Coaching
Surreylily:
There have been a few grumbles of late regarding Reirdon.
There are a couple of people who blame the coach for everything, including the weather, but I think it's fair to say that the coaching needs to be assessed/examined. in light of our recent play, or lack thereof.
There has been a definite downturn in our team and for a while now.
We had a whole series of games where we played like crap, then put in an effort in the last twently minutes.... then ten minutes and then only five minutes. lots of come from behinds ,that we really didn't deserve to win.
Now we've (RIGHTLY) stopped winning.
Is it the system? That's down to the coaches.
Is iit the executiion? That's down to the players.
Is it motivation? Who's to blame for that? 50/50 imho.
What really concerns me right now is the lack of correcting the constant and repeat mistakes that are being made, over and over again. The passing and giveaways are appalling. The telegraphed stretch passes that a blind person can see.
Our face=offs are appalling. WHAT is wrong wiith Nicky?
As for our D .......... :huh: I say send them to Dale Hunter for a week...... :snicker:
WHY can't Reirdon address these glaringly obvious issues. Has he lost the room?

Honestly, I'd prefer them to slump NOW as opposed to mid-April/May/June

Do you thiink the awfull play is just due to a slump? I hope you're right luv
t's one hellof a slump and it's been going on for a while now. I'd say around the last 20 games or so give or take...
That's not a slump. That's a collapse.
Imho.

I can't see this team playing in May or June. Hope I'm wrong.
It was only a matter of time before this team started losing games. The Caps weren't really playing that well early in the season but we're pulling out alot of wins that we didn't deserve. We have played without structure from day 1 winning games on skill alone.
