Maybe they are being asked to do something totally alien to what they have been educated to do for the last 15 years? 

And that is exactly the point of the question that was initially raised.....our inability to produce attacking players good enough for the level we now require.

The coaches skills may have been well suited to what was required of them 15 years ago with our limited resources and expectations......but that is not the case today. 

 

This is not about our scouting and recruitment which has massively improved and is proving very successful.......this is about coaching ability.

 

Our club has developed in all areas beyond recognition from 5-10 years ago.....with the exception of our Yth development coaching staff

I agree... Its not quite what I was saying however! 

 

Imagine being given coaching 4 days a week on technique then being asked to lump it, hit the channels and win 2nd balls...  Alien.

Absolutely right.  I think we are definitely on the same page on that point.....which comes down to coaches who are just not good enough for what we now require.
