For a manager that is meant to have a reputation is that he seems to be outthought and outmaneuvered tactically in nearly every game. Tactically has shown zilch in his time at ITFC
Nearly ever week we get done 2nd half, all through his reign our 2nd half performances have on the whole been worse than the 1st half. That's quite telling for me. |  |

Did he do his usual of leaving the team in the dressing room at ht and coming out on his own before the 2nd half? |  |

Shall I be the first to say Leam Richardson, who took a side which were drawing 0-0 at half time and won 2-0 today? |  |

Balls, the players out there today should have shown a lot more commitment than they did. Not Cook the ruddy players |  | | |

Yes, it's a good point, not made enough! Cook has one game plan and one only, he has a wealth of players above this level of football, but his half-time team talks, his tactics, his substitutions do absolutely nothing to re-gain control of a game, we've had a whole series of calamitous second halves. | | | |

It’s up to the manager to ensure the players are committed and driven. | |

The manager brought in pretty much all of these players and presumably part of his job is to motivate them. |  |

I'm never sure whether managers (unless they are truly exceptional - SAF/Pep - or have a bucket of cash to spend - Dalgleish at Blackburn/Howe at Bournemouth) really do deliver success and promotions or simply get lucky with a particular group of players at a particular point in time. Evans had a penchant for picking managers who'd taken teams up, some of them more than once, but not one single guy out of Keane, Jewell, Hurst and Lambert did anything other than leave the side weaker than it was when first appointed. Mccarthy is by the exception, perhaps, where a brief dalliance with promotion decayed into turgidity. Hurst on his CV was a stand-out candidate, but everything he touched or changed turned to lead. My fear is Cook has not created a team to challenge, without the good fortune to inherit a squad which hits the sweet spot for one or two seasons, he is no more the Messiah than a very naughty boy whose uncle gave him a whole ten bob note for Christmas. | |
