I have series concerns about Speeds abilities stroke experience as a manager
Playing 1 up front with two out wide does not produce goals and leaves teams confident we will pose them few problems. To stop teams like Doncaster playing you need to pressure them but with one up front this is not possible. Against Doncaster he persisted in the 433 tactics that are clearly not working can you recall any interplay between our forwards or a midfield player joining the attack
Despite playing a wide player on each flank Gary Speeds team tactics never prevented both Doncaster full backs being able to advance into acres of room un marked and unopposed and it was from the flanks that both goals [it may have looked bad on the TV but it was looked even worse from the stands] how can that happen and how can a manager not see it?
GS at Doncaster again persisted with the wrong tactics like a rabbit in headlights long after everyone else had realised it was not working. The last twenty minute only showed what could have been.
As I stated at the Middlesboro match GS did not have the bottle or insight to change tactics when a game was there for the taking nothing in the intervening period gives me any confidence that he is the right choice. SheffU needed some one with a track record of success not an apprentice!
Fellow blades I am not some one who blames the manager at every hic up but I now reluctantly come to the conclusion that although he may have been a good player and played at the highest level GM does not have the astuteness guile etc to be a manager. Mark my words he will be gone by Xmas 2011, Mr McCabe should act now to avoid another wasted year and go for a proper manager who can read a game and get the best out of players [the Chesterfield or Port Vale Manager?]
