We had a good spike of results when he was in charge temporarily. He is the constant from the last few years so he should take responsibility for it. Just seems bizarre how he’s built up a reputation in Welsh football and he’s out of his depth at National League level. Somethings not right somewhere.

Theres a one to many relationship here... One carl darlington and a shit ton of players in his time. They cant all be wrong surely.

If Keates goes we need a new manager, board and backroom staff. There’s not a backbone in 99% of the players either so it would be nailed on relegation. The players won’t get us through despite this either. Jennings and Grant are quick enough to open their mouths to referees and the fans, but won’t demand effort from the coaching staff, fellow players or the board. Not a leader in sight I’m afraid.

Best hope we got I think is either a miraculous turn around on the field, bringing someone with experience to assist on the field, board resign and Keates manages to pull the squad together or everyone leaves and we just get lucky.
lucky is a term I have never associated with us

Is this reputation a myth or real. What exactly is this reputation ? Where in the Welsh coaching hierarchy does he fit in.

I’m not defending him, I won’t be bothered if he got the sack or ‘decided to step down’ but I think there could potentially be a greater issue that hasn’t be revealed yet. Wasn’t there rumours Pearson didn’t see eye to eye with Flynn? Could player power be out of control and they need to step in line.

If I was Harris I’d get everyone in separately and ask for an honest diagnoses of what everyone thinks, which direction do we need to go in for an instant improvement. Surely when he worked in Kellogg’s and the sales were down he wouldn’t put it down to bad luck and accept mistakes. I’d imagine there’d be an investigation, meetings, come to a conclusion and see that it’s actioned. If not disciplinary procedures are opened and potential loss of employment.

Is it Darlington? Is it Keates? Are the players being unprofessional? Tactics, preparation, training. Someone should be held accountable and if no one is going to be held accountable Harris must be held accountable because it’s happening on his watch. It’s far too easy to release statements saying we aren’t happy but we’re trying hard and we need your support now more than ever. Get off the phone to Lionel Richies agent and fulfil your role to the club. Volunteer or not he accepted the responsibility.

From what I'm led to believe CD is not particularly well liked by the players as his input is limited to 1 or sometimes 2 days a week. It's interference.
He is apparently well respected in the Welsh Football system.
My thoughts are that at the level we are at, there is too much emphasis on the opposition and how to deal with them rather than setting up to cause them problems.
Keates has a plan A. For plan B refer to plan A but try harder.
This is a Keates philosophy and is confirmed in the clubs statement. Hard to beat is good but it's also difficult to win and puts undue pressure on the back 4 or 7.
