[CompletelySaddled]

For clarity here is what I said pre Salford….

@CompletelySaddled

I’d be very surprised if he had been that involved in the tactical / selection element of the goings on….maybe a third voice if things weren’t completely agreeable but overall I doubt if he had much input….and I doubt very much if it was his preferred way of doing things.

I think we need to be very careful with how we perceive the next two weeks / 3 games / results. I think Sadler will want a very different way of playing but that’ll be nigh on impossible to implement in such a short space of time.

If he wants to be considered permanently I hope the board and the fans can hopefully see some signs of a different direction on the play, even if we can’t immediately turn results round.

Personally I’d much prefer him to be given a crack ahead of names like the Cowleys or Graham Alexander.

@CompletelySaddled

I feel for Sadler. I’ve no doubt he’d want a shot at doing the job, but I think unfortunately too many will judge him on what they see in these three games and it’ll be nowhere near enough time to put his stamp on things.

The damage done in terms of structure, ethos, confidence to pass the ball, and trust your teammates with the ball is way too far gone for anyone to correct in a matter of weeks let alone days.

I’d simply like to see a change of formation and a plan or desire to try and construct attacks rather than aimlessly putting the ball into areas. If we show that, results should be immaterial as to whether he’s suitable longer term or not.
