Gone down hill since he left?

There is a lot that happened around that time, but my money is on the strategic changes to the coaching set-up, from the departure of Dennis Lawrence and Adi Viveash to the introduction of the psychobabble Performance Director and four first team coaches who had very little in terms of a track record.
Was that all down to Doug or did Robins have a hand in it? I thought him and Adi seemed to bond really well.

Oh, and the GK coach is clearly a waste of space - he can't get any of them to perform in all respects (shot-stopper, cross-catcher, commander of the box, communicator with defence).

Was locking for a thread to post this so it wasn’t wasted on Twitter.

This forum has definitely bedwetted more since he left!

I have no idea if Boddy was good bad or indifferent, but it's amazing how fans from no business background decided that we'd been promoted above him and he was out of his depth at Championship level, despite having zero clue about his role.

In general terms, if I asked a complex maths question, not more than a handful on this forum could answer it without Google, having attained only basic maths as a child, yet stragely, everyone has an opinion on the inner workings of a football club despite most only having only kicked a ball about a bit and rarely willing to say 'I don't know'.

I feel like we’re just blaming everything and anything for our decline in form now. It’s King, it’s Robins, it’s the players, it’s Claire-Marie Roberts, it’s Dean Austin, it’s a lack of SISU, it’s because Lawrence left, it’s because Adi left, it’s the new coaches, it’s the refs, it’s the ball-boys fault.

I don’t think anyone of us really know the exact reason why we’re underperforming but I’m pretty sure Dave Boddy’s departure is not the main reason we’re playing so poorly

That was the conclusion King came to.

How do you know that? Perhaps Boddy was saying you don’t need a performance director, multiple iPad holders aka coaches, keep Adi, keep kids ticket prices reasonable - and therefore for some reason his face didn’t fit any more.

As @rob9872 says I don't know how good Boddy was at his job, but some of the criticism and even abuse he got on here seemed way over the top for a bloke just going about his job the best he could.

No. None of that. It was to do with the kit deal when the distributor went bust.

If things are that bad, then you need to ring the Samaritans.
