Of course they are going to make mistakes and succumb to pressure and it wouldn't matter if we had Barassi, Clarkson, Roos, and Pagan all in the coach's box.
I agree to a point.
The swans barely have a player in their prime right now. But the most disappointing thing was the predictability of the way we lost.
It was a replay of the last 10 times we lost to them. Lack of effort, lack of closing down exit options. Gifting the midfielders 10m space across the field. When we have the ball they lock everyone down. Nobody has 10cm let alone 10m.
The coach either isn't telling the players the right thing or can't get the players to execute. Either way this loss was an epic failure of the coaching staff.
And I honestly think BB is now running out of chances.
