injured and had to come off. |  | | |

The equaliser didnt come from the left back side of defence. Came down out right side then into the middle, also Townsend was still on. |  |
