Sith Happens Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Ok, so I know hes not actually on the pitch but what does he do? Its not like we arent getting into decent positions, we had plenty against brentford we just cant score...when we have a shot the accuracy is shocking.

Millenniumram Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He really doesn't seem to be doing anything of note, I know we can't see behind the scenes but I've no idea how he keeps his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, i think its fair to question his role though, especially as he is goal scoring coach and our record is the worst i can ever recall, even in the ill fated PL season we scored more than this.

Hmmmm Good player yes...but if we had a fitness coach (another issue for us i think btw) and they all turned out like lardy homer simpsons surely his or her role would be questioned too.

Tony Le Mesmer Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Strikers shouldn't need a coach. It's one of those specialist positions where you either instinctively know what to do in any given situation or you don't. Just my opinion having been one, albeit failing at the final hurdle to turn my YTS at Hull City into a pro contract. Maybe I DID need coaching after all?

unclej Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He has to have an unbreakable contract, but even so, in any other form of business, he'd be gone long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 He doesnt just train vydra, he will be working with all the team on goal scoring... We get in decent positions, we just cant score, lack of confidence, just put your laces through it and get it on target, our accuracy is shocking. Can you imagine a derby player scoring a goal like russells against forest in the 5-0 right now? not a chance it would end up halfway to bristol.

Carnero Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Why do Derby fans have a constant need to find one person to blame for all their woes? Where has it been said by the club that all Phillips is tasked with is coaching the forwards? Phillips is part of the coaching staff that's it. Just because he's as ex-forward it doesn't mean he's the man to blame for all of our striking woes, just like ex-defender Powell isn't solely to blame for defensive problems and ex-midfielder McClaren isn't solely to blame for midfield problems. Pearson, Ranieiri, Clement, Pearson (again) and now McClaren have all deemed him worthy of a coaching role, on this basis I'd hazard to suggest that he contributes much more to the coaching team than telling our forwards to not score.

If it means hysterical types pick on him rather than any of the players, then that might have some value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 HTF do we know what he does in his day to day role. People need to just let things take its course and see what happens. We can try and pin point the blame in a lot of areas right now, fans, coaches, players, chairman, CEO or grass too long. Just take your pick.

I agree totally, the random scapegoating of our players or staff is counter productive.... but that Christie is ******* useless get him out and gone now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
