I firmly believe it's how you set the team out so it's down to the coach. At the roadshow recently, Otago Utd reps kept stated that the players are not good enough locally. The clubs stated they should be competing better with the players they've got. The mindset at Otago is that they will be lucky not to finish last and this transmits to the players. It needs a new coach (and board and gm)to instil some pride back into the players, have a better tactical nous than Phelo (pockets and chase)to reflect the strength at club level.
