I think the coaches role is often overplayed match day, it really is more down to the players.
The funny thing is that many people dont want players to be verstaile. they moan and bitch about when a forward get moved down back etc, but then moan that the coach doesn't do enough match day.
Do they expect hardwick to only play players in one position, but then change them into another position when things are not going well and it will be a match winning move?
