I hope I am wrong but his comment the other day about not being able to play expansive football, does suggest that the ‘tactic’ we see all the time of Clayton hammering a ball over the top for Miller to try and handle, is basically the model he is trying to get us to adopt. Don’t have the talent to play through teams, so we go over them.
But if they aren't capable why sign them to play that way.

I hate to say it but Evans would have us playing better than what we are currently seeing. We would also be further up the table I reckon. In no way though would I want him as our manager.
Cannot believe things are so bad that we are even tentatively discussing the prospect of Steve Evans as manager.
What happens when we get a new manager and everyone wants him out too? They don’t come waving magic wands as people seem to hope. People were happy with the recruitment in the summer and on Saturday it was back to chants of “sack the board” and “Gavin Baldwin (not that it’s anything to do with him but anyway) shops at Netto.” Selby is right, the opinions blow in the wind. Is it the manager, is it the investment, is it both? Who cares as long as there’s someone to shout at. Right now it’s in fashion to slate the current manager and pick at every single word he says. There’s probably no winning the fanbase back now, and it has been hard to watch at times. But when we get a new manager we’ll have more difficult spells as that’s football. We’re Doncaster Rovers not Manchester City. The delusion is now rife and the demands detached from reality. I’ll get a boatload of criticism for this from people saying “we just want to see good football and we have a right to say our piece.” But it’s just not true is it, we’ll be back here again in months under the next manager. If we play well and lose then the football is irrelevant. If we win without playing well then we demand expansive football. The loud mouths on Twitter will regroup when we have a new manager and start the next campaign to get someone sacked.
