Well, I said on these very boards that I didn't want Cunningham as our coach and I've become more convinced of this view as the season has progressed. We play exactly the same way every week no matter who the opposition or what the conditions and our execution of even that boring, repetitive game plan is so poor it's just unbelievable. A great player does not automatically make a great coach or even a half decent one and having 'passion for the club' and 'knowing the systems' isn't anywhere near enough to make a half decent coach either. We were better than this last year with Brown in charge and I was no big fan of Brown.
Agree with you and have done from day one also. However, be aware that's not a view that's readily accepted on here; largely (I suspect) due to people still judging him as a player rather than his capability as a coach. He's in way above his head and if, after that shambles this evening, people are incapable of seeing the one dimensional, predictable drudgery we are serving up then they never will.
No doubt we'll get the usual combination of apologists and Mugwump's after match dictionary eating sermon for this week telling us all to be positive and that we are actually doing ok.
The reality is, for people brave enough to just admit it, that we are crap. You want a benchmark - look at Leeds with their over aged team, compare them to us and then come back and tell us whether you still think we are a 'good side'.
This team is being coached (and I use the term loosely) to death.
