PW picks pretty much the same team as wanted by the armchair managers. And they are still whining.

Once they are on the pitch it is out of his hands till half time.

The Shrews are playing better than their league position shows.

The pitch has been narrowed to help them stop the runs down the side restricting crosses. Only 2 in the first half.

We need to play quicker and need someone on to control the centre of the pitch.

His job isn’t just to pick the team ! A bit of training wouldn’t go amiss !!

A managers job is much more than just picking 11 players. The armchair managers don't just want to see names on a teamsheet they want to see those players sent out there with a clear plan on how their abilities are going to be utilised to create a functioning / winning team. 

We regularly see a barely functioning team that sometimes manages to be a winning team, but when it doesn't end up winning the lack of cohesion/function sticks out like a sore thumb.

And it's not out of the manager's hands until half time at all. There are tactical tweaks you can make as a manager without needing to make subs and/or wait until half.

If people see other managers making those tweaks to counter our play but our manager failing to make the same sort of tweaks, they're going to point it out.
