DA has developed a knack of making statements in his post match interviews of saying things that we find perplexing at best and insulting at worst, but I think it is pretty clear that he is doing this to defend the players.
Interestingly, John Sheridan used to (and still does at Oldham) do the opposite, saying that he’s put the team through training, given the team talk and told them what to do and is therefore blameless if they fail to do it. The fault lies entirely with the players. Us fan base didn’t particularly like that either, but I guess it had a honesty that DA’s post match interviews seem to not possess currently, which frankly makes him seem a times a bit delusional.
I guess what I’m saying is when you face the media after continual poor performances, you are between a rock and a hard place. Who’d manage Argyle ‘eh?!
