Move Lindsay back to coaching role and make Austin player manager. With an option at end of season in case it doesn’t work out. Simples
Simples?
That sounds fucking horrendous.
…Austin would be on the pitch, so the people leading the team from the sidelines would be the same people we have now?
I’ve tried to be patient with Lindsey but just feel like he’s not going to get us to challenge this season. A lot of people talk about the recruitment being bad but I think it’s been ok apart from up front. Sure, compared to last year we have players who are younger and less experienced but I feel this team would be a better team next year with a season under their belts. Where as last seasons team very much felt like a peak/last hurrah for a lot of players. Is there a single player from last years team who is doing better this season? Payne? McKirdy? Barry? Davison? Simpson? Reed? Conroy? Egbo? Hunt? JoJo? Conroy? Baudry? maybe Williams & Gladwin (who are both still here)
Anyway I digress. Think this team is capable of more and feel it’s the management holding the team back rather than the other way round. End of the year and the January window coming up we need seriously think about whether we change it now.
Anything past January and I think we end up sticking with Lindsey. It’s either change or now or don’t change it all season.
