Day couldn't get into a national league side, and he's expensive.
Regarding yesterday there's only one person to blame GC look at the stats Crawley played off the park. I admit I'm not a fan of his but he's either seething or moaning. I briefly looked back to the early part of last season, we were not leaking goals, losing by the odd goal, and when analysed it was through mainly defensive blunders, but thought the football was better we certianly had more of the play, I still believe JR would have sorted it and we would be better off and a playing structure being put in place.
In my day as a 17 yr old inside right the manager was constantly drumming it into us to let the ball do the work (lowandhard has stated this in his comment). GC's method involves little football just charging around the pitch. Even FGR had more of the play then we did and if the had decent striker we would have lost.
The playing structure is important, as is what is it that you are trying to achieve long term. JR brought in Will Evans, Waite, Wildig, Scoucer Lewis, and Omar Bogle.
They are the ones that are scoring and/or creating for GC.
Long term if the plan is to improve players and sell them on, then i could see how lots of ex Cardiff City local youngsters would be attracted to joining JC. He would know exactly what they were capable of, and they knew how he could improve them.
With GC i can see his style is good for staying in this league, but what about the players? I am not so sure that the ability to harrie and chase is what other clubs want to spend money on.........
