I know the players read this. I remember an Andy King interview at his gaff back when he was playing where you could clearly see Foxestalk on in the background in a photo.
Why don't you the players start changing the way you play? Start off subtly by agreeing amongst yourselves that you won't play any kamikaze football in the first 5 mins.
Then start trying to bring more and more sane tactics in that actually compliment you as a group?
Brussell can't drop you all can he? (Well actually he could as the squad is big) But if the second group do it as well and we start winning games, Brussell's ego will be taking the plaudits in the media for sure.
Think of it like a Christmas dinner table full of brussell sprouts and you're slowly spoon feeding Martin carrots, potatoes, green beans, turkey, sausages, pigs in blankets, gravy, broccoli etc until he realises there are other options.
