The difference between competent coaches and others 14:11 - Feb 25 with 538 views

A competent coach comes to a football club and looks at the players he has inherited. For a while Lambert did that with us. We still lost games, of course.
Then bit by bit he tinkered - we went from a pretty obvious 442 to a slightly less obvious diamond. Then we got all confused and then wow we decided we'd be 532. But we did that without any proper wing backs, no leftsided player capable of being in a back three and a captain who was never the dominant centre back he is now being asked to be.
We play two up front - but one is a crock, the other is now a crock and the third is all pace and no finesse; and the fourth is coming back from a career threatening injury.
So what are we to do - play 442 with no disciplined wide midfield players; play 532 with no fit wing backs. Not sure I know.
But then that's the difference between a competent coach and others. The others all know best.
