Does BA need a kick up the bum?

For the record I am still a huge BA fan and want him to be head coach for life.But tactically BA seems to be a one trick ponyHe comes up with great tactics but they get worked out and we have no plan B and we get doneWe saw that in the nines. BAs tactics worked brilliant for a few games and then they were countered but we continued with plan A even when it was obvious that is was not working.Same the last two games. Opposition has worked out to rush up on us in defence and kill our attack.For the last two games all we have done is bombs. Which were countered all night by blockers and we did not look close. We tried one short kick and it worked and we did not try it again until the end when we got a drop out.Really think BA needs an attacking assistant coach like Jason Taylor. BA has great tactics but he needs more depth and counter measures.

  • The players were too impatient, pushing passes no structure, can't catch simple short balls
  • Pushing passes all I saw was 1 man out crap our 5000 forwards don't go forward
  •  We made far too many mistakes, just dumb lazy boneheaded plays, Scott was the worst.

  • I have no doubt that if this rubbish continues, he will!

  • He is getting kicked in the arse by his own players and doesn't even realise it.
    He needs to wield the axe and make players more accountable, stop taking the soft options. There is no f#%ckn way Taka or Hoffman should have played first grade this week after the sh%#t he dished out last week and it was on display again tonight. They didn't learn their lesson. All players need to compete for positions and not be guaranteed a walk up start.
    We will see what happens this week, if he has any balls, there is no f#%ckn way they should be selected next week they need a decent stint at wenty.
    • Well I will guarantee you that Taka will not get dropped by BA - he's got no balls.
      Remember Seffa?
      As for Hoffman, he's not the problem its Taka.
      Don't know if he's carrying a niggle but boy has he been woeful.
      No speed, poor lateral movement and he makes Jennings look like the most unselfish player ATM.
  • Just got home from the game - what the fark was that? Pretty piss poor from the Eels.

    We will be 2 from 5 leading into round 6 if we dont improve 100% for the Canberra game.

    • Curious F.T.K ?  You were at the game ... TV camera angles don't show if defensive players are behind the ref ... when the ball is being played ... were  they ? No penalties these days to keep teams apart .

    • Frank the game live was more disappointing than ever they have lost it
  • LOLL
