He said "I feel the support staff are giving everything they possibly can to give the players what they need. But I don’t think it’s reciprocated."I suspect its a combination. The players looked poorly motivated, which comes from themselves and from the Gaffer. Poor tactics may be due to coaching or to players not executing the coaching strategy.
I also have some concern about the fitness coaching. It is constantly being lauded, and we had a fitness measurement day on Friday, yet we seem to get a disproportionate amount of muscle strains and players who can only play for part of a match.
KRs comments last night about removing some of the junior coaching staff from the dressing room so the players could speak freely is also of concern. Smells of backroom discontent.
So my impression of some of them leaving the dressing room was to:
1. Allow the players to speak out freely if they so wished about any issues they had with the set-up. (No-one did)
2. Not submit some of the coaching staff to the post-match dressing down/rant because he believes little fault lies at their door.
