Heard him on the radio yesterday saying workrate and being good teammates is more important than tactics and skill.

And this in itself is hilarious. The first thing Caldwell decided to do with us was play three at the back. He said this was so complex it would take weeks to get the team to understand it. Several games in our experienced centre back turned, raised his hands to the bench and asked what the f they were all supposed to be doin' during one of our many defeats.

I think a content and bonded team will tend to win whatever way the manager decides to play - they'll make the plan work. But if they haven't the skill or disagree over the tactical plan ....... then they won't be content, friendships will fracture and a happy ship will start to sink.

If several of the players are already not good enough, what was the player analysis that Caldwell did that got him the job? He already seems to have discarded that! A strange man.
