Afterbirth can't even run properly!

I'm sure if the gk coach is that bad, he'll be gone at the end of the season....

I'd never heard of him before he joined as youth coach but the website says he was a fan favourite at Tramere and his former manager said he was the most professional player he'd ever worked with. Now that doesn't make him a good coach but along with him earning promotion to the first team, that's all I have to go on considering I've never been to a training session nor have the knowledge of how to judge a coach.

I expect a big overhaul of both coaching & playing staff this summer!

Our website is lying then.

"Signed by Kop legend John Aldridge in September 1998 from Dutch outfit FC Utrecht, he went on to make over 250 appearances for Rovers and was an extremely popular figure among the supporters."

They weren't going to say he was booed off were they? I lived ten minutes from Prenton Park and went to watch them quite a bit.

I've wanted Achterberg out since the Reina days. Seen nothing to change my mind since.

Do you go to the training sessions?

Nah home ones.

"No Tranmere player of the past decade earned a place as close to the hearts of supporters as John Achterberg.

So much so that thousands of fans signed an online petition to persuade the club to grant the Dutch goalkeeper a testimonial."

You can judge a coach by performances on the pitch.

It's very simple, how do you judge the manager? By the teams performances.
Reina was crap under Achterberg. Mig has not improved since he joined and every keeper we play is doing the funky chicken voluntarily. As I said, not seen anything to change my mind.

Right. So the coach who coached Borini was crap, except he coached Suarez too, now I'm confused, was he crap or excellent?

People seem to think coaches and managers are miracle workers. They can only give advice from their knowledge and experience, it's up to the players on implementing that.

I guess the only way to know for sure is opinions of players who have been coached on how good the coach is. I certainly won't judge a coach on how good the player he coached is, otherwise it would change repeatedly as different players are coached.
