It's about the most lazy criticism I can think of. Another is "square pegs in round holes". I think, towards the end of their reign, that has been thrown at every manager I can remember us having. I remember when Mick came everyone was amazingly happy about how he played everyone in the right position! Fast forward a few years and it's back to the same. | |

I'm thinking that "No Plan B" should be added to that list. | |

Not the fans fault if the manager changes tact is it. When mick first came in. He was refreshing. Carlos isn a RB etc We ended up with Chambers RB. Sears on flanks etc | |

Or he just didn't think Carlos made a good RB when another manager did. Sears has been played on the flank by multiple managers. You can apply it to every manager we've had. I bet if the search went back far enough you can find people complaining that Burley was playing people in the wrong position. | |

Carlos was equally good as an overlapping full back and as a right mid cum winger at Luton. He was younger then, mind. Why on earth are we discussing Carlos Edwards? | | | |

Chambers had played right back and Sears had played wide at their previous clubs too. | |

Tactics or tack? | | | |
‘His attitude to the fans was pathetic’ ‘plays his favourites’ on 08:57 - May 29 with 4030 views | blueislander | Over the past few hours I think we have seen every possible negative aspect of Hurst's appointment mentioned on here. I assume that an awful lot of people are hoping that his appointment does not go through? | | | |

'Favourites' or alternatively, who the manager in question believes are his best and/or most reliable players. | | | |

MM felt he was the best he had to do the job he wanted him to do. Had Hyam been fit I'm sure he would have started ahead of him for most of that season. | | | |
