Whilst Steven Lawless is the Strength & Conditioning coach he is a genuine footballer in his own right. That said it is clear several of the Southern players lack fitness and perhaps his efforts would be better spent rectifying that. The performance yesterday was diabolical. Players are being forced into unfamiliar positions on the pitch and that is showing with poor technique in the new roles, hesitation and poor positioning generally. Thank goodness that is the only two times we will have to watch Southern United on tv this year. Both games they have been awful and while no doubt the youngsters in the squad will cop the blame for that, they have been more truthfully let down by poor performances from the senior players and inept tactics from their coach.
