It seems that a significant factor in the poor performances and results since April is because of Dennis Lawerence and Adi Viveash leaving the club and being replaced with inferior coaches and a structure that appears to have undermined the manager.
There has been a lot of criticism of the coaching restructure and this is understandable as Aled Williams and John Dempster do not have very impressive CV´s and this could be a factor in why the players seem so clueless, uninspired and lacking in confidence.
Aled Williams was never a professional footballer and before joining CCFC when the club was in League 1, he was a goalkeeping coach at Telford United.
Before this he was an Academy coach at Wolves, Cardif and New York Red Bulls.
He does not have a UEFA Pro Coaching Licence and under his coaching, the likes of Marko Marosi, Simon Moore and Brad Collins regressed as goalkeepers.
Ben Wilson was fortunate to win the golden glove 2 seasons ago because of the excellent defence in front of him.
Many fans are questioning why Aled Williams is having so much influence on defensive coaching and giving so many instructions to players on a match day, and as he has never played professional football and has a very poor coaching CV, he will probably have minimal respect from the players.
John Dempster spent most of his playing career in non-league and before becoming Academy manager at CCFC he was Academy manager at Mansfield in League 2.
Dempster took over as first team coach when Dennis Lawrence left the club and this coincided with the poor performances and results since April.
Also, during his time at the Academy as Under 18 and Under 21 Manager, no players have become first team regulars, and this is unacceptable for a club like CCFC which previously prided itself on youth development and produced players such as James Maddison, Callum Wilson, Gary McSheffrey and Cyrus Christie.
Considering that the improvement to the training facilities and that the coaching restructure was intended to make CCFC operate like a Premier League club, having coaches like Aled Williams and John Dempster's is clearly the cheap option and the players and other coaches probably think this too.
In my opinion, upgrades to the coaching staff are needed and the club must have higher standards and expectations.
There’s that guy Andy mangan at Stockport who’s never played above league one… he was going to Real Madrid, unfortunately his visa failedSomeone should tell Blackburn that Ben Benson’s only job before joining them was at Carlisle and he never played professionally. They’ll want to replace him immediately.
Dumpster actually has the highest coaching licence available

And that Jose Mourinho bloke ...stunk the place out in the Portuguese second division. He was never going to achieve muchThere’s that guy Andy mangan at Stockport who’s never played above league one… he was going to Real Madrid, unfortunately his visa failed
The name Mangan brings shivers down the spine, goblin nonce.There’s that guy Andy mangan at Stockport who’s never played above league one… he was going to Real Madrid, unfortunately his visa failed
Someone's been on the liquid lunch.Delaney, Alex Williams, John Dempster, Dean Holden, and mrs head of performance - get out of our club you useless clowns. Boateng was a bang average player and he can get fucked with his silly iPad too.
We needed improvements.
Just for comparison/debate, given they are our next opponents, this is Blackburn’s squad photo.
awful lot of staff on there, like us.
On their website the first team coaching staff - in terms of structure/numbers almost identical. Eustace has 2 x assistants.
and apart from Eustace and Rudy Gestede, I defy anyone to have heard of any of the other coaches before….
They are currently 3rd.
My argument would be that they have had a lot longer to bed in than our new coaches have, and suddenly early doors this season they are reaping the rewards. Clearly working for them.
need to give it a bit of time - like robins said he’s still looking at it and what roles people have.
players have got to perform end of the day.
One might argue ‘oh well they’re better coaches’ but who are we to judge especially after 7 league games (although I fully accept it hasn’t been good enough both in terms of results or performance levels).
Whilst I agree on the assistants, the order of the list is irrelevantMain difference being those two assistants were hand picked by Eustace after working with them at Brum. And there’s no director position above the manager.
Delaney, Alex Williams, John Dempster, Dean Holden, and mrs head of performance - get out of our club you useless clowns. Boateng was a bang average player and he can get fucked with his silly iPad too.

Jan van Allen?He’s Dutch
That’s pretty below the beltJan van Allen?
Does it translate to his height? I don't speak fluent Dutch/GhanianThat’s pretty below the belt

Ah ok , you've whooshed me good and proper
I wish that young Wingy would take his education more seriously. He won’t make astronaut without a firm understanding of the fundamentals of Jamie van Allen.Who wouldve thought I'd gained all this useful knowledge of the last few posts all from some halfwit calling Boateng bang average
"Boateng Bang Average"
Not Bad for a Player Who Scored 2 Goals at Aston Villa in a 4.1 Win in the Premier League.
New contracts on the table in the morning?

What's the normal differential about 20-30 ?It was a good win tonight.
I thought today's match would have a negative result about it with Rover's excellent start of the season. They just seem to be on the up at the moment.
It will be interesting looking at everything when the all the results come in.
It was getting a bit feral around here.

Edit;
This was before tonight's match.
Rover's were on the march upwards Thought a draw would be the best that City would get.
Redundant, return to the Robin's philosophy, just needs a number 2 ,get searching and get the applications in smartish before king has chance to block things!Coaches performing miracles now. It’s all coming together
