90 minutes trying to stop a steamroller then you get thrown under a bus by your new manager.
I will give him the benefit of more than 1 game but I would take issue with Nelson on 3 things for starters.
1. Playing 5 at the back whilst also playing Apter behind 2 forwards leaves you with 2 midfielders against on that showing the best footballing side in the league. Not the smartest of tactics which allowed them to pass through the middle at will. Did nothing to address the rather obvious issue during the game. Felt sorry for Beeston and Butterfield who were on a hiding to nothing.
2. Playing Ogle out of position after a longish injury break obviously did not work. Got absolutely roasted in the first half when County got through us down the right at will. 2 left backs on the bench but nothing got changed.
3. No problem with giving the players a roasting in the dressing room after the game but not sure it helps to continue it into your press interview. He claimed he was being honest. Sounded a bit like the players are all shit and it’s not my fault they can’t or won’t do what I tell them. Maybe Daws was a bit soft with the players but did that opinion need airing on the radio?
He was obviously emotional which proves he cares which is at least more than Hill ever demonstrated but he has work to do if he is going to be here after the takeover is finalised.
