You can’t be serious. Might not have been obvious to you watching on the telly but we made no effort to switch as a collective group. Players weren’t making position but being ignored.Seriously - you think the actual people to blame are those sitting up in the stand??
The players play the game! The structure allows them to switch, and they do constantly. Hombsch's coaching of the defensive unit has been one of the best things of the entire season - but they will still sometimes stuff things up!
Is your position just to excuse the players every time an error is made - or just to excuse your favourites?
They're not children and they need to take responsibility out there. Stop with the confirmation bias of just blaming the people you WANT to be wrong.
Thats not a playing group going rogue, that’s acting on instruction. Just like they acted on instruction when Nicks instigated the go slow game plan in rounds 1-4.
If a player isn’t playing to instruction they’d hear about it so they do what they are told. Hell Nicks spent the first 4 weeks blaming the players for a lack of shape when he told them not to play on but stop, go back, look for a pass.
It’s amazing to me that you can continue to find ways of defending the coaches and the club even when the bleeding obvious is staring you in the face, he’s just not coach that’s going to take us anywhere. He cost us any chance of finals FFS and yet you’re backing him in because he’s the Crows coach. That will change when he’s eventually sacked and guess what? Your opinion will change too.
