Pooch have you considered that is is very difficult to establish your best team IF your best team is still worse than almost all your opponents.
This season there isn't a lot of positive evidence as what is our best formation, playing style or first eleven. Even when you look at a game like perhaps Northampton where we played well against a team that was winning at the time, how do you share out our good and their bad?
I can understand Danny feeling defensive and adopting his Les Dawson stance when his team's on the field. Unfortunately I can understand it so well that I'm sure he creates exactly the situation he wants to avoid. Imagine if your manager at work came up and stood watching you with his arms folded like Danny, how would you think you were performing, and if he was always like that, who would you think he was blaming, himself, or his workforce?
By the way a lot of top managers do it when their team is performing badly. Arsene and Pep to name two, but neither looks as desperately defensive as Danny.
