Hi S1
I have never, at any time, differed with anyone on this forum re tactics - I could have, with my apprenticeship in football management, time served, on the terracing at the jags park! This, I would submit, is the level of tactical understanding the ex Caley fans aspire to.
However, I do differ with some comments on here and get a reaction, when I point out the obvious.
Attacking a player, via a chrystal ball, is nonsense. Stating that players are afraid to pass the ball to a fellow player/ are covering for a fellow player, is absolute tosh!
The manager standing on the line, sober, having coached the players all week cannot see this?? Don't be daft!
He would have the problem player off the park in two seconds flat and replaced.
Our tactics on Saturday - we went for it when we lost the goal(s) and left gaps at the back. Is this a fault? If we had managed to get a point it was a good exercise, we lost another two goals because of this, so what, it was worth a try but it did make the defence look iffy!
Bad management? Don't think so! Bad fans reaction? Maybe!

I am not sure where you are coming from, I certainly wasnt having a go at the manager all I was saying is that football is a game of opinions and fans have always had a go at tactics from time to time and will continue to do so. After Saturdays performance I think it is only to be expected that there would be some reaction, does saturdays performance make Butcher a bad manager, of course not, did he get it wrong on saturday perhaps, will he get it right again next week, I am sure he will
