What Buckley is doing with the gameplan is nothing groundbreaking. Its rare these days for a coach to buck the trend, and his gameplan is very much one of the ones that is trending at he moment. This gameplan can win games, but it needs to suit the players. It needs patience, sharp accurate footskills, a willingness to run hard both ways and tackle all day, and the confidence to pull the trigger on risky kicks at times to break the game open.
We currently do no have the tools to execute this gameplan, basically it is not for us. Thats fine, but what is not fine is persisting with it week in and week out, year in and year out and expecting it to change....whats the definition of stupidity again?
What a good coach should be doing is looking at the strengths of the list and basing the gameplan around those strengths, i feel like the gameplan we are playing does nothing to highlight our strengths, but is trying to force us to improve our weaknesses? Either way it is clearly not working and hasn't been for a long time.
It has never been more glaringly obvious than now that the gameplan doesn't suit our players. Lets see if Bucks realises this and has the balls to change it while he still has a job. For me, what he does from here will show just how good (or bad) a coach he actually is.
