What does he actually do, considering he was a central defender and we happen to have one of the worst defensive records in the division, why are we still employing him.
Woodgate

- Start date
Have you ever taken such interest in our previous assistant managers?

He's the designated escape goat for the club.

Everyone was saying Barlaser was poor on saturday. Best sack Leadbitter also.

He's not actually our 'defensive coach' is he?

And Carrick. Who played in exactly the same position also.

Poor Woodgate's turn today.
It seems to be his turn every day
. Probably gets scrutinised more than the manager which is bizarre.
Also, unlike the manager, he never seems to get any credit when we are doing well. Didn't see anyone posting any praise on the board for two back to back clean sheets against Burnley and Hull. Carrick got all the praise.

Slagging off the coaches is usually a precursor to turning on the Manager. Poor defending is often down to a team structure problem. We are far too open out of possession.

Was instrumental in RVDB signing for us.

Really annoys me that we had Bryan Robson as our manager and Keith O'Halloran wasn't running our midfield like a prime Manchester United Robson.
What is the point of a management team when they can't directly transfer their past attributes onto current players, its a disgrace!

Aaah, this almost makes me nostalgic. I remember when Viv Anderson used to get all the flack for exactly the same reasons.

Viv, Bill Beswick, Leo, at times they've all been responsible for a slump in our form at some time or other.
He's a goat that is good at running away?

Yep, he's always been the escape goat since he rejoined. Probably justified following his pre-Madonna days as a player.
